    3. Installation and Use 3.1. Setup Guide The installation of Daheng Imaging Camera Software Suite is very simple, but you have to take attention to the following matters. The path of installation can only be ASCII characters; otherwise you will not start the applications successfully.
  • Page 29: Image Acquisition Control

    4.Image Acquisition Control 4. Image Acquisition Control 4.1. Exposure 4.1.1. Exposure Mode Mercury series camera has two exposure modes: CCD cameras: Global shutter; CMOS cameras: the MER-040-60Ux camera is global shutter, and the others are electronic rolling shutter; Global shutter means that all the lines in the sensor are exposed at the same time. The high frame rate of up to 60fps allows the Mer-040-60Ux camera to be more suitable for moving objects and not to produce shadows.
  • Page 30: Auto Exposure

    4.Image Acquisition Control 4.1.3. Auto Exposure The MER series camera is designed for the industrial applications, designed for automatic exposure control, which can be adapted to different light variations without human intervention. The user can choose the operating environment according to the surrounding environment, and sets the Maximum & Minimum values of the adjustment, and ExpectedGrayValue, which can be automatically adjusted.

    4.Image Acquisition Control 4.5. Black Level The MER series USB interface camera is all with black level adjustable function. When the user needs to adjust the black level manually, he should disable the automatic black level calibration function, otherwise the camera may adjust it automatically. For CMOS cameras, if the automatic black level calibration function is disabled, some problems will appear in some situations, especially when using the Mono cameras, some fine grid will appear in the image.

    4.Image Acquisition Control 4.8.3. Connection Method of Cables The MERCURY USB interface cameras have two types of trigger signals, one is positive voltage drive signal and the other is negative voltage drive signal. Both the High and the Low which are described in the software interface function and the demo, are based on positive voltage drive.
