Refer to the Sapera Acquisition Parameters Reference Manual (OC-SAPM-APR00) for descriptions of the Sapera parameters.

  • Page 57: Shaft Encoder Interface Timing

    These trigger signals are used by the acquisition line scan camera. The Xtium-CL MX4 supports single or dual phase shaft encoder signals. Dual encoder signals are typically 90 degrees out of phase relative to each other and provide greater web motion resolution.

    The following provides additional details on the Metadata implementation. Metadata Data Structure The Xtium-CL MX4 supports metadata at the end of each line when enabled through the parameter CORACQ_PRM_META_DATA. The metadata consists of 64 bytes. The content of the metadata represents a snapshot of the state of the frame grabber at the beginning of each LVAL received.

  • Page 69: Flat Field Correction: Theory Of Operation

    The architecture of the Xtium-CL MX4 is such that the FFC/FLC data sets are independent of the host buffers. In automatic mode, the FFC/FLC sets are chosen in a round-robin fashion as images are acquired.
