WA-1000D-CL Usage Precautions Notes on cable configurations The presence of lighting equipment and television receivers nearby may result in video and audio noise. In such cases, change the cable configurations or placement. Notes on attaching the lens Avoiding dust particles When attaching the lens to the camera, stray dust and other particles may adhere to the sensor surface and rear surface of the lens.
WA-1000D-CL Features The WA-1000D-CL is a dual-band line scan camera that uses a prism and a combination of bandpass filters to divide incoming light by wavelength and direct it to two separate InGaAs linear image sensors. Wavelengths captured are in the NIR and SWIR spectral ranges spanning from approximately 900 nm to 1700 nm and are output in two video channels (ch1/ch2) via the Camera Link interface.

WA-1000D-CL v Clear the [JAI GigE Vision Filter Driver] checkbox, and save. Verify the settings for using Camera Link. The GO-1000D-CL supports GenIcam and Gen-CP. Check the following settings when controlling the camera via JAI SDK. Checking the frame grabber board’s settings Settings must be configured on the frame grabber board to enable Gen-CP support.
WA-1000D-CL v Check that the [JAI_GenCP_Camera_Link] and [Camera Link Transport Layer] settings are configured as follows. Step 2: Connecting Devices Connect the lens, Camera Link cable, AC adapter, and other necessary devices. Attach the lens in a clean environment to prevent dust from adhering to the unit.

WA-1000D-CL Set [Exposure Mode] to [Trigger Width] . When you select [Trigger Width], [Trigger Mode] will automatically be set to [On]. Set [Trigger Selector] to [Line Start]. ([Line Start] is the default setting.) If necessary, change the [Trigger Source] and [Trigger Activation] settings.
WA-1000D-CL Step 5: Adjusting the Image Quality To maximize the performance of the camera, configure its basic function in the following order. Configure the line rate (exposure time and shutter). ❖ For details on this setting, “Variable Line Rate” (page 33) and “Electronic Shutter” (page 34).
