    The GenICam standard consists of multiple modules that specify tasks to be solved. Allied Vision cameras and software make use of these modules, like the Standard Feature Naming Convention (SFNC) that standardizes feature names and types via an XML file or the transport layer interface (GenTL) that is used to grab images.

    Installation and hardware This chapter describes the components required for your vision system including configuring the host computer, Ethernet adapter settings, and connecting your Prosilica GX camera. Prosilica GX Technical Manual V2.3.1...
  • Page 18: Configuring The Host Computer

    Installation and hardware Configuring the host computer Allied Vision GigE Vision cameras can operate on 10/100 or Gigabit speed Ethernet adapters. In order to reach the maximum camera frame rate, a Gigabit speed Ethernet adapter with jumbo packet support is required.
  • Page 19: Ethernet Adapter Driver Settings

    Transmit Buffers 256 bytes Default packet size The default packet size of Allied Vision GigE cameras is 8228 bytes. The host network adapter needs to support a packet size of equal or larger size to stream from the camera. Ethernet adapter For desktop systems, use a PCI Express bus Ethernet adapter.

    Prosilica GX color models with ON Semiconductor sensors now use sensors with the new Gen 2 CFA materials. For more information, see the Product Change Notification on the Allied Vision website. Resolution and ROI frame rates This section provides performance information about the impact of reducing the region of interest on the camera’s maximum frame rate.
  • Page 24 In the example chart below, the frame rate for a 16-bit pixel format is given on a Prosilica GX1050 camera. The upper line shows the frame rate in dual GigE mode, where no bandwidth limitation occurs. The lower line shows the frame rate in single GigE mode, where bandwidth limitation occurs after a data threshold of 124 Mbit/s.
  • Page 25 Specifications The Prosilica GX camera can be operated near peak sensor frame rates even when using a single interface connection. The frame rate vs. height graphs included in this section provide frame rate performance results for both single GigE interface and dual GigE LAG configurations at 8-bit or 16-bit output formats.

  • Page 92: Isolated Io Gnd

    Camera interfaces Isolated IO GND This connection provides the user ground reference and return path for the In 2, Out 3, and Out 4. It is also recommended that the ground wiring be physically close to the used In/Out to prevent parasitic coupling. For example, a good cable design would connect the required signal on one conductor of a twisted pair and the Isolated IO GND on the second conductor of the same twisted pair.
