SW-4000TL-10GE Main Functions Valid Input / Output Combinations The following signals can be used as sources for each output destination (Trigger Selector, Line Selector, Pulse Generator Selector). You can also connect two different sources to NAND paths in the GPIO and reuse the signal generated there as a source for a different selector.
SW-4000TL-10GE GPIO (Digital Input / Output Settings) The unit can input/output the following signals to and from external input/output connectors. Line1 TTL Out 1 DC IN / TRIG IN connector (12 pin) External Line8 TTL Out 2 AUX connector (10 pin)

SW-4000TL-10GE 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 (Pixel Black Correct) / PRNU (Pixel Gain Correct) can be reduced using that correction data. We recommend performing calibration and creating correction data whenever the line rate setting is changed significantly.
SW-4000TL-10GE 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.
SW-4000TL-10GE 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.
SW-4000TL-10GE 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.
SW-4000TL-10GE 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.
SW-4000TL-10GE 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.
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.
SW-4000TL-10GE 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.

SW-4000TL-10GE Tilted View Correction and Chromatic Aberration Correction This camera features a tilted view correction function. The G channel, B channel, and R channel are positioned in that order on the sensor used on this camera. The G channel and R channel are corrected using the B channel in the middle as a reference.
SW-4000TL-10GE Connecting Rotary Encoders This camera can generate trigger signals or detect the scanning direction of the subject in response to signals output from the rotary encoder. ■ Adjustment procedure Input the two signals (phase A and phase B) from the rotary encoder.
SW-4000TL-10GE Frame Start Trigger In this camera, Data Leader and Data Trailer are added every frame. The number of lines of one frame is set by Offset Y, Height of [Image Format Control]. Offset Y’s setting range is 0 to 4096.
SW-4000TL-10GE 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.
SW-4000TL-10GE 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.
SW-4000TL-10GE 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...
SW-4000TL-10GE 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.
SW-4000TL-10GE Layout of pixels The arrangement of Green, Blue, Red pixels in the sensor is shown in the figure below. In the case of Binning Off, there is a gap between individual lines of Green, Blue, Red. [Binning Vertical] : Off 7.5μm...
