Page 54: Binning
4.2.3.1. Binning When binning is applied, the image is divided into cluster of k×k pixels, where all pixel values in each cluster are summed or averaged and treated as one output pixel. For example, a 2×2 binning produces 2×2 pixel clusters and results in images with 1/2 of the original horizontal and vertical resolution. -
Page 55: Acquisition Modes
4.3. Acquisition modes 4.3.1. Free-Run Also known as continuous acquisition. In this mode the sensor delivers a constant stream of image data at the maximum speed available by the current bandwidth, without any external trigger. Each image exposition is started automatically when possible. For all sensors the exposure of the next frame overlaps with the data readout of the previous frame. -
Page 56: Triggered Mode
4.3.2.3. Triggered mode This mode gives lower FPS compared to Free-Run mode. Sensor support two modes of exposure which have impact on camera signaling.

Page 58: Sensor Shutter Modes
4.4. Sensor Shutter Modes XiMu cameras can be operated in two shutter modes, Rolling Shutter or Global Reset Release. The Rolling Shutter mode is used if the camera is operated in free-run mode. If the camera is triggered, either by hardware trigger or through software, the sensor uses the Global Reset Release mode. -
Page 59: Global Reset Release Mode
Rolling shutter artifacts may be prevented by using a flash or stroboscopic light. The flash or strobe must occur when all lines are exposed simultaneously. The exact timing depends on sensor type and readout timing. Exposure Readout Time Flash strobe figure 4-7, rolling shutter mode with flash - schematic In Rolling shutter mode all lines are triggered consecutively, and a strobe must be timed so that it does not start before all lines are open. -
Page 60: How To Freeze The Motion
4.4.3. How to Freeze the Motion When a moving object (e.g. on a conveyor belt) is imaged with a longer exposure time, the resulting image will show Motion Blur. To avoid Motion Blur the short exposure times or flash illumination should be used. Example of a setup with MU9 camera: Sensor width (W) 0.0057m 2520 pixel horizontally (PX) -
Page 61: Auto White Balance
The measurement is performed on the central rectangle of the image, with 1/8 of its width and height. The function expects a white sheet of paper exposed to 50% of the intensity values (8 Bit RGB values should be around 128) to be visible. 4.6.2.2. -

Note: Be sure that each camera is connected to different USB controller.
