Page 175: Filters
Filters and mounts Filters General terms explained In general, five types of filters are used to filter visible and invisible light waves of various frequencies. • Bandpass filter: a bandpass filter is translucent for a certain frequency range, rejecting all frequencies above and below the defined range. •...
Page 176 Filters and mounts Stopband The stopband is the range of wavelengths over which unwanted signals are attenuated. Bandpass filters have two stopbands, one above and one below the passband. As a rule, the end of the stopbands is not precisely defined. Figure 49: Example of a response curve of a bandpass water filter CWL (=central wave length) The wavelength at the center of the filter’s passband.
Page 177 Filters and mounts Peak Transmittance Also referred to as filter Transmission Rate. The peak transmittance describes the maximum amount of light that a filter allows to pass. No filter allows 100 percent of the light to pass, however, good quality filters allow more light to pass through, thus their transmission rate is closer to 100 percent.

Page 192 Camera interfaces Line Valid (LVAL) The synchronization signal LVAL is used to indicate a line transfer phase within the current frame transfer. When rising, it indicates the start of a new line transfer phase. When falling, it indicates the end of the line transfer phase. The LVAL signal is valid only while FVAL is high.
Page 193 Camera interfaces The length of this gap is controlled by the parameter and ClLValToLValDelay is given in clock cycles. If the value of the parameter is set too small, the camera ClLValToLValDelay may not be able to provide the data fast enough. If this happens, the camera automatically extends the gap.

The features of the individual modules are described in detail on the following pages. Note that, depending on firmware version, not all of the modules and features shown in Figure 66 are available.
Page 215: Image Corrections
Image data flow Image corrections The corrections applied to the image are of special relevance within the Goldeye camera. They are applied by the following modules. • Non-uniformity correction (NUC) • Background correction (BC) • Defect pixel correction (DPC) The corrections need special correction data that must be provided prior to operating the image processing chain.
Page 216: Background Correction
Image data flow These conditions need corresponding correction data for best correction quality. Thus, the camera contains several data sets for a range of conditions. Because each correction data set is applicable under certain conditions only, the relevant conditions are stored with the data set. An automated data set selection feature keeps track of the conditions.

Temperature control CAUTION Risk of burns The camera housing may heat up during operation. Touching the camera with bare hands may lead to injuries. Wear protective gloves when touching a heated-up camera during operation. Also, use proper heat dissipation methods to keep the camera as cool as possible. Influence of temperature on the sensor During operation, power consumed and dissipated by the internal electronic components causes the interior and case of the camera to heat up.
Page 229: Control Of The Sensor Temperature
Up to four heat sinks can be fitted to one camera. The heat sink set is available from Allied Vision, product code 1068300. Application note: Usage of Heat Sinks with Goldeye Cameras This application note explains the handling of heat sinks with Goldeye cameras and lists additional methods to improve camera cooling.
Page 230: Passive Camera Cooling
Temperature control In addition to temperature stabilization, Goldeye Cool cameras are equipped with a fan to actively dissipate the heat that builds up internally. Note that the housing size design is independent from the implemented thermo-electric cooling. A Cool model does not necessarily have a two-stage TEC. Neutralization of the temperature influence on page 232 for a detailed explanation.
Page 231 Temperature control Activating the heating functionality of the G-008 After activating the heating functionality of the Goldeye G-008, switching down to a setpoint below the selected setpoint is disabled. The ability to switch to a higher setpoint depends on the feature: SensorTemperatureSetpointMode •...
Page 232: Neutralization Of The Temperature Influence
Temperature control Neutralization of the temperature influence To control the temperature influence on the non-uniformity, the TEC element keeps the sensor temperature at predefined setpoints, preferably the default setpoint. Temperature setpoints A set of correction data is applied to the output signal. This correction data set is predetermined for each camera individually and is optimized for the default temperature setpoint.
Page 233 Temperature control Achievable temperature difference The cooling power and heat dissipation capability of the Goldeye is limited. Therefore, the temperature difference (ΔT) achievable by the TEC is limited as well. However, the TEC is capable of achieving a minimum ΔT in all situations. Table 143 displays the achievable ΔT maintained, and the power consumption necessary to achieve that, for each Goldeye TEC model.
Page 234: Switching Temperature Setpoints
Temperature control Temperature measurement To control and regulate the internal camera temperature, three temperature sensors are available within the camera. Use the DeviceTemperatureSelector feature to select a temperature sensor, as listed in Table 144. The temperature of the selected sensor is displayed with the feature.
Page 235 Temperature control If the case temperature keeps rising, the difference between sensor- and case temperature exceeds the predefined ΔT. The temperature control is no longer able to keep the sensor temperature at the current setpoint. The TEC switches up to the next higher setpoint.
Page 236 Temperature control Switching to the lower setpoint When the ambient temperature decreases, this causes the temperature of the camera to decrease as well. With further temperature decrease, the sensor temperature can fall below the current setpoint temperature. The TEC might be no longer required to cool the sensor to the adjusted temperature setpoint.
Page 237: Temperature Setpoint Settling Time
Temperature control If required to keep the sensor temperature stable, the TEC automatically switches from heating to cooling, or vice versa. Case temperature Sensor temperature Setpoint 1 Setpoint 2 (Default) Setpoint 3 Setpoint 4 TEC switching point Time Figure 74: Schematic figure of TEC heating and cooling During operation, as long as the TEC does not actively cool the sensor, the sensor temperature usually is higher than the case temperature.
