    (the inverse of line rate). This also allows a fixed exposure time, independent of the line rate. In the SW-2001Q-CL the exposure time can be set individually for all four channels.

  • Page 14: Operating Mode

    SW-2001Q-CL 6.2. Operating mode The SW-2001Q-CL has three operating modes. They are No-Shutter mode, Shutter-Select mode and PWC (Pulse Width Control) mode. The following chapters explain the details of these three modes. The output detail is shown below and is common with all modes.

  • Page 15: Shutter Mode With Internal Trigger

    SW-2001Q-CL 6.2.1 No-Shutter mode with internal trigger In this mode the camera does not accept an external trigger signal, as the line rate is generated from an internal clock (user programmable, command LR). The exposure time is directly proportional to the line rate (T = 1/line rate).

  • Page 16: Shutter Mode With External Trigger

    SW-2001Q-CL 6.2.2 No-Shutter mode with external trigger In this mode, the exposure time is directly proportional to the line rate. The line rate is generated externally by a trigger signal. This mode is used when an external trigger signal is available, e.g.

  • Page 17: Shutter-Select Mode With Internal Trigger

    SW-2001Q-CL 6.2.3 Shutter-Select mode with internal trigger This mode allows the user to have full control of the line rate and the exposure time individually, by programming separate timing generators. Subsequently, the camera does not accept an external trigger signal in this mode.

  • Page 18: Shutter-Select Mode With External Trigger

    SW-2001Q-CL 6.2.4 Shutter-Select mode with external trigger This mode allows the user to have full control of the exposure time, by programming a timing generator, while the line rate is controlled by an external trigger signal. The camera can accept an external trigger through the Camera Link connector or though the 12-pin Hirose connector.

  • Page 19: Pulse Width Control (Pwc) Mode

    SW-2001Q-CL 6.2.5 Pulse Width Control (PWC) mode In this mode, the user has full control of both the line rate and the exposure time of each line via the External Trigger input. At the falling edge of the External Trigger signal, the exposure is initiated, and at the rising edge the exposure is terminated and read out.

    Settings 0 (off) and 1 (on). Factory default is 0 (off). In this mode, when a trigger pulse does not occur after more than 53ms, the SW-2001Q-CL automatically returns to continuous operation with the line rate of 52.5μs. In this time, the camera operates by the internal trigger, and if the trigger is input, the video is immediately output.

  • Page 22: Command Ah - Activate One-Push Auto White Balance (Awb) - Shutter

    SW-2001Q-CL Command AH - Activate One-Push Auto White Balance (AWB) - Shutter By sending this command via the serial communication, the shutter based One-Push AWB function is activated. The white balance function takes approximately 3 seconds to complete. During this time the rear panel LED will show orange.

  • Page 23: Command Bi - Binning (Horizontal Only)

    0 LSB to 64 (16) LSB. The number in parenthesis is valid for 32-bit output. The SW-2001Q-CL has an automatic black level clamp function. This circuit is an analog circuit and after the signal level of dummy pixels is clamped at the constant level, it is digitized and the OB level is clamped at 32 LSB (8 LSB) in the digital clamp circuit.

  • Page 24: Command Ei - Interlocked R, G, B & Nir Exposure

    SW-2001Q-CL 7.12 Command EI – Interlocked R, G, B & NIR Exposure When this function enabled (interlocked), exposure time for all four channels is selected by setting the green channel and the red, blue and NIR channels will track. To obtain white balance, adjust red and blue channels, PER and PEB. It is thereafter possible to adjust overall exposure time by using the command PEG.

    SW-2001Q-CL exposure time and line rate at which the camera will be operated. Principle of Pixel black level correction (DSNU / FPN correction) Dark Signal Non-Uniformity or Fixed Pattern Noise is, as the name implies, fixed pattern on the sensor output, which is not dependent on the incoming light.

  • Page 28: Command Pgr - Pixel Gain Correction And Store In User Area

    SW-2001Q-CL compensates for Pixel Response Non Uniformity (PRNU) for individual pixels. The algorithm for compensation is different in No-Shutter mode and Shutter-Select mode. If the operating mode is changed, an adjustment in the selected mode must be made. The factory default is Shutter-Select mode.

  • Page 29: Command Pgs - Request Status After Pixel Gain Correction

    SW-2001Q-CL recommend level is half of maximum), and the average across the line is calculated. Based on this average, coefficients are then generated for each individual pixel. The coefficient has the function of multiplying the pixel output with a factor greater or less than 1. These coefficients are stored in a non-volatile memory, and are therefore maintained after power down.
