Camera operation
1. General
This manual covers the digital monochrome progressive scan camera CM-140GE/CM-
140GE-RA and color progressive scan camera CB-140GE/CB-140GE-RA
The CM-140GE/CM-140GE-RA/CB-140GE/CB-140GE-RA /CM-140GE-UV is a GigE Vision compliant
camera. Both the monochrome version CM-140GE/CM-140GE-RA and the color version CB-
140GE/CM-140GE-RA provide a frame rate of 31 frames/second at full resolution in continuous
operation. Using vertical binning (CM-140GE/CM-140GE-RA only) and partial scan provides higher
frame rates.
The 1/2" CCD with square pixels offers a superb image quality. The high-speed shutter function
and asynchronous random trigger mode allows the camera to capture high quality images of fast
moving objects.
The color version CB-140GE/CB-140GE-RA, based on CCD sensor with primary RGB Bayer mosaic
filter, outputs raw Bayer images. Host-based color interpolation is required to display or save
color images.
The CM-140GE-UV employs a UV sensitive sensor for covering UV wavelengths.
The CM-140GE/CM-140GE-RA/CB-140GE/CB-140GE-RA/CM-140GE-UV also complies with the
GenICam standard and contains an internal XML file that is used to describe the functions/features
of the camera. For further information about GigE
