Page 32: Trigger Mode Details
Trigger Mode Details Falcon4-CLHS image exposures are initiated by an event. The trigger event is either the camera’s programmable internal clock used in free running mode, an external input to the controlling frame grabber used for synchronizing exposures to external triggers, or a programmed function call message by the controlling computer. -
Page 33: Trigger Overlap: Feature Details
Trigger Overlap: Feature Details The Trigger Overlap feature defines how the Falcon4-CLHS handles triggers that might occur more frequently than the Frame Active period (an exposure plus readout period). If TriggerOverlap = OFF, then triggers received before the end of the Frame Active period are ignored. Other TriggerOverlap values are dependent on the camera model and sensor used. -

Page 37: Performing An Fpn Setup Via Sapera Camexpert
Performing an FPN Setup via Sapera CamExpert The Sapera LT CamExpert tool provides an easy GUI based method for a user to perform a FPN Calibration. For FPN calibration the camera must acquire a suitable dark image. FPN Correction In general, factory FPN correction is sufficient for most applications. However, if a new FPN correction is required a user set FPN correction can be applied. - Page 38 Pixel values should all be above zero. Note that the Black Level setting is not applied during calibration. Step 3. Set the FPN Correction Mode to Calibration and select the required user set from FPN Correction Active SetflatfieldCorrectionCurrentActiveSet drop-down menu. Step 4.
- Page 39 Step 6. In the Calibration FPN feature, click the Press… command to perform the calibration. Step 7. If required, verify the Optical Black Reference Calibration Offset setting; set the FPN Correction Mode to Off and Black Level to 0. Grab an image and use a histogram to verify that pixel values are above zero; if necessary, adjust the Optical Black Reference Calibration Offset.

Page 79: Additional Reference Information
Additional Reference Information Choosing a Lens with the Correct Image Circle Falcon4 requires a lens with an image circle specification to fully illuminate the sensor. The following section graphically shows the minimum lens image circle for each model along with alternative lens types. -
Page 80: Additional Lens Parameters (Application Specific)
Additional Lens Parameters (application specific) There are other lens parameters that are chosen to meet the needs of the vision application. These parameters are independent of the Linea Lite GigE (assuming that the Lens Mount and Lens Sensor Size parameters are correct, as previously covered in this section). A vision system integrator or lens specialist should be consulted when choosing lenses since there is a tradeoff between the best lenses and cost. -
Page 81: Optical Considerations
The wavelengths and intensity of light required to capture useful images vary per application. The image will be affected by speed, spectral characteristics, exposure time, light source characteristics, environmental and acquisition system specifics, etc. Teledyne DALSA’s Web Site introduces this potentially complicated issue. Click on Knowledge Center and select Application Notes and Technology Primers. -
Page 82: Back Focal Variance When Using Any Filter
Back Focal Variance when using any Filter Inserting a filter between a lens and sensor changes the back focal point of the lens used. A variable focus lens simply needs to be adjusted, but in the case of a fixed focus lens, the changed focal point needs correction. -
Page 83: Lens Modeling
Lens Modeling Any lens surrounded by air can be modeled for camera purposes using three primary points: the first and second principal points and the second focal point. The primary points for a lens should be available from the lens data sheet or from the lens manufacturer. Primed quantities denote characteristics of the image side of the lens. -
Page 84: Sensor Handling Instructions
Sensor Handling Instructions This section reviews procedures for handling, cleaning or storing the camera. The sensor must be kept clean and away from static discharge to maintain design performance. Electrostatic Discharge and the Sensor Camera sensors containing integrated electronics are susceptible to damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD). -
