Specifications Number of frames The number of frames ( ) depends on resolution, pixel StreamHoldCapacity format, and GVSP packet size. The stated number of frames is typical for full resolution, or Bayer8, and bytes per packet. Mono8 GevSCPSPacketSize 8192 Resolution and ROI frame rate ROI frame rate is listed after the specification table.
Specifications Sensor tap mode (CCD model series only) With dual-tap sensor mode you can achieve a higher frame rate than with one-tap mode. With one-tap sensor mode, you can achieve an image certain to be free of any tap-boundary artifacts. You can also use one-tap mode if you experience tap imbalance issues with your camera.

Camera interfaces Signal Description FrameTriggerReady Active when the camera is in a state that accepts the next frame trigger. FrameTrigger Active when an image has been initiated to start. This is a logic trigger internal to the camera, which is initiated by an external trigger or software trigger event.

Readout me Trigger latency Registered Exposure start delay exposure me User trigger Note: Ji er at the beginning Logic trigger of an exposure has no e ect on the length of exposure.
Camera interfaces Trigger definitions Term Definition User trigger Trigger signal applied by the user (hardware trigger, software trigger). Logic trigger Trigger signal seen by the camera internal logic (not visible to the user). Propagation delay (t ) between the user trigger and the logic trigger. Exposure time High when the camera image sensor is integrating light.
Page 202
Camera interfaces Triggering during the Readout State For applications requiring the fastest triggering cycle time whereby the camera image sensor is exposing and reading out simultaneously, then the user trigger signal should be applied as soon as a valid trigger ready is detected. In this case, trigger latency and trigger jitter can be up to one line time since exposure must always begin on an interline boundary.

Image data flow Color interpolation (Bayer demosaicing) The color sensors capture the color information via so-called primary color (R-G-B) filters placed over the individual pixels in a Bayer mosaic layout. An effective Bayer to RGB color interpolation already takes place in all Manta color version cameras. In color interpolation a red, green, or blue value is determined for each pixel.

Image data flow In color interpolation a red, green, or blue value is determined for each pixel (P1= first pixel; P2= second pixel). Only two lines are needed for this interpolation: Figure 126: Bayer demosaicing (interpolation) G1 G3 G1 G4 G2 G4 --------------------- - --------------------- -...
Read these instructions before you contact Allied Vision or your Allied Vision distribution partner for assistance. Contact Allied Vision or your Allied Vision distribution partner if you are not familiar with the procedures described in this chapter. Keep optical components clean The best way to ensure the camera remains clean is to avoid penetration of foreign substances into the camera.
Cleaning optical components Do not confuse this with a pixel defect which appears as a distinct point. Particles can either rest loosely or can be more or less stuck to the optical surface. Figure 129: Image with tiny dust on the filter (left) and dust on the sensor (right) Locating impurities Before you dismount the lens you must find out whether the impurity is on the filter, lens, or sensor.
NOTICE Removing IR cut filter or protection glass To remove IR cut filter or protection glass use the special tool (Allied Vision order code E9020001 for 16 mm filter and order code 3851 for 22 mm filter). Materials for cleaning optical components Use only these cleaning materials for optical components •...

(as described earlier). If you notice that the camera lens or sensor is not clean after attempting to clean twice, or if you have any questions regarding cleaning your camera, contact your Allied Vision distribution partner. Manta Technical Manual V8.0.1...

Cleaning optical components Cleaning with compressed air Allied Vision does not recommend cleaning Manta cameras with compressed air. Figure 130: Do not use compressed air NOTICE Possible material damage • Compressed air at high pressure and/or shorter operating distances may push dust into the camera or lens and physically damage the camera, sensor, or optical components.
