Go-X Series Rolling Shutter GigE Vision I/F (Preliminary) Main Functions Sensor Shutter Mode The rolling-shutter camera has two sensor shutter modes (Rolling and Global Reset). When using a rolling-shutter camera, the exposure and line readout are executed pixel row by pixel row, and the exposure timing can be specified by SensorShutterMode.
Page 26
Go-X Series Rolling Shutter GigE Vision I/F (Preliminary) Global Reset Use Global Reset for applications with moving objects. When Global Reset is selected, moving objects can be captured without distortion as each pixel row begins exposing at the same time. However, in this mode, the exposure time becomes longer for the lower pixel rows, which results in a gradual increase in brightness from top to bottom.
Go-X Series Rolling Shutter GigE Vision I/F (Preliminary) Acquisition Control This camera has three Acquisition modes (SingleFrame, MultFrame, Continuous). Use the AcquisitionControl settings to perform operations and settings for image capture. SingleFrame When the AcquisitionStart command is executed, one frame of image is captured. MultiFrame When the AcquisitionStart command is executed, the number of frames set in AcquisitonFrameCount are acquired as images.
Go-X Series Rolling Shutter GigE Vision I/F (Preliminary) The shortest frame period varies depending on the selected ROI, pixel format, and binning mode. The longest frame period varies depending on the SenorShutterMode or PixelFormat settings. Model Name Longest Frame Period GOX-6409MC-PGE SensorShutterMode: Rolling 0.56 Hz (Approx.

Go-X Series Rolling Shutter GigE Vision I/F (Preliminary) 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.
Go-X Series Rolling Shutter GigE Vision I/F (Preliminary) LUT (Lookup Table) 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.
Go-X Series Rolling Shutter GigE Vision I/F (Preliminary) Blemish Compensation Multiple defective pixels that are not adjacent to each other can occur on conventional CMOS sensor cameras. This camera features a function that interpolates defective pixels using the surrounding pixels. Up to 256 pixels can be corrected.
Page 42
Go-X Series Rolling Shutter GigE Vision I/F (Preliminary) Manual Configuration Select the index in BlemishCompensationIndex. You can select from 1 to 256. However, configure the indexes in order starting with the smallest index. If you skip indexes while configuring settings, interpolation may not be performed.
Go-X Series Rolling Shutter GigE Vision I/F (Preliminary) Shading Correction The ShadingCorrection function corrects non-uniformity (i.e., shading) in the amount of light generated by the lens and lighting equipment. Using this function allows correction even if top, bottom, left, and right shading is not symmetrical in relation to the center of the screen (H, V). Block size is 256 x 256 pixels.
