CV-LS Dashboard CV-LS Dashboard The CV-LS Dashboard Application has many features that can be used to control any CV-LS. Some advanced settings are currently available only through the web interface, which can be launched from the Dashboard. There are many features built into the Dashboard that are beyond the scope of this manual. Most are self-explanatory, while some may be covered in more detail in Webinars.
Page 52
CV-LS Dashboard Figure 3: Controls Docked in External Window Layouts can be saved and restored with options under the “Windows” menu, as well as reset to the default layout. Most window functions are available to all connection types, but some of the more advanced functions are available only over Ethernet connections.
CV-LS Dashboard Windows Menu The Windows Menu allows the user to open windows that are currently closed. This menu also allows the user to save / load / reset the interface. Figure 4: Window Menu Graphing functions are highly dependent on the speed of the computer being used. The default polling rate of graphs is 100Hz.
CV-LS Dashboard Connections The Connections section, which is specific to the Dashboard Application, is shown below in Figure 5. This section is used to connect the Dashboard to units, either over USB, UART, or Ethernet. If a unit is found on the network, its IP Address can be double-clicked to open the Web Interface for that unit.
CV-LS Dashboard Finder Requirements It is important to note that this method will only work if the following are true: 1) Broadcast UDP packets are allowed a) Some networks do not allow this. Check with your IT department to see if this is blocked. 2) Port 30303 is not blocked a) Firewalls will block the finder application.
CV-LS Dashboard System Status The System Status section shows live information about the unit. Item status is indicated by the following colors: Color Description Green Normal Operational Status. Yellow Warning range. Unit is still operating normally, but is near the Error threshold. Error Status.
Page 57
CV-LS Dashboard Control Name Description LED Temp Temperature of the LED. Normal Operational Range: 0 – 80C Warning Range: 80 – 90C Thermal Shutdown: 90C LED Status Green when temperature sensor is fully operational. Yellow when temperature is still accurate, but sensor is degraded. Red when temperature is no longer accurate.
CV-LS Dashboard Configurations (ADMIN Level) The Configurations section is used to modify the unit memory. Current settings can be saved / restored, or reset to factory defaults in this section. All settings can also be stored as a standard format INI file, and imported into other units.
CV-LS Dashboard Controls (USER Level) The Controls section contains all of the settings pertaining to how the LED operates. There are a few differences in how the Dashboard and Web Interface behave. When the Dashboard is only connected via USB or RS232, the Controls page is static. To see the settings currently in the unit, the user must click the “Refresh Page”...
CV-LS Dashboard LED Channel Settings The LED Channel Settings section controls the basic functionality of the LED. When operating in this mode, the unit behaves as a simple analog dimming light source. Figure 9: LED Channel Settings (Left: Dashboard, Right: Web Interface) Control Name Description Demo Mode...
Page 61
CV-LS Dashboard Control Name Description Output Power Options: On, Off This button controls the LED. This must be set to ON before the LED can turn on. When control is set to ON, the LED can still be off by using the shutdown pin on the Multiport connector.
CV-LS Dashboard Continuous Strobe In Continuous Strobe mode, the unit will generate a trigger source from its internal clock. This allows the user to set up a continuous strobe train to stop motion in machine vision applications. Note: Strobe intensity is set by the analog dimming level under the “LED Channel Settings” section. Figure 10: Continuous Strobe (Left: Dashboard, Right: Web Interface) Control Name Description...
Page 63
CV-LS Dashboard Below are two samples of Continuous Strobe trains. The LED output is detected on a reverse biased photodiode. In Figure 11 below, because the Waveform is set to “Active High”, the LED is ON for only 25% of the waveform. In Figure 12 below, the Waveform is set to “Active Low”, the LED is OFF for only 25% of the waveform.
CV-LS Dashboard Triggered Strobe In Triggered Strobe mode, the unit will wait for a user generated trigger signal on the digital pins of the multiport. This allows the user to set up a strobe train, synced with an external trigger source, to stop motion in machine vision applications.
Page 65
CV-LS Dashboard Control Name Description Triggered Strobe Options: Enable, Disable When this option, along with the Output Power, is enabled, the LED will strobe at the settings listed below. Combined Trigger Options: Enable, Disable When this option is enabled, the system will trigger a strobe on all channels when there is a signal on any of the four multi-port digital inputs.
CV-LS Dashboard Equalizer The CV-LS Equalizer is a closed loop controller using a small light tap off the led to control the source current and maintain a constant power output. This value is displayed as the “Light Feed Back” (LFB) in the Status section, and “Current Light Output”...
Page 67
CV-LS Dashboard Equalizer Key Points Using the equalizer has limitations, which should be understood before using it. First, the equalizer relies on the CLO, which is averaged over many milliseconds to maintain a steady control loop. Because of this, the equalizer may not perform well if used with strobe modes. Second, the equalizer needs enough room in the driver to increase or decrease the current with time to maintain the light output.
CV-LS Dashboard Fan Control The CV-LS has a variable speed fan to optimize fan noise versus cooling needs. The higher fan speeds allow for operating the LED at max intensity under warmer ambient temperature, but is much louder. The minimum fan speed still allows 70% light output at room temperature and is much quieter. The user can test the noise of the fan by changing the “Fan Control”...
CV-LS Dashboard Upgrade (ADMIN Level) The Upgrade sections allow the user to update to the latest firmware without sending the unit in under an RMA. Upgrading the firmware will not change any of the unit settings, or disrupt the settings stored at the factory.
CV-LS Dashboard Settings (ADMIN Level) The Settings section of the controls are static pages on all interfaces. Any changes that are made on this window must be saved to memory before they can be made live before they take effect. This is because the settings on this page require restarting core parts of the processor, and cannot be done without disrupting the connection to the user.
CV-LS Dashboard General The General section controls how users log into the device, and which interfaces are active. Figure 19: General (Left: Dashboard, Right: Web Interface) Control Name Description Login Time-Out Enable Options: Enable, Disable When enabled, the user will only stay logged in for a pre-set time before the unit will log them out.
CV-LS Dashboard Network The Network section allows the user to specify how the unit will connect to a network. By default the units have the following settings: Hostname: SCHOTT CV-LS DHCP: Enabled IP Address: 192.168.0.2 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 ...

CV-LS Dashboard Figure 20: Network (Left: Dashboard, Right: Web Interface) Control Name Description Hostname The name that will display in the finder application. Used to easily identify multiple units on the same network. DHCP Options: Enable, Disable When enabled, the unit will first request network information from the local DHCP server.
CV-LS Dashboard Sockets The sockets are used to communicate with the unit over the network programmatically. The Legacy Socket is a standard text based telnet socket, and uses the same command structure as the UART and USB interfaces. The Binary Ethernet Socket is a new interface based on a binary protocol with packets and error checksums.
CV-LS Dashboard UART The UART settings allow the user to change the communications protocol of the Legacy UART pins in the Multiport. The default settings are the most common UART port and should only be changed if the user has purposely changed the settings in their command terminal.
