The continuous stream of encoder trigger pulses synchronized to the object motion establishes the line rate. The faster the object’s motion is, the higher the line rate. The Piranha XL camera can accommodate up to its specified maximum frequency. If the maximum frequency is exceeded, the camera will continue to output image data at the maximum specified. -
Page 25: Maximum Trigger (Line) Rate
Maximum Trigger (Line) Rate There are now two configurations of the Piranha XL camera. The high speed configuration PX-HM-16K12X-00-R has a useful operating range from 14 kHz • up to 125 kHz. It will operate below 14 kHz but may experience increased offset associated with dark current, both on a pixel and global basis. - Page 26 Figure 5. Image with proper scan direction Image scanned in direction where the TDI rows track opposite to the object motion Figure 6. Image with incorrect scan direction Some AOI systems require the scan direction to change at regular intervals, such as those scanning a panel forwards, coming to a stop, and then scanning backward as the cameras field of view is progressively indexed over the entire panel.

The number of invalid lines that result after the direction change are as follows: Number of Rows Number of Invalid Lines The mechanical diagram shows which direction is designated as forward for the camera. However, due to the characteristics of the lens, the direction of the objects motion is opposite to the image motion direction. -
Page 28: Establishing The Desired Response
Establishing the Desired Response One of the most important performance characteristics of the Piranha XL camera that will determine the camera’s suitability for a specific application is its responsivity and the associated noise level at the system’s maximum line rate and under the desired illumination conditions and lens configuration. -

Page 42: Using Fiber Modules
Using Fiber Modules The Piranha XL camera is capable of supporting one or two “CX4 Active Optical” fiber modules, which can have cable lengths up to 300 meters. The fiber module plugs directly into the camera connectors, which provide both communication and power to the module. CX4 fiber modules support four receiver lines, which results in only four image data lanes with one also carrying command response data and being available from the camera to the frame grabber. -

Page 67: Image Quality Issues
Image Quality Issues Vertical Lines Appear in Image after Calibration The purpose of flat field calibration is to compensate for the lens edge roll-off and imperfections in the illumination profiles by creating a uniform response. When performing a flat field calibration, the camera must be imaging a flat white target that is illuminated by the actual lighting used in the application. - Page 68 an external synchronization (EXSYNC) signal to the camera, where one pulse is generated when the object moves by the size of one object pixel. See ‘External Trigger Mode’ in the user manual. Any transport motion that is not correctly reflected in the EXSYNC pulses will cause image distortion in the scan direction.
- Page 69 Below is an example of the precautions necessary to achieve a smooth start to imaging from a stopped condition using a non-ideal transport mechanism. The test bench transport mechanism discussed here has an encoder which is an integrated part of the servo drive motor.
- Page 70 The following sections detail the causes of possible image quality problems with respect to optical misalignment and how to identify them. Image Will Not Focus Well over the Entire FOV If the image is skewed with respect to the sensor pixel array, then a sharp image perpendicular to object travel will not be achievable regardless of attempts to adjust focus.
