Camera Link pixel clock frequency In the GO-5000M-PMCL-UV, the Camera Link pixel clock can be selected from 84.99 MHz, 72.85 MHz, 58.28 MHz, and 48.57 MHz. If the 48.57MHz clock is used, the transfer length through the camera link cable will be extended to 10m for all tap geometries. On the other hand, the frame rate will be reduced (see table).
GO-5000M-PMCL-UV Digital IN/OUT interface In the GO-5000M-PMCL-UV, the software control tool can assign the necessary signals used in the system to digital inputs and outputs. Line Selector In the Line Selector, the following input and output signals can be assigned.
Page 20
GO-5000M-PMCL-UV GPIO GPIO is a general interface for input and output which controls the I/O for trigger signals and other valid signals and pulse generators. By using this interface you can control an external light source, make a delay function for an external trigger signal, or make a precise exposure setting together with a PWC trigger.
GO-5000M-PMCL-UV Pulse Generator The GO-5000M-PMCL-UV has a frequency divider using the sensor clock as the basic clock and one pulse generator. In the Pulse Generator, various Clear settings are connected to GPIO. The following shows the Pulse Generator default settings. In the GO-5000M-PMCL-UV, the sensor pixel clock is 36 MHz for 8-bit, 28.8MHZ for 10-bit and 24 MHZ for 12-bit.
Page 22
GO-5000M-PMCL-UV Pulse Generator Length Set the counter up value for the pulse generator. If Repeat Count value is “0” and if Pulse Generator Clear signal is not input, the pulse generator generates the pulse repeatedly until reaching this counter up value.
Page 23
GO-5000M-PMCL-UV Pulse Generator Clear Source The following clear source can be selected as the pulse generator clear signal. Pulse Generator Inverter Clear Source Signal can have polarity inverted. Pulse Generator Setting table Note: 1. If Pulse Generator Repeat Count is set to “0”, the pulse generator works in free- running mode.
GO-5000M-PMCL-UV Sensor layout The CMOS sensors used in the GO-5000M-PMCL-UV have the following tap and pixel layout. Camera output format (Tap Geometry) 1X2–1Y 1X2–1Y is a 2-tap readout system specified in GenICam Tap Geometry and it outputs as the following.
Page 25
GO-5000M-PMCL-UV 1X3–1Y 1X3–1Y is a 3-tap readout system specified in GenICam Tap Geometry. 1X4–1Y 1X4–1Y is a 4-tap readout system specified in GenICam Tap Geometry. — 25 —...

GO-5000M-PMCL-UV 1X8–1Y 1X8–1Y is an 8-tap readout system and outputs as follows. — 26 —...
GO-5000M-PMCL-UV Output timing(Vertical) The below figure shows the vertical timing of Camera Link output during continuous trigger operation. However, with 1X8-1Y 10-bit geometry, which is 80-bit configuration, DVAL and Exposure Active, which are normally output to Camera Link spare bits, are not output through the Camera Link interface as data bits are applied to those bits.
ROI (Region Of Interest) setting In the GO-5000M-PMCL-UV, a subset of the image can be output by setting Width, Height, Offset- X, and Offset-Y. If the height is decreased, the number of lines read out is decreased and as the result, the frame rate is increased.
GO-5000M-PMCL-UV Acquisition control With Trigger OFF (free running mode), the default frame rate of the camera is based on the specified ROI. The smaller the ROI, the faster the default frame rate. However, it is possible to specify a free-running frame rate (i.e., no trigger needed) that is slower than the default rate.
If the trigger is used, it uses “Frame Start”. The procedure is; 1. Select “Frame Start” in “Trigger Selector” Note: In the GO-5000M-PMCL-UV, only “Frame Start” is available. 2. Select “Timed” or “Trigger Width” in “Exposure Mode”. 3. Set “ON” in “Trigger Mode”.
Page 38
Maximum: 8 seconds (Note – noise may make image unusable after 1 second) ExposureAuto This is a function to control the exposure automatically. It is effective only for Timed. JAI ALC Reference controls the brightness. There are two modes, OFF and Continuous.
The following 5 types of Trigger Control are available by the combination of Trigger Selector, Trigger Mode, Exposure Mode and Trigger Option. Trigger Selector Selects the trigger operation. In the GO-5000M-PMCL-UV, only Frame Start is available. Trigger Mode Selects the trigger operation. In the GO-5000M-PMCL-UV, only Frame Start is available.
GO-5000M-PMCL-UV Trigger Activation This command can select how to activate the trigger. Rising edge: At the rising edge of the pulse, the trigger is activated. Falling edge: At the falling edge of the pulse, the trigger is activated. Level High:...
GO-5000M-PMCL-UV Timed mode This mode captures image(s) with a preset exposure time by using the external trigger. An additional setting determines if the trigger pulse can be accepted during the exposure period. Primary settings to use this mode Acquisition Mode = Single frame, Multi-frame or Continuous...
GO-5000M-PMCL-UV Trigger width mode In this mode, the exposure time is equal to the trigger pulse width. Accordingly, longer exposure times are supported. Additional settings determine if the trigger pulse can be accepted during the exposure period. Primary settings to use this mode...
GO-5000M-PMCL-UV RCT mode Until the trigger is input, the camera operates continuously and can use auto-gain, if necessary, to control the exposure setting. During this time, FVAL and LVAL are output but DVAL is not output. When the trigger is input, the fast dump is activated to read out the electronic charge very quickly, after which the accumulation and the readout are performed.
Page 44
GO-5000M-PMCL-UV RCT mode together with ALC function RCT mode can use ALC control to ensure that the proper exposure is set when the trigger pulse is input. In this case, the following settings are additionally required to RCT mode settings.
This is a function to capture images in sequence based on preset ROI, Exposure Time, Gain and other parameters in the sequence index table. To use sequence mode, Video Send Mode must be set to “Command Sequence.” In the GO-5000M-PMCL-UV, this is the only sequence mode available.

GO-5000M-PMCL-UV Multi ROI function This function divides one frame image into a maximum of 5 images vertically and reads out all areas in one frame. In this function, width is the same for all 5 images. In the GO-5000M-PMCL- UV, image overlapping is not possible.
Page 48
GO-5000M-PMCL-UV Multi ROI settings and output image Note: In this mode, the frame grabber board must set its horizontal pixel number to Multi ROI Width and its vertical pixels to Multi ROI Max and the sum of Multi ROI Height.
GO-5000M-PMCL-UV: Black Level All : -256 ~+255 Gain control In the GO-5000M-PMCL-UV, the gain control uses Analog Base Gain and Digital Gain. Analog Base Gain can be set at 0dB, +6dB or +12dB. The digital gain is used for the master gain setting.
Page 51
GO-5000M-PMCL-UV Gain Auto This provides automatic control of the gain level. This is controlled by the command JAI ALC Reference. There are two modes. OFF: Adjust manually. Continuous: Operate the auto gain continuously The following detailed settings are also available.
This function can be used to convert the input to the desired output characteristics. The Lookup Table (LUT) has 32 points for setup in GO-5000M-PMCL-UV. The output level is created by applying gain to the input level to achieve the specified output level.
GO-5000M-PMCL-UV Linear and Dark Compression GO-5000M-PMCL-UV has a dark compression circuit to improve the signal-to-noise ratio in the dark portion of the image. The following drawing is characteristics of linear and dark compression. Shading Correction This function compensates for shading (non-uniformity) caused by the lens or the light source used.
If the blemish compensation is set to ON, the stored data is loaded. The customer can adjust white blemishes but not black blemishes. In the GO-5000M-PMCL-UV, auto gain and auto exposure can be combined to provide a wide ranging automatic exposure control from dark to bright or vice versa.
GO-5000M-PMCL-UV HDR (High Dynamic Range) HDR sensing mode can be set when HDR Mode is set to ON while Exposure Mode is Timed. The parameters to configure dynamic range are HDR_SLOPE Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 and Level 4.
