    For desktop systems, use a PCI Express bus network interface card. For laptops, use an expansion slot via an ExpressCard®. A list of recommended network interface cards is available on the Allied Vision website. See the Hardware Selection for Allied Vision GigE Cameras application note.
  • Page 27: Connecting Your Camera

    Mako G cameras are offered with the following lens mounts: C-Mount (default), CS-Mount, or M12-Mount (S-Mount). Lenses can be purchased directly from Allied Vision or from an Allied Vision distribution partner. Users need to select the desired focal length of the lens and appropriate optical format for the target camera model.

  • Page 31: Applied Standards

    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 SFNC that standardizes feature names and types via an XML file or the transport layer interface (GenTL) that is used to grab images.
  • Page 32: Frame Memory

    Specifications Frame memory Normally, an image is captured and transported in consecutive steps. The image is taken, read out from the sensor, digitized and sent over the GigE network. Mako G cameras are equipped with an image buffer. Specifications tables for each camera show how many frames can be stored by each model.
  • Page 33: Absolute Qe Plots

    Specifications Absolute QE plots Before reading the QE plots • All measurements were done without optical filters. With optical filters, QE decreases by approximately 10 percent. • The uncertainty in measurement of the QE values is 10.25 percent. This is mainly due to uncertainties in the measuring apparatus itself (Ulbricht sphere, optometer).
