    Nano-CXP. See Components Express Contact Information for a variety of CoaXPress cables. The following figure of the Genie Nano-CXP back shows connector and LED locations along with identification labels. See Mechanical Specifications — Nano-CXP for details on the connectors and camera mounting dimensions.

  • Page 28: Led Indicators

    LED Indicators The Genie Nano-CXP has one multicolor LED to provide a simple visible indication of camera state, as described below. The CoaXPress link connectors do not have any status LED indicators. Camera Status LED Indicator The camera is equipped with one LED to display its operational status. When more than one condition is active, the LED color indicates the condition with the highest priority.

  • Page 29: Preventing Operational Faults Due To Esd

    Problems such as random packet loss, random camera resets, and random loss of Ethernet connections, may all be solved by proper ESD management. Teledyne DALSA has performed ESD testing on Nano cameras using an 8 kilovolt ESD generator without any indication of operational faults. The two following methods, either individually or together will prevent ESD problems.

  • Page 30: Operational Reference

    The Sapera CamExpert tool allows a user to test the camera and frame grabber combination and their functions. Additionally CamExpert saves the Teledyne DALSA frame grabber user settings as individual camera parameter files on the host system (*.ccf). The camera settings are saved within the camera as a user set.

  • Page 31: Camexpert View Parameters Option

    This avoids confusion by eliminating parameter choices when they do not apply to the hardware in use. When using a Teledyne DALSA frame grabber and camera, CamExpert groups all frame grabber parameters first and then follows with the supported camera features. Together the user configures the imaging system.

  • Page 32: Feature Descriptions

    Parameters in gray are read only, either always or due to another parameter being disabled. Parameters in black are user set in CamExpert or programmable via an imaging application. Features listed in the description table but tagged as Invisible are usually for Teledyne DALSA or third-party software usage—not typically needed by end user applications.

    Important: Any reduction of the camera’s acquisition area from its maximum must be matched by the same reduction in the frame grabber’s buffer dimensions. The Teledyne DALSA CXP frame grabber will generate “Buffer Incomplete” errors when the buffer dimensions do not match the Nano-CXP cropped acquisition.

  • Page 79: Using The Multiple Roi Mode

    Using the Multiple ROI Mode Genie Nano-CXP color and monochrome 6200 and 8200 cameras implement the Multiple ROI mode (region of interest) features, which allow having 2 to 32 smaller image ROI areas versus the single ROI area possible with vertical and horizontal crop functions.

  • Page 80: Example: Four Roi Areas (2X2)

    The camera output image frame consists only of the ROI areas, in the same order as the ROI rows and columns. The user must account for the change between ROI data for each output image row. • The output image being smaller, reduces the bandwidth requirements. 78 • Feature Descriptions Genie Nano-CXP Series™...

  • Page 81: Example: Actual Sample With Six Roi Areas (3X2)

    With the ROI areas defined, the camera outputs an image consisting only of data within those ROI areas, as shown below.
