  • Page 30: Pixel Sensitivity Correction

    SW-4000Q-SFP Pixel Sensitivity Correction Correct variations between the sensor’s pixels. Calibration must be performed within the camera and correction data must be created beforehand. DSNU (PixelBlackCorrect) / PRNU (PixelGainCorrect) can be reduced using that correction data. We recommend performing calibration and creating correction data whenever the line rate setting or Analog base gain setting or vertical binning setting are changed significantly.
  • Page 31: Gain Control

    SW-4000Q-SFP Gain Control The following gain functions are available on the camera. • Analog base gain • Digital gain ■ Analog base gain Analog base gain (ABG) is gain that is performed to the analog video signal output from the sensor.
  • Page 32: Lookup Table (Lut)

    SW-4000Q-SFP Lookup Table(LUT) The LUT function is used to generate a non-linear mapping between signal values captured on the sensor and those that are output from the camera. You can specify the output curve using 257 setting points (indexes). ■ To use the LUT function Configure the settings as follows.
  • Page 33: Gamma Function

    SW-4000Q-SFP Gamma Function The gamma function corrects the output signals from the camera beforehand (reverse correction), taking into consideration the light-emitting properties of the monitor display. As the light-emitting properties of the monitor are not linear, the entire image may be darker or the gradation in the dark areas may be less noticeable when camera outputs are displayed without processing.
  • Page 34: Shadingcorrection

    SW-4000Q-SFP Shading Correction The shading correction is a function that corrects non-uniformity (i.e., shading) in the amount of light generated by the lens and lighting equipment. The following shading correction modes are available on the camera。 ■ Flat shading correction Correct so that the part with the highest luminance level in the screen is taken as the reference and the other part is adjusted to this luminance level.
  • Page 35: Variable Line Rate

    SW-4000Q-SFP Variable Line Rate You can set the line rate to 1L or more. This function can be used to match the scanning speed of the camera to the feeding speed of the object or to lengthen the accumulation time to increase sensitivity.
  • Page 36: Electronic Shutter

    SW-4000Q-SFP Electronic Shutter When you use this function, you can set the exposure to a preconfigured accumulation time, regardless of the line rate. • Variable range: 3 μs to 15.149 ms • Variable unit: 0.01 μs (1clk) • Supported operation modes: When Trigger Mode ON, Exposure Mode Timed Caution In “Trigger Mode OFF, Exposure Mode Timed”...
  • Page 37: Color Space Conversion

    Default Caution If you set the color space to XYZ or HSI, eBUS Player for JAI will not display the images captured by the camera properly. To display them properly, XYZ- or HSI-compatible image processing must be performed on the computer side.
  • Page 38: Counter And Timer Control Function

    SW-4000Q-SFP Counter And Timer Control Function This camera supports only the counter function. The counter function counts up change points in the camera’s internal signals using the camera’s internal counter, and reads that information from the host side. This function is useful for verifying error conditions via the count value using internal camera operations.

  • Page 40: Chromatic Aberration Correction

    SW-4000Q-SFP Chromatic Aberration Correction This Function corrects for the chromatic aberration of magnification caused by the lens (i.e., when the size of the image differs at the focal point for each color (RGB)). You can save correction data for three types of lenses. This function assumes that the amount of deviation between the left and right is identical.
  • Page 41: Frame Start Trigger

    SW-4000Q-SFP If necessary, enable the low-pass filter for the signal to prevent unintended operations due to signal noise from the rotary encoder. Specify the number of cycles from a range of 0 to 15 (0 to 150 ns). If necessary, specify the strobe length of the generated signal.
  • Page 42: Binning Function

    SW-4000Q-SFP Binning Function The binning function allows you to combine the signal values of clusters of adjacent pixels to create improved virtual pixels. Using the function results in images with lower pixel resolution and higher sensitivity. This camera performs vertical binning via digital addition in the sensor.
  • Page 43: Chunk Data Function

    SW-4000Q-SFP Chunk Data Function The Chunk Data function adds camera configuration information to the image data that is output from the camera. Embedding camera configuration information in the image data allows you to use the serial number of the camera as a search key and find specific image data from among large volumes of image data.
  • Page 44: Event Control Function

    SW-4000Q-SFP Event Control Function The Event Control Function is a function that outputs a signal change point inside the camera as information indicative of an event occurrence (event message) by using GVCP (GigE Vision Control Protocol). ■ Flow from detecting an event to sending an event message...
  • Page 45: Action Control Function

    SW-4000Q-SFP Action Control Function The Action Control Function is a function that executes the pre-configured action when the camera receives action commands. Action commands can send both unicast and broadcast messages and give instructions for actions to multiple cameras simultaneously by broadcasting them.
