    Camera Operation The following sections describe typical operations performed with the camera. The descriptions rely on the feature-based Camera Link GenCP protocol, using the Sapera CamExpert application. If you are using a different application, the display configuration will differ but the category, parameter (feature) names and possible values remain the same.

  • Page 24: Typical Setup And Evaluation

    Typical Setup and Evaluation Optical Configuration Typically, the first thing you want to do is to evaluate the camera’s image quality under operating conditions similar to those that you are likely to use in your application. To do this, take the following steps: The illumination, lens magnification, and focus should be set up as per you application.

  • Page 25: Check Camera And Sensor Information

    Check Camera and Sensor Information Camera and sensor information can be retrieved via a controlling application—for example, the CamExpert GUI shown in the following examples. Parameters such as camera model, firmware version, sensor characteristics, and so forth, are read to uniquely identify the connected device. The Camera Information category groups these parameters.

  • Page 34: Trigger Modes

    Trigger Modes The camera’s image exposures are initiated by a trigger event. The trigger event is either a programmable internal signal used in free running mode, an external input used for synchronizing exposures to external triggers, or a programmed function call message by the controlling computer.

  • Page 35: Exposure Controls

    Exposure Controls Exposure control is defined as the start of exposure and exposure duration. Exposure control modes define the method and timing of controlling the sensor integration period. The integration period is the amount of time the sensor is exposed to incoming light before the video line data is transmitted to the controlling computer.
  • Page 36 Camera Control Parameter Description Internal Line Camera line rate in a range from 300 Hz up to 80 kHz (2k, 4k, 8k) or 48 kHz Rate (16k). This feature is only available when the camera is in Internal Mode (free running): that is, the line trigger is disabled (Trigger Mode off).

  • Page 39: Gain And Black Level (Offset)

    Gain and Black Level (Offset) The gain and black level controls can make small compensations to the acquisition in situations where lighting varies and the lens iris can not be easily adjusted. Optimal gain and black level adjustments maximizes the Linea CL dynamic range for individual imaging situations. Use the Offset and Gain features to maximize the use of the output dynamic range (especially when pixel format is less than 12 bits).

  • Page 40: Binning

    Binning Binning is the combining of two or more image sensor pixels to form a new combined pixel. A binned image using the same exposure settings as a non-binned image will show an improved signal-to-noise ratio, reduced scanning times (due to lower spatial resolution) and save as a smaller image file size compared with a non-binned image, at the expense of lower image resolution.

    Lens Modeling Any lens surrounded by air can be modeled for camera purposes using three primary points: the first and second principal points and the second focal point. The primary points for a lens should be available from the lens data sheet or from the lens manufacturer. Primed quantities denote characteristics of the image side of the lens.

  • Page 57: Sensor Handling Instructions

    Sensor Handling Instructions This section reviews proper procedures for handling, cleaning, or storing the Linea CL camera. Specifically the camera sensor needs to be kept clean and away from static discharge to maintain design performance. Electrostatic Discharge and the Sensor Cameras sensors containing integrated electronics are susceptible to damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD).

  • Page 58: Cleaning The Sensor Window

    An important note on window blemishes When flat field correction is performed, window cleanliness is paramount. The figure below shows an example of what can happen if a blemish is present on the sensor window when flat field correction is performed. The blemish will cast a shadow on the wafer. FFC will compensate for this shadow by increasing the gain.

    The EXSYNC signal tells the camera when to integrate and readout the image. It can be either an internally generated signal by the camera, or it can be supplied externally via the serial interface.
