GO-2401M-PGE / GO-2401C-PGE Event Control “Event control” is a function that uses GVCP (GigE Vision Control Protocol) to output points of change in the camera’s internal signal as event occurrence information or “event messages.” When this information is output, the camera’s internal timestamp counter value is added.
GO-2401M-PGE / GO-2401C-PGE ■ To use the event control function Configure the settings as follows. Item Setting value / selectable range Description Event Selector Acquisition Trigger, Select the event for which to send notifications. Frame Start, Frame End, FVAL Start,...
(Index 0) to the highest (Index 255). For example, Index 0 represents a full black pixel and Index 255 represents a full white pixel on the GO-2401M-PGE. LUT Value 0 to 4095 Set the LUT output value for the selected index.
GO-2401M-PGE / GO-2401C-PGE 4095 Linear interpolation using data to the left and right is used to LUT Value [1] determine values between points.

GO-2401M-PGE / GO-2401C-PGE Within 30% of adjustment range ■ Color Shading (GO-2401C-PGE only) R-channel and B-channel properties are adjusted to using the G-channel shading properties as a reference. Pre-correction Post-correction Caution Proper correction is not possible under the following conditions.
GO-2401M-PGE / GO-2401C-PGE ROI (Regional Scanning Function) The ROI (region of interest) function allows you to output images by specifying the areas to scan. ROI Settings Specify the area to scan by specifying width, height, and horizontal/vertical offset values under [Image Format Control].
GO-2401M-PGE / GO-2401C-PGE Video Send Mode Switch the video send mode to configure and operate Multi ROI, Sequence Trigger, and other JAI Custom Control functions. Video Send Mode ■ To switch the video send mode Select the video send mode in [Video Send Mode Selector].
GO-2401M-PGE / GO-2401C-PGE Specify an ROI in the area scanned by MultiROI On Mode Sensor ROI and output as a separate stream. Frame Sensor Memory ■ Sequence Trigger function The Sequence Trigger function lets you define up to 128 preset combinations of exposure time, gain, ROI, and other settings which can be stepped through each time a trigger is received.

GO-2401M-PGE / GO-2401C-PGE [Sequence Repetition] This parameter applies to Trigger Sequence patterns which include an index whose [Sequence ROI Next Index] is set to OFF. When the index whose [Sequence ROI Next Index] is set to OFF is finished executing, the value of Sequence Repetition (range = 1-255) is decremented internally.
Page 40
GO-2401M-PGE / GO-2401C-PGE Changing the value of [Command Sequence Index] to one of the other predefined indexes causes that index to be executed in response to subsequent triggers. This mode of operation enables users to develop applications that continually send new values to [Command Sequence Index] in response to external factors such as changing light conditions, different types or sizes of objects being inspected, or other factors.
GO-2401M-PGE / GO-2401C-PGE Delayed Readout [Acquisition Transfer Start] Delayed readout enables images captured by a Frame Start trigger command to be stored inside the camera and read out on demand at a later time using Acquisition Transfer Start trigger. This can be especially useful when multiple cameras need to be triggered at the same time, but simultaneous readout of all images would overwhelm the available network bandwidth.
GO-2401M-PGE / GO-2401C-PGE Detailed Settings for Gain Auto (Automatic Gain Level Control) When [Gain Auto] is set to [Continuous], you can configure the conditions for automatic adjustment in detail. Item Description ALC Reference Specify the target level for automatic gain control. (This setting is also used for automatic exposure control.)
GO-2401M-PGE / GO-2401C-PGE Counter and Timer Control Function (counter support only) The counter function counts up change points in the camera’s internal signals using the camera’s internal counter, and reads that information from the host side. This function is useful for verifying error conditions via the count value using internal camera operations.
GO-2401M-PGE / GO-2401C-PGE ■ To use the counter function Configure the settings as follows. Three counters can be configured (Counter 0 to 2). Item Setting value / selectable range Description Counter 0 to 2 Counter 0 to 2 Select the counter.
