1 General 1.1 RoHS Compliance CamPerform Cyclone-5-700-M/C cameras are Pb free manufactured. 1.2 Standards The camera has been developed according to following standards: • CoaXPress Standard Version 2.0 - JIIA CXP-001-2019 1.3 Remarks The following signs are used in this user manual to highlight some information: Remarks and additional information.
Operation, amb., with CY-FAN • 0 .. +70°C / 32 .. 158°F Operation, case temperature Optronis does not guaranty camera operation beyond above conditions and camera lifetime might be reduced. 2.1.2 Camera Handling Please be careful when using camera. Pay attention especially to: Camera power Please be careful when powering camera.
2.2 Setting Up System 2.2.1 CoaXPress Standard Overview CoaXPress is an interface to connect Devices (typically cameras) to Hosts (typically frame grabbers). It combines the simplicity of coaxial cable with state-of-the-art high-speed serial data technology, allowing up to 12.5 Gbps data rate per cable, plus device control and power in the same cable.
2.2.2 Typical System Configuration A typical system with Optronis CoaXPress camera is composed of: • An Optronis CoaXPress camera • CoaXPress cables • An acquisition and control system (a CoaXPress Frame Grabber in a PC) • A Control Software based on Frame Grabber features •...
2.3 About Lenses 2.3.1 Lens handling Please be careful when installing or removing camera lens. Depending on your lens mount type and lens, pay attention to following points: • If your lens has a mounting mark, first align lens-holder and lens mounting marks and then rotate anti- clockwise to lock the lens.

Power connector is used to power camera when using an external power supply instead of power over CoaXPress feature (PoCXP). The connector is labelled “Power”. Optronis Camera accessory “Power supply” is recommended when using an external power supply. Alternatively, your power supply must respect bellow characteristics: -14-...
Auxiliary Connector Auxiliary connector is used to access camera Sync In and Sync Out IOs and for firmware updates. The connector is labelled “Aux.”. Camera accessory “Pigtail cable” gives user 50-ohm BNC connectors to access Sync IN and Sync Out signals. Camera accessory “Programming cable”...
At high impedance termination, the driver voltage is in between 0 (low level) to ~4 Volts (high level). Figure 11: Sync Out Output Schematics Fan Connector Coaxial Fan connector can be used to power Optronis optional external fan. It can also be used to power your own cooling solution.

4 Camera Control Interface Camera is controlled through a standard GenICam XML file. For DeviceControl, TransportLayerControl, Support and CXP sections, please refer to the CoaxPress Version 2.0 specification. 4.1 ImageFormatControl Xml entry Name Description Address WidthMax Maximum width (in pixels) of the image. The dimension is calculated after horizontal binning, decimation or any other function changing the horizontal dimension of the image.
CoaXPress standard allows Frame Grabber synchronizing camera frame generation using specific packets called trigger packets sent on “CoaXPress uplink”. 4.3 Optronis Xml entry Name Description Address IndicatorLamps Enables or disables indicator lamps. EnableFan Enables or disables camera Fan power output.

4.3.2 Line Skipping If available, Line skipping feature allows to transfer only even lines and thus to increase frame transfer speed while keeping the same field of view. When using dual ROI mode, you can enable line skipping only in one ROI or in both ROIs. To enable line skipping: Stop acquisition Set frame / ROI parameters...
correct a pixel, a valid X coordinate must be set in one of DefectPixelX0..X7 entry (valid values are 0 .. image_width). X and Y coordinate are absolute and based on full image size even if a smaller ROI is used. To save current correction values (i.e.

Camera is measuring CXP trigger packets (rising edge packets) period and compare it to a reference period set by user.
5 Firmware Update Camera firmware update is available through camera Aux connector by using the camera accessory “Programming cable”. This cable allows an USB connection to a PC and must be used together with Optronis Windows update software “UCXP_flash.exe”. Before updating camera firmware, please check product website page (download tab) to be sure that you have: •...
