Select in [Line Selector] > [Line Source]. Camera Output Formats The SW-4000M-PMCL supports a variety of output formats. The supported tap geometries are as follows. The tap geometry settings on the camera side and the frame grabber board side must match. For details on frame grabber board settings, refer to the instruction manual of the board.
SW-4000M-PMCL Image Output Timing ■ Trigger Control The camera allows Line Start trigger controls to be performed via external trigger signals. The Line Start trigger allows exposure control via the trigger signal inputs. The settings for exposure control and triggers are related to each other. Be sure to configure the settings described in “Connecting to the Camera to Control Tool”...

SW-4000M-PMCL Pixel Sensitivity Correction Correct variations between the sensorʼs pixels. Calibration must be performed within the camera and correction data must be created beforehand. DSNU (PixelBlackCorrect) / PRNU (PixelGainCorrect) can be reduced using that correction data. We recommend performing calibration and creating correction data whenever the line rate setting or Analog base gain setting or vertical binning setting are changed significantly.
SW-4000M-PMCL Gain Control The following gain functions are available on the camera. • Analog base gain • Digital gain ■ Analog base gain Analog base gain (ABG) is gain that is performed to the analog video signal output from the sensor.
SW-4000M-PMCL Shading Correction The shading correction is a function that corrects non-uniformity (i.e., shading) in the amount of light generated by the lens and lighting equipment. The following shading correction modes are available on the camera. ■ Flat shading correction The range of brightness that can be corrected is within ±30% of the region with the highest signal level...
SW-4000M-PMCL ■ Auto line rate configuration function You can automatically configure the optimal line rate when you want to prioritize sensitivity. • Supported operation modes: When Trigger Mode OFF, Exposure Mode OFF. You can also save the setting and have it applied whenever the power is subsequently turned on. For details on saving the setting, see “Step 7: Saving the Settings”...
SW-4000M-PMCL Test Pattern Function You can display the following types of test patterns. Video output is not possible while a test pattern is being executed. This function is not dependent on gain and offset values that have already been configured, and output is performed in the following states.
SW-4000M-PMCL Binning The binning function allows you to combine the signal values of clusters of adjacent pixels to create improved virtual pixels. Using the function results in images with lower pixel resolution and higher sensitivity. This camera performs horizontal binning via digital addition or averaging processing.
