Page 40: Camera Mounting
Compliance, safety, and intended use Camera mounting Housed cameras must be mounted using the mounting threads. If vibration is higher than specified, cameras can disconnect from the mounting base. Falling cameras can hurt you. To avoid personal injury: • Mount the camera according to the instructions in Mounting housed cameras on page 188.
Page 41: Cable Connections
Compliance, safety, and intended use Cable connections Provide sufficient strain relief for all cable connections to avoid short circuits and malfunctions. PCBAs Alvium USB cameras enable access to PCBAs. Keep away from camera electronics to avoid damage. Camera power Operating the camera beyond the specified range damages the camera. Cameras are powered over USB.
Page 42: Ground Loops
Proper cable handling enables reliable performance: • Use only shielded cables to avoid electromagnetic interferences. • Please use cables recommended by Allied Vision. • Avoid unnecessary bending to prevent damage to the cables. • Avoid coiling to prevent electromagnetic interference.
Page 43: Handling Bare Board Cameras
Compliance, safety, and intended use Alvium USB cameras and USB 2.0 If Alvium USB cameras are connected to USB 2.0 ports, they are recognized. They can be operated with reduced performance only if DeviceLinkThroughputLimit is set to a value supported by USB 2.0. See Host setup and bandwidth on page 221.
Page 44: Sensor
Compliance, safety, and intended use Sensor Sensors are sensitive to excessive radiation: focused sunlight, lasers, and X-rays can damage the sensor. Dirt and scratches can damage the sensor as well. Alvium USB cameras do not need additional cleaning. Cameras are cleaned before shipping.

Compliance, safety, and intended use Mechanical components Heat sinks Heat sinks can be used to cool the camera for safety and to improve image quality. Adhere to the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the heat sink. Conductive media for heat sinks Some conductive media for heat sinks contain corrosive substances that can damage optical surfaces of the sensor, filter, and lens.

This enables operating cameras with USB3 Vision, GigE Vision, or CoaXPress interfaces with a common software. GenICam consists of multiple modules for different tasks. Allied Vision cameras and software use these modules, like the SFNC that standardizes feature names and types via an XML file or the transport layer interface (GenTL) used to grab images.

Page 51: Exposure Time And Frame Rates
Specifications Exposure time and frame rates Specified values Stated values were calculated (see Operation for maximum frame rates), then verified with the test setup described in Table 14. Only a few minor deviations for values below maximum resolution were identified. Component Property Desktop workstation Dell Precision T5500 Precision (EHW400)
Page 52: Sensor Adc Readout Modes For Maximum Frame Rates
Specifications Sensor ADC readout modes for maximum frame rates If you are using pixel formats that do not require 12-bit sensor ADC readout and you want to achieve higher frame rates, you can select between readout modes for 12-bit, 10-bit, and 8-bit with some Alvium USB camera models. See your model’s specifications.
Page 53: Operation For Maximum Frame Rates
Specifications • If the trigger controlled exposure time does not match the available increment, the camera automatically extends the exposure time to the next increment. • Subsequently, the exposure time offset is added. You can use ExposureActive to determine the duration of the exposure time offset.
Page 54: Digital Binning
Specifications Achieved frame rates may not match specified values • Some sensors have an exposure start jitter that may reduce maximum frame rates. • Your individual setup may cause delays in data transmission. Bandwidth adjustments Consider the bandwidth available for camera payload depends on your individual hardware, the operating system, software and drivers, and your application.

Page 218: Dark Current Compensation
Performance and troubleshooting Dark current compensation All sensors accumulate dark current in the pixels. Dark current increases the signal level and black level. Most sensors in Alvium USB cameras compensate for this. For Alvium 1800 U-050m/c with the ON Semi PYTHON 480 sensor, see Black level compensation for 1800 U-050m/c on page 219.

Page 230: Camera Recognition
Performance and troubleshooting Camera recognition How can I make the computer and Vimba Viewer recognize the camera? Check if the hardware supports your USB camera. Is the power supply sufficient to operate the camera? See Power consumption issues on page 228. See the Alvium Cameras Accessory Guide at www.alliedvision.com/en/support/technical-documentation/alvium-usb- documentation.
Page 231: Unexpected Events
The camera is intact, but your previous computer or cable has a defect. Continue with 2. The camera does not work properly. Then: Most likely, the camera has a defect. Please contact Allied Vision support. Connect the camera with the previous cable to the different computer. The camera works properly. Then: Replace the cable.
Page 232: Performance
Performance and troubleshooting Why does the camera not transfer images? The value for DeviceLinkThroughputLimit is set higher than the bandwidth supported by the host system. Then: Check if sufficient bandwidth is assigned to the camera. See Host setup and bandwidth on page 221.
Page 233: Radio Signal Interference
Performance and troubleshooting Radio signal interference How can I avoid radio signal interference from wireless devices? Ensure camera installation complies with Electromagnetic Compatibility. Wireless devices and USB 3.0 or 3.1 Gen 1 commonly use 2.4 GHz frequency (WLAN includes 2.4, 3.6, and 4.9 GHz). Even USB 3.0 and 3.1 Gen 1 cables can interfere harmfully with other electromagnetic devices.
