This window allows the user to immediately verify the timing or control parameters without needing to run a separate acquisition program. To control the camera and frame grabber settings, the user must open two instances of CamExpert—one is used to control the frame grabber features and as a display window.

camera will continue to output image data at the maximum specified. The result will be that some trigger pulses will be missed and there will be an associated distortion of the image data. When the line rate returns to below the maximum specified, then normal imaging will be reestablished. The Piranha XL camera can accommodate the full range of line rate frequency—from the maximum specified to a stopped condition. -
Page 23: Maximum Trigger (Line) Rate
Maximum Trigger (Line) Rate There are now two configurations of the Piranha XL camera. The high speed configuration PX-HM-16K12B-00-R has a useful operating range from 14 kHz • up to 125 kHz. It will operate below 14 kHz but may experience increased offset associated with dark current, both on a pixel and global basis. - Page 24 Relevant Features: Direction Source, Internal Direction The Piranha XL camera can accommodate a forward and reverse scan direction. The sensor timing must follow the image as it moves over its imaging area. If the direction is wrong then the image will look out of focus, as can be seen in the following figure.
-

progressively indexed over the entire panel. Direction can be dynamically controlled by sending the appropriate direction command to the camera or via the CLHS GPIO (General Purpose Input / Output) control bits. The CLHS GPIO direction is controlled by writing Frame Grabber register #80524, bit 2. -
Page 26: Establishing The Desired Response
Establishing the Desired Response One of the most important performance characteristics of the Piranha XL camera that will determine the camera’s suitability for a specific application is its responsivity and the associated noise level at the system’s maximum line rate and under the desired illumination conditions and lens configuration. -
Page 27: Measuring Exposure Time
When evaluating the responsivity of the camera, set the exposure time to the maximum allowable for the system, minus any margin required for illumination degradation, if applicable. The line rate during evaluation is not critical and can be internal or externally triggered as long as its period does not violate the above rule. -
Page 28: Image Response Uniformity
Note that when adjusting the row selection, a momentary loss of LVAL will occur. This will also happen when changing user sets that include row selection.

Different Areas of Interest can also be selected to be output on the Master and Salve ports. This would allow the camera to be connected to a dual port frame grabber or two frame grabbers, possibly in two PC’s. Using this configuration may eliminate frame grabber and/or PC bandwidth issues allowing the camera to achieve its maximum line rate. -

Page 33: Help With Lens Focusing & Camera Alignment
Note: A positive offset value is not useful for contrast enhancement. However, it can be used while measuring the dark noise level of the camera to ensure zero clipping is not present. Help with Lens Focusing & Camera Alignment See the section Camera Control Category in Appendix A for GenICam features associated with this section and how to use them Before evaluating the cameras imaging performance, it is important to ensure that the image is properly focused and that the camera’s 16k pixel axis is perpendicular to the motion of the object. -
Page 34: Ensuring Rows Are Aligned To The Object Motion
Ensuring Rows are Aligned to the Object Motion To achieve the best image quality, it is important that the object motion tracks across the CMOS TDI rows without any up or down movement. One method of achieving this is to align the CMOS TDI rows to the object motion by using a stationary target located at the object plane, which has a black-to-white single, sharp transition perpendicular to the direction of motion, and is in focus. - Page 35 When both end of the line profile are equal to the center, then the camera will be aligned • both in the scan direction and rotationally with the black-to-white transition. The accuracy of the adjustment can be increased by using 8 rows or even 4 rows. However, •...
-
Page 36: Changing Output Configuration
This method is not effective for CCD TDI cameras with many stages as there is insufficient sensitivity. Area mode imaging is required. Single line cameras would be too sensitive. However, the Piranha XL camera has the right number of rows to make this simple alignment method practical. -
Page 37: Using Fiber Modules
Using Fiber Modules The Piranha XL camera is capable of supporting one or two “CX4 Active Optical” fiber modules, which can have cable lengths up to 300 meters. The fiber module plugs directly into the camera connectors, which provide both communication and power to the module. CX4 fiber modules support four receiver lines, which results in only four image data lanes with one also carrying command response data and being available from the camera to the frame grabber. -

imperfections will appear as vertical stripes in the image. If the white reference had imperfections that caused dark features, there will be a bright vertical line during normal imaging. Similarly, bright features will cause dark lines. It can be very difficult to achieve a perfectly uniform, defect- free white reference. -

Continuously Smeared, Compressed or Stretched Images When accurate synchronization is not achieved, the image will appear smeared in the scan direction.

Note: If you have confirmed that the camera’s optical axis is perpendicular to the material surface and you still have difficulty focusing at the edges, then check that the lens specification for MTF characteristics over the entire field of view. The MTF of lenses typically reduces at the edges of the field of view. -
Page 65: Power Supply Issues
Power Supply Issues For reliable operation the camera input supply must be within +12 V to + 24 V. The power supply to the camera should be suitably current limited as per the applied input voltage of between +12 V to +24 V. Assume a worst case power consumption of 24 W and a 150% current rating for the breaker or fuse. -
