  • Page 30: Details Of Camera Control

    Monochrome Field Update Line Scan Camera Link Series 6. Details of Camera Control 6.1 Field Flat Correction (FFC) Field Flat Correction (FFC) is used for correcting non-uniformity image brightness caused by the lens of the imager. When using this camera, FFC should be used to help correct fixed pattern noise on the imager. 6.1.1 Summary of FFC When using FFC, the gain and offset are added to each pixel.
  • Page 31: Auto Ffc Procedure

    Monochrome Field Update Line Scan Camera Link Series 6.1.3 Auto FFC Procedure After the target gain and offset levels have been set, the camera will correct the gain and offset value automatically under the calibration setting. The user has to set the FFC under their personal conditions. If the wrong procedure is executed, the correction can be recovered from the beginning.
  • Page 32 Monochrome Field Update Line Scan Camera Link Series 7) Set [Target FFC Gain] level [88h: 200] Configurable range is 0 to 255. The value should be ten steps larger than the brightest level on the video image. A brighter video value than the target gain level outputs the data without correction. Initial [Target FFC Gain] level is 200.
  • Page 33 Monochrome Field Update Line Scan Camera Link Series If the user is using “Auto Target”, please continue in the following steps. 11) Set the Target Offset level for gain [88h: recommendation 20] Set the value from the range 0 to 255 (8bit) To determine the target level automatically, offset level has to be set.
  • Page 34: Manual Ffc Procedure

    Monochrome Field Update Line Scan Camera Link Series 6.1.4 Manual FFC Procedure The Manual [FFC Mode] can correct specific pixel addresses and correct all pixels of the same value. When dust creates a gap in the calibration object after Auto on [FFC Mode], the user can revise the value of the specific pixel address.
