    IC-M29S-CL 3. Installation In this section you will find information on the proper means of mounting your camera in your system, connecting the camera to a frame grabber and power supply, as well as ensuring proper electrical connections to the camera’s I/O signals.

  • Page 15: Camera Connections

    3.4. Camera connections The camera connections are laid out on the back panel of the camera as follows: Power input connection (Hirose 6-pin) Power Camera link connection Control I/O connection (MDR-26) (Hirose 12-pin) Cam Link0 Control Figure 3.1 Camera connectors 3.4.1 Camera Link0 connection The Camera Link0 connection adheres to the latest Camera Link Standard.

  • Page 18: Image Acquisition

    • Trigger Slave Overlap Each acquisition mode is selectable using the ISVI Camera Control Tool for this camera. A red LED status light is on the back panel of the camera (see Figure 4.1) and indicates through its on/off timing which acquisition mode the camera is currently in.

  • Page 19: Freerun Mode

    4.2. Free-run Mode In Free-Run mode the camera creates its own internal trigger and continuously acquires images without the need for any external triggers. The exposure time is selectable by the user and it determines the cycle time of the inter- nally generated trigger.

  • Page 20: Trigger Master Mode

    4.3. Trigger Master Mode In Trigger Master mode the camera controls the Exposure period (Master condition) which is programmed in the camera by the user. The camera then waits for an external trigger to be applied to CC1 of the Camera Link connec- tion or to the External Trigger pin of the I/O connection.

  • Page 21: Trigger Master Overlap Mode

    4.4. Trigger Master Overlap Mode In Trigger Master Overlap mode the camera controls the Exposure period (Master condition) which is programmed in the camera by the user. The camera then waits for an external trigger to be applied to CC1 of the Camera Link connection or to the External Trigger pin of the I/O connection.

  • Page 22: Trigger Slave Mode

    IC-M29S-CL 4.5. Trigger Slave Mode In Trigger Slave Mode the Exposure period is controlled by the pulse width of the applied trigger signal (Slave condition). The camera waits for an external trigger to be applied to CC1 of the Camera Link connection or to the External Trigger pin of the I/O connection.

  • Page 23: Trigger Slave Overlap Mode

    IC-M29S-CL 4.6. Trigger Slave Overlap Mode In Trigger Slave Overlap Mode the Exposure period is controlled by the pulse width of the applied trigger signal (Slave condition). The camera waits for an external trigger to be applied to CC1 of the Camera Link connection or to the External Trigger pin of the I/O connection.

  • Page 24: Camera Control And Features Description

    The features of this camera are controlled using the ISVI Camera Control Tool designed for this camera model. The use of the Camera Control Tool is described in this section.

  • Page 26: Data Bits

    5.3. Data Bits The Data Bit Resolution feature provides the user with the choice of 8-bit, 10-bit or 12-bit digital resolution for the image data output. The user must ensure that the proper frame grabber camera file is used to capture the selected bit resolution.
  • Page 27 ing either the X- or the Y-ROI or both will result in a reduction in the amount of data transmitted to the frame grab- ber. The user can choose to set the desired ROI by adjusting the pixel offset in the X-direction and the line offset in the Y-direction.
  • Page 28 offset the ROI from the left edge of the full frame. Adjusting the X-Offset Left value automatically changes the ROI X-Width. Symmetric Enables/disables Auto-Symmetry. When enabled, the user enters only the X-Offset Left and Y-Offset Top values and the ROI will automatically be changed and centered within the full frame and the calculated offsets displayed.

    • An increase in the dynamic range of the sensor resulting from the larger charge capacity of the summing node (typically 1.65-2 times increase in well depth). The tradeoff for the gains due to binning are: • A loss of image resolution equal to the binning level. - 2x2 Binning resolution is: 3288 x 2192 pixels - 4x4 Binning resolution is: 1644 x 1096 pixels •...
