1.2 RoHS Compliance CamPerform CP70-1-M/C-1000 cameras are Pb free manufactured. 1.3 Standards The camera has been developed according to following standards: • CoaXPress Standard Version 1.1.1 - JIIA CXP-001-2015 • GenICam SFNC 2.3 • GenICam PFNC 2.1 1.4 Remarks The following signs are used in this user manual to highlight some information: Remarks and additional information.
Please be careful when using camera. Pay attention especially to: Camera power Please be careful when powering camera. Use power over Coaxpress (PoCXP) or delivered external power supply (option). Temperature and Humidity Please respect recommended conditions. You may use controlled airflow or heatsinks to keep camera in better temperature conditions.
• An Optronis CoaXPress camera • CoaXPress cables • An acquisition and control system (a CoaXPress Frame Grabber in a PC) • A Control Software based on Frame Grabber features • Optional features (External power supply, External synchronization system, etc…).

4 Camera Main Features This paragraph describes camera main features and how they can be used. It focuses on principles and overall understanding of these features. The camera control interface and specific values used to access these features are detailed in later paragraph”6.2. XML Main Entries - Features Description, page 35”. As explained later, these features are controlled by an XML file divided in “entries”.
Figure 9: Camera Single ROI control 4.1.3 Multi ROI Multi ROI control Multi ROI mode is controlled by XML entries: • multiroi_number • Width / OffsetX • multiroi0_y_start / multiroi0_y_height • multiroi1_y_start / multiroi1_y_height • multiroi2_y_start / multiroi2_y_height • multiroi3_y_start / multiroi3_y_height •...
Enabling and Configuring multi ROI To enable and use multi ROI: • Stop Acquisition • Width / OffsetX according your needs. All ROIs share the same Width / OffsetX. • Set ROIs parameters multiroi0_y_start / multiroi0_y_height multiroi1_y_start / multiroi1_y_height, … following these rules ...
4.2 Available CXP Configurations The CoaXPress standard allows a lot of different configurations (number of cables, transfer rates, …). You may want to change it to fit your system needs. This camera is compatible with: • CXP6_X2 = 2 links at 6Gbbps •...
= “On”: Same as in the “Continuous” mode, camera register controls the exposure and can be modified using camera XML control interface. Granularity = “Off”: The exposure is controlled by the CoaXPress TTL signal pulse width. Frame rate and exposure are controlled by XML entries: •...
T2 is controlled by CoaXPress frame grabber “signal” period T1 is controlled by camera • Granularity is disabled (“Off”): T2 is controlled by CoaXPress frame grabber “signal” period T1 is controlled by CoaXPress frame grabber “signal” pulse width In both cases, timings must be respected. -22-...
4.4.2 Max & Min FPS Camera maximum FPS can be reached at default CoaXPress configuration. If you reduce CoaXPress speed (ex: CXP6 to CXP5 or CXP3), the maximum FPS is reduced. = .
4.6 Image Enhancement 4.6.1 Hot Pixels Correction A hot pixel correction is computed during camera production for every camera and stored in camera flash. Up to 768 “hot pixels” can be corrected. This correction is enabled by default (“On”) and can be disabled (“Off”).
Page 25
This correction is controlled by XML entry: • EnableFPN Dynamic FPN & PRNU A dynamic FPN & PRNU correction using real time pixel information is available. A new correction is computed after every acquisition start. This correction is enabled by default (“On”) and can be disabled (“Off”).
4.6.6 2x2 Binning A 2x2 binning feature is available. It is disabled by default (“Off”) and can be enabled by setting it (“On”). 2x2 binning consists in an analog sum of a 2x2 pixel matrix (so 4 adjacent pixels). The output frame is this sum.
4.8 Save User Configuration to Flash Camera can boot using a specific user configuration stored in its flash memory. At power up, the camera uses any user configuration previously saved. If no user configuration is there, the camera boots using the default factory configuration.
Figure 13: CP70 HW Identification 5.1.2 Powering Camera Camera can be powered either by Power over Coaxpress (PoCXP) or using its external power connector. Using PoCXP When using PoCXP, the power is supplied by the Frame Grabber through CXP cable on cable n°1. Other cables are used only for data transfer.
External Power Supply Power connector is used to power camera when using an external power supply instead of power over CoaXPress feature (PoCXP). The connector is labelled “Pwr” for CP70. Optronis Camera accessory “Power supply” is recommended when using an external power supply.
5.1.4 Auxiliary Connector Auxiliary connector is used to access camera Sync In and Sync Out IOs and for firmware updates. The connector is labelled “Aux” for CP70. Camera accessory “Pigtail cable” gives user 2 x 50-ohm BNC connectors to access Sync IN and Sync Out signals.
Sync In The Sync In camera input is TTL adapted (high impedance). To adapt to 50 Ohm, please add an external 50 Ohm termination. The input principle is described by Figure 16. To operate Sync In correctly, a Sync In driver has to be used with a minimum sink current (TTL low level) of 5mA.
Slow Flash 0.5Hz (1s on, 1s off) Slow pulse 1Hz (200ms on, 800ms off) Each 4 CoaXPress links / connector has its dedicated LED indicating its status. The table here after describes camera link status for every possible LED state. Camera Link State LED state...
CoaXPress standard and others are Optronis specific and are used to controlled camera specific features. The camera firmware contains a GenICam / CoaXPress compliant XML file which gives access to all required camera registers and thus allows a simplified control of the camera by any CoaXPress compliant Frame Grabber.
Numbers (Integer, Float, …) For numbers (integer, float, etc…), limits are defined by: • All these entries consist in a 4bytes register access. • Masked = If a bit mask must be applied when accessing this value • Min = Minimum possible value •...
