NOTICE Damage to the camera by improper cleaning Goldeye G/CL cameras do not need additional cleaning. Cameras are cleaned before shipping. Incorrect cleaning can damage the sensor or the optical filter. • Never clean the sensor or the optical filter.
Configuring the host computer Goldeye G cameras can operate on 100 Megabit or Gigabit speed NICs. To reach the maximum camera frame rate, a Gigabit speed NIC with jumbo packet support is required. If your host computer has an available Ethernet port, this can be used with your Goldeye G camera.
NICs should be set. Each NIC or NIC card port requires a unique IP address. For example: NIC 1: • IP Address: 169.254.100.1 • Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0 • Default gateway: blank NIC 2: • IP Address: 169.254.100.2 • Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0 • Default gateway: blank Goldeye G/CL User Guide V4.6.1...
Table 6: Network interface card driver settings Default packet size The default packet size of Goldeye G cameras is 8228 bytes. The host NIC needs to support a packet size of equal or larger size to stream from the camera.
After you have installed Vimba X Viewer or a third-party application to your host computer, connect your Goldeye G camera via a CAT5e or higher rated Ethernet cable to connect the camera to the NIC. Crossover cabling is not required but does work.
Vimba X. Additionally, Vimba X includes the Cognex Adapter for VisionPro. Powering up the camera A camera power adapter for each Goldeye G camera is available from Allied Vision.

Specifications chapter. Figure 92: Goldeye G/CL image data flow The Goldeye G/CL contains a chain of image processing modules, called the image processing chain. The first module )called Analog Gain( receives the source signal from the sensor. Each of the subsequent modules receives the output data of the previous module as input.
The corrections need special correction data that must be provided before operating the image processing chain. Find detailed descriptions of the features and the functionality associated with them in the Goldeye G/CL Features Reference. Determination and storage of correction data For each individual camera, specific correction data is determined during the manufacturing process.
The result is an excessively reduced dynamic range. These pixels are counted as defect pixels. The value of each defect pixel is replaced by an interpolated value from non-defect neighboring pixels. This way, the image appears without disturbing bright or dark pixels. Goldeye G/CL User Guide V4.6.1...

Decimation reduces the image resolution by omitting pixels, but based on the full ROI.

Example The Peltier element of the Goldeye G-033 and CL-033 TEC1 can achieve a ΔT of 25 kelvin. Its default temperature setpoint is set to +20 degrees Celsius. If the camera is switched on at an ambient temperature of +8 degrees Celsius, the TEC cannot cool down the sensor to the default setpoint, because the ambient temperature is below the default setpoint.
Page 308
To keep the current sensor temperature as long as possible, the TEC does not switch down immediately when the Min. ΔT to the next temperature setpoint is reached. These points are marked in green in Figure 100. Goldeye G/CL User Guide V4.6.1...

Figure 100: Schematic figure of setpoint switching downwards Heating and cooling the sensor (G-008 and CL-008 only) As a special case, Goldeye G-008 and CL-008 models can actively heat up the sensor, enabling the TEC to operate at a sensor temperature that is higher than the housing or ambient temperature.
Figure 102: Cooling capabilities of Goldeye TEC1 models (example) As a result, the CL-033 TEC1 switches to the lowest setpoint it can reach, which is at +35 degrees Celsius, and keeps the sensor at that temperature. Goldeye G/CL User Guide V4.6.1...
Page 311
For this example, it is assumed that during operation, the housing temperature of a Goldeye G-032 Cool TEC2 has leveled at approximately +38 degrees Celsius. Because the temperature difference achievable is 60 kelvin, the TEC can reach the default setpoint at -20 degrees Celsius.
