Line Source Clear Source : Indicates default values for each selector. Camera Output Formats The GO-5100MP-PGE supports the following output formats. PixelFormat Mono8, Mono10, Mono10packed *1) Mono12, Mono12Packed *1) When VideoProcessBypassMode is enabled, PixelFormat can be set to Mono12 or Mono12Packed.
GO-5100MP-PGE Camera Image Output Modes The GO-5100MP-PGE has two output modes(Raw Image mode, Polarize Angle And Degree mode). First, we will explain about the monochrome CMOS image sensor with a four-directional polarization square pixel array that is incorporated in this camera.
Page 25
GO-5100MP-PGE ■ Polarize Angle And Degree mode This mode calculates Polarize Angle and Polarize Degree in real time and outputs data. Polarize Angle : The polarization angle producing the greatest luminance for a given pixel block. (also referred to as AoLP: The Angle of Linear Polarization) Intensity values assigned to pixels represent angles from 0 to 180˚.
GO-5100MP-PGE Binning Function The binning function allows you to combine the signal values of clusters of adjacent pixels to create improved virtual pixels. Using the function results in images with lower pixel resolution and higher sensitivity. This camera performs both horizontal binning and vertical binning via digital addition or averaging processing.
Page 27
GO-5100MP-PGE The image data output from this camera becomes RawImage with 2464 pixels (horizontally) x 1028 lines (vertically). 2464 pixels ■ When horizontal and vertical binning (2x2) The signal values of the pixels having polarizers at the same angle are combined.
GO-5100MP-PGE ROI (Regional Scanning Function) The ROI (region of interest) function allows you to output images by specifying the areas to scan. *) This function works Raw Image mode only. ROI Settings Specify the area to scan by specifying width, height, and horizontal/vertical offset values under [ImageFormatControl].
GO-5100MP-PGE Image Acquisition Controls Perform operations and configure settings related to image acquisition in [AcquisitionControl]. The following acquisition modes are available on the camera. AcquisitionMode Description SingleFrame Acquire a single frame when the [AcquisitionStart] command is executed. MultiFrame Acquire the number of frames specified in [AcquisitionFrameCount] when the [AcquisitionStart] command is executed.

GO-5100MP-PGE Gain Control Adjust the [AnalogAll] (master gain) setting. Analog All x 16 24dB x 1.0 LineStatus The line status function allows you to verify the status of external input/output signals. You can verify the status of the following signals.
GO-5100MP-PGE Blemish Compensation Multiple defective pixels that are not adjacent to each other can occur on conventional CMOS sensor cameras. This camera features a function that interpolates defective pixels using the surrounding pixels. Up to 256 pixels can be corrected for each of the three sensors. Pixel interpolation can be performed via automatic detection or point-by-point manual settings.
GO-5100MP-PGE Shading Correction The shading correction is a function that corrects non-uniformity (i.e., shading) in the amount of light generated by the lens and lighting equipment. Using this function allows correction even if top, bottom, left, and right shading is not symmetrical in relation to the center of the screen (H, V).

GO-5100MP-PGE ■ To use the shading correction function Configure the settings as follows. Item Setting value Description ShadingCorrectionMode FlatShading Select the shading correction mode. ShadingMode User1, User2, User3, Off Select the user area to which to save the shading correction value.
GO-5100MP-PGE Delayed Readout Delayed readout allows images captured by a [FrameStart] trigger command to be stored temporarily inside the camera (delayed readout buffer) and read out using a [AcquisitionTransferStart] trigger after capture.This function is useful when executing triggers simultaneously on multiple cameras.
GO-5100MP-PGE CounterAndTimerControl Function The counter function counts up change points in the camera’s internal signals using the camera’s internal counter, and reads that information from the host side. This function is useful for verifying error conditions via the count value using internal camera operations.Counting is performed at frame trigger, frame start, exposure start, and exposure...
