Teledyne DALSA assumes no responsibility for the user’s failure to comply with these requirements. Warning: The product, when installed, is subject to exposure from X-rays during operation.
Stacking Teledyne DALSA does not recommend that the user stack the product or use it in adjacent to other equipment. If this arrangement is unavoidable, then the (End-)user must ensure that there is adequate airflow around the detector and that normal operation conditions are maintained.

(which is 125mW). In this case the dissipation is 110mW. By adding external series resistor the external voltage can be increased. The forward current for the trigger input to the detector may not exceed 13mA. Rad-icon 2329 GigE Detector Teledyne DALSA...

2329 detector. A NIC with Jumbo packet support up to 9014 bytes is required to receive streaming video, preferably with a PCI Express slot. Teledyne DALSA advises to use the Intel Gigabit CT adapter Network Interface Card (NIC) which is a low cost but high performance and reliable adapter with a PCI Express slot.
Check the CD that shipped with your detector for installation files for CamExpert, the GigE driver and/or the ShadoCam software. To obtain the latest versions, or software for a newer operation system, it may be necessary to go to the Teledyne DALSA website for the latest updates.
Some system and network card configurations may have difficulty streaming and handling jumbo packet data. If the system is having issues than it is advisable to disable the Jumbo Packet setting, and use standard size packets of 1500 bytes for your application.

2. Disable interrupt moderation to favor responsiveness of real-time system with a drawback in CPU usage. In most situations, extra latency introduced by interrupt moderation is very low and thus the gain on CPU performance becomes more beneficial.

Again, by combining network equipment that can operate at wire-speed and allocating a different network interface port for each detector in the system, we can ensure these pause requests will not be used. Teledyne DALSA Rad-icon 2329 GigE Detector...
These settings can be changed by the Network Configuration which is included in the GigE Vision framework The user can also view the detector and the host system IP addresses in this window. Rad-icon 2329 GigE Detector Teledyne DALSA...
If initialization time is critical one may choose to enable Teledyne Dalsa DHCP Server on the NIC the detector is connected to or choose for Persistent IP on the detector. This will shorten the initialization time with approx. 15 sec.
Click the Grab button. The detector is now armed and ready to acquire images in continuous mode. To stop a Grab process the user must press the Freeze button. After the Freeze button is pressed the detector ignores any additional triggers and no additional images are acquired. Rad-icon 2329 GigE Detector Teledyne DALSA...
User Manual, Rev 01 Operational reference Using CamExpert with Rad-icon 2329 Detector The Sapera CamExpert tool is the interfacing tool for GigE Vision detectors and cameras, and is supported by the Sapera library and hardware. When used with a Rad-icon detector, CamExpert allows a user to test most of the operating modes.

There should be enough pause for the detector to process the last frame from the previous operation. The pause duration required could be up to 500ms during summing modes. Please consult Teledyne Dalsa for more details on read out and trigger mode changing on the fly.
This read out method is called “butterfly read out”. The read out time in full resolution is 125msec. In 2x2 binning mode and 1x2 binning mode the read out time is reduced by a factor of 2, thus 62.5msec. Teledyne DALSA Rad-icon 2329 GigE Detector...

To allow sufficient time for the sensor reset, the delay between rising edge of the trigger input and when the detector is exposed to x-ray should equal or higher to the reset or read out time (125ms) of the sensor. Rad-icon 2329 GigE Detector Teledyne DALSA...

(reset) is initiated. When the dummy read is finished, trigger out will be active. The integration time is programmed by the Extended Exposure setting. When the integration-timer is finished, trigger out will become inactive and the detector read out starts. See figure below. Teledyne DALSA Rad-icon 2329 GigE Detector...

X-rays hit sensitive detector electronics. Although the sensor assembly of the Rad-icon 2329 detector is a fully closed housing, the incident X-ray beam needs to be collimated just above the sensor in such a way that only the active area of the detector as depicted in the figure below incident to the x-ray beam.
