Page 16: Precautions
Install & Configure Frame Grabber & Software Because of the high bandwidth required by these cameras, we recommend a compatible Teledyne DALSA frame grabbers (part number (OR-A8S0-FX840 or OR-A8S0-PX870), or equivalent, described in detail on the teledynedalsa.com site, here. The frame grabber requirements for the 8K and 16K camera differ. - Page 17 An important component of CamExpert is its live acquisition display window. This window allows the user to verify the timing or control parameters in real-time, without needing to run a separate acquisition program. To control the camera and frame grabber settings, the user must open two applications of CamExpert—one app is used to control the frame grabber features and as a display window.

Note: If your power supply does not meet these requirements, then the camera performance specifications are not guaranteed. Power and GPIO Connections The camera uses a single 12-pin Hirose male connector for power, trigger, and strobe signals. The suggested female cable mating connector is the Hirose model HR10A-10P-12S. 12-Pin Hirose Connector Signal Details The following figure shows the pinout identification when looking at the camera’s 12-pin male Hirose connector. - Page 22 Mating GPIO Cable Assembly Teledyne DALSA makes available for purchase an optional GPIO breakout cable (12-pin Female Hirose to 13-Pos Euro Block), as shown in the following drawing.

Page 28: Spatial Correction
Spatial Correction Spatial correction is necessary when using HDR or high full well modes. For single array TDI operation this functionality is not needed and is disabled. To achieve a sharp image in the vertical direction when running the camera in HDR mode, it is important that the lines being used are aligned correctly. -

as per the inspection system, including lens magnification, aperture, and illumination intensity, spectral content, plus illuminator beam structure.

Image Filters Related Features: imageFilterMode, imageFilterType, imageFilterKernalSize, imageFilterContrastRatio The camera has a selection of image filters that can be used to reduce image noise. Use the feature imageFilterMode to turn the filtering on or off. -
Page 36: Using Area Of Interest (Aois)
In certain applications, lower image resolution may be acceptable if the desired defect detection can still be achieved. This accommodation can result in higher scan speeds, as the effective distance travelled per encoder pulse is increased due to the larger object pixel size. The camera has a binning feature that produces rapid adjustment to a lower object pixel resolution without having to change the optics, illumination intensity, or encoder pulse resolution. -
Page 37: Steps To Setup Area Of Interest
Eliminating unwanted image data that is visible in the camera’s field of view reduces the amount of information the host computer needs to process. This may result in an increase to the maximum allowable line rate when using 12-bit output data. The camera can accommodate up to four AOIs. -

Related Features: Gain Selector, Gain, Offset It is best for camera performance to always use the maximum exposure time possible based on the maximum line rate of the inspection system and any margin that may be required to accommodate illumination degradation. -
Page 40: Changing Output Configuration
When an image contains no useful dark image data below a specific threshold, then it may be beneficial to increase the contrast of the image. The camera has an offset feature that allows a specified level to be subtracted from the image data. -
Page 41: Active Settings For Current Operation
The camera includes 16 user sets where camera setup information can be saved to and restored from—either at power up, or dynamically during inspection. The settings active during the current operation can be saved (and thereby become the user setting) using the user set save feature. A previously saved user setting (User Set 1 to 16) or the factory settings can be restored using the user set selector and user set load features. -
Page 42: User Setting
To save these settings so that they can be restored next time you power up the camera, or to protect against losing them in the case of power loss, you must save the current settings using the user set save parameter. Once saved, the current settings become the selected user set. User Setting The user setting is the saved set of camera configurations that you can customize, resave, and restore. -

Page 68: Resolving Camera Issues
Resolving Camera Issues Communications No Camera Features when Starting CamExpert If the camera’s CamExpert GUI is opened and no features are listed, then the camera may be experiencing lane lock issues. While using the frame grabber CamExpert GUI you should be able to see a row of status indicators below the image area that indicates the status of the CLHS communications. - Page 69 for imperfections such as dust, scratches, paper grain, etc. in the white reference. Once the white reference is removed and the camera images the material to be inspected, any white reference imperfections will appear as vertical stripes in the image. If the white reference had imperfections that caused dark features, there will be a bright vertical line during normal imaging.
- Page 70 Any transport motion that is not correctly reflected in the EXSYNC pulses will cause image distortion in the scan direction. For standard line scan cameras, this type of image distortion may not greatly affect edge sharpness and small defect contrast; thereby having minimal impact on defect detection.

Page 71: Power Supply Issues
The greater the speed variation, the lower the target speed needs to be to avoid over-speed conditions. If the speed variation can be reduced by eliminating the backlash in the transport mechanism and / or optimizing the motor controller characteristics, then a higher target speed will be achievable. -
Page 72: Causes For Overheating & Power Shut Down
Causes for Overheating & Power Shut Down For reliable operation, the camera’s face plate temperature should be kept below +65 °C and the internal temperature kept below +70 °C. Many applications, such as in clean rooms, cannot tolerate the use of forced air cooling (fans) and therefore must rely on convection. - Page 73 Declaration of Conformity Declaration of Conformity...
