CC640 Digital Camera
3.2 Power Switch
The power switch can be used to power the camera continuously on or to place the
camera in Auto power mode. The switch should not be left in the On position
under normal operation. Leaving the switch in the On position will prevent the
camera from entering its low power quiescent mode of operation. The power
switch does need to be placed to the On position to perform configuration set-up
or to focus the camera.
In the Auto position the camera will automatically reduce its power consumption
to the low power quiescent mode after an image is acquired. It is recommended to
place the switch in the Auto position when images are being triggered by either
the external input or the self-timed mode.
3.3 Snap Button
The Snap button is used to manually take a picture. The power switch needs to be
set to the On position for the Snap button to operate.
When the Snap button is pressed the LED will slowly flash 2 times, indicating
successful initiation of an image acquisition.
3.4 Set-up Button
The Set-up button performs 2 functions: it toggles the video output on or off and
it places the camera in set-up mode. The power switch will need to be in the On
position for the Set-up Button to operate.
When the Set-up Button is pressed the LED will slowly flash once.
Pressing the Set-up button will force the camera to its default BAUD rate
(115,200) on the RS-232 port for about 40 seconds so that the Device
Configuration Software can be used to configure the camera. Image acquisitions
will also be placed on hold for the same time period. To indicate that the camera is
in Set-up mode the LED will briefly flash once per second.
If no configuration communications occur during the 40 seconds, the camera will
exit set-up mode and resume its normal operating mode. The LED will flash once
every 5 seconds.
Pressing the Set-up Button will toggle the Video output on or off. The video
output is used to focus and target the camera in conjunction with a normal
television or video monitor. The video output will remain on until the set-up
button is pressed to toggle it off. The video output will be turned off when the
camera enters its quiescent mode, 5 minutes after the camera’s power switch has
been placed in the Auto position.
3.5 Video Output
The video output connector provides an analogue video signal for the purpose of
focusing and targeting the camera. The video output can be configured to NTSC
(National Television System Committee) or PAL (Phase Alternating Line) using
the Device Configuration Software. NTSC is the standard used in North America
and PAL is the standard that is used in most European countries. Consult your
monitor owner’s manual for display information.
The video output signal is intended for use with a television or monitor that has a
NTSC or PAL video input. Most monitors will have one or two audio input
