  • Page 31: Power Supply (Pin 1-4)

    After attaining the end cooling temperature (- 20 °C) the current capacity goes down to approx. 1.9 ... 2.3 A. The exact value also depends on the ambient tem- perature of the camera (not for Bigeye P-132B, because it is uncooled). Bigeye P-629 The camera requires 12 V +5% at a current capacity of maximum 2.8 A.

  • Page 39: Mode Setting

    Camera interfaces Note Bigeye P-629: The timer has to be enabled via the ExposureMode feature in order to control the exposure. Set the  TriggerMode feature to On if the electromechanical shutter operation is needed, otherwise it will stay permanently open.

    Peltier cooling inactive (power saving). Table 13: TriggerMode Binning Each Bigeye camera variant supports one distinct binning configuration (either 1 x 2 or 2 x 2) which can be switched on or off. This is controlled using the GigE Vision features BinningVertical and BinningHorizontal from the ImageSizeControl branch of the feature tree.
