However, in the horizontal direction, the horizontal frequency is not changed if the width is decreased. In the GO-5000M-PMCL, the minimum width is “2” to “8” depending on the tap geometry and minimum height is “1”. In the GO-5000C-PMCL, the minimum width is the same as GO-5000-PMCL but minimum height is “2”.
GO-5000M-PMCL / GO-5000C-PMCL Operating modes 8.1. Acquisition control (change the frame rate) 8.1.1 Acquisition control With Trigger OFF (free running mode – see section 7.2.1), the default frame rate of the camera is based on the specified ROI. The smaller the ROI, the faster the default frame rate. However, it is possible to specify a free-running frame rate (i.e., no trigger needed) that is slower than the default rate.

GO-5000M-PMCL / GO-5000C-PMCL 8.3.4 TriggerActivation This command can select how to activate the trigger. Rising edge: At the rising edge of the pulse, the trigger is activated. Falling edge: At the falling edge of the pulse, the trigger is activated.
GO-5000M-PMCL / GO-5000C-PMCL Trigger width mode (PWC) In this mode, the exposure time is equal to the trigger pulse width. Accordingly, longer exposure times are supported. Additional settings determine if the trigger pulse can be accepted during the exposure period.
GO-5000M-PMCL / GO-5000C-PMCL 8.7. RCT mode Until the trigger is input, the camera operates continuously and can use auto-gain, if necessary, to control the exposure setting. During this time, FVAL and LVAL are output but DVAL is not output. When the trigger is input, the fast dump is activated to read out the electronic charge very quickly, after which the accumulation and the readout are performed.

This function can be used to convert the input to the desired output characteristics. The Lookup Table (LUT) has 32 points for setup in the monochrome model (GO-5000M-PMCL) and 16 points for setup in the color model (GO-5000C-PMCL). The output level is created by applying gain to the input level to achieve the specified output level.
GO-5000M-PMCL / GO-5000C-PMCL 9.3.3 LUT Value This is the “adjusted” or “output” pixel value for a given LUT index. It has range of 0 to 4095 (12-bits) and is automatically scaled to the bit depth of the current output mode (8-bit, 10-bit, or 12-bit).
Fig.31 Concept drawing of flat shading correction Color shading correction (For GO-5000C-PMCL only): In this case, R channel and B channel are adjusted to match with G channel characteristics. The block grid for compensation is 20 (H) x 16(V) and each block contains 128 x 128 pixels. The complementary process is applied to produce the compensation data with less error.
Pixels that fulfill the blemish criteria can be compensated by averaging the data from the pixel in the left adjacent column and, in the case of the GO-5000C-PMCL, the defective pixels can be compensated by averaging the data from the same Bayer color pixel in left adjacent column.
GO-5000M-PMCL / GO-5000C-PMCL In the GO-5000-PMCL, auto gain and auto exposure can be combined to provide a wide ranging automatic exposure control from dark to bright or vice versa. The functions are applied in the sequence shown below and if one function is disabled, the remaining function will work independently.
2. The frame grabber used must be compliant with Camera Link Specification v1.1 or greater in order to communicate with the JAI SDK and Control Tool. If it is not, the JAI SDK and Control Tool cannot be used, and the Short ASCII communication protocol and associated control tool should be used instead.
