8.2.2 Trigger Mode After a specified external event (trigger) has occurred, image acquisition is started. De- pending on the interval of triggers used, the camera operates non-overlapped or over- lapped in this mode. With regard to timings in the trigger mode, the following basic formulas need to be taken into consideration: Case Formula earliestpossibletrigger(n+1) readout(n) - Page 24 8.2.2.2 Overlapped Operation: t > t exposure(n+2) exposure(n+1) If the exposure time (t ) is increased from the current acquisition to the next acquisi- exposure tion, the time the camera is unable to process occuring trigger signals (t ) is scaled notready down.

A digital camera usually delivers image data in at least one format - the native resolution of the sensor. Baumer cameras are able to provide several image formats (depending on the type of camera). Compared with standard cameras, the image format on Baumer cameras not only in- cludes resolution, but a set of predefined parameter. These parameters are: ▪ Resolution (horizontal and vertical dimensions in pixels) ▪... -

These values can be adjusted by the user. Notice The LUT always calculates with 12 bit input and 12 bit output.

Notice The activation of ROI turns off all Multi-ROIs. Start ROI End ROI ◄ Figure 16 ROI: Readout The readout is line based, which means always a complete line of pixels needs to be read out and afterwards the irrelevant information is discarded. -
Page 36: Binning
"Binning". Here, the charge carriers of neighboring pixels are aggre- gated. Thus, the progression is greatly increased by the amount of binned pixels. By using this operation, the progression in sensitivity is coupled to a reduction in resolution. Baumer cameras support three types of Binning – vertical, horizontal and bidirectional. In unidirectional binning, vertically or horizontally neighboring pixels are aggregated and reported to the software as one single "superpixel". In bidirectional binning, a square of neighboring pixels is aggregated. -
Page 37: Decimation (Sub-Sampling)
10.1.12 Decimation (sub-sampling) In this mode, the sensor is read out partially. Thus the frame rate is increased and the amount of data transferred is reduced. It is available for mono and color cameras. With color cameras, a color correct readout of the pixels takes place. -

Thereby the first ) is arbitrary and accompanied by the first flash. The second expo- exposure time (t exposure sure time must be equal to, or longer than the readout time (t ) of the sensor. Thus the readout pixels of the sensor are recepitve again shortly after the first exposure.

Page 56: Packet Size And Maximum Transmission Unit (Mtu)
The MTU describes the maximal packet size which can be handled by all network com- ponents involved. In principle modern network hardware supports a packet size of 1518 Byte, which is spec- ified in the network standard. However, so-called "Jumbo frames" are on the advance as Gigabit Ethernet continues to spread. "Jumbo frames" merely characterizes a packet size exceeding 1500 Bytes. Baumer LXG cameras can handle a MTU of up to 16384 Bytes. V2.8 | 06/07/2024 | 11129236... -
Page 57: Inter Packet Gap" (Ipg)
11.5 "Inter Packet Gap" (IPG) To achieve optimal results in image transfer, several Ethernet-specific factors need to be considered when using Baumer LXG cameras. Upon starting the image transfer of a camera, the data packets are transferred at maxi- mum transfer speed (1 Gbit/sec). In accordance with the network standard, Baumer em- ploys a minimal separation of 12 Bytes between two packets. This separation is called "Inter Packet Gap" (IPG). In addition to the minimal PD, the GigE Vision ® standard stipu- lates that the PD be scalable (user-defined). -
Page 58: Example 2: Multi Camera Operation - Optimal Ipg
11.5.2 Example 2: Multi Camera Operation – Optimal IPG A better method is to increase the IPG to a size of optimal IPG = packet size + 2 × minimal IPG In this way both data packets can be transferred successively (zipper principle), and the switch does not need to buffer the packets. -
Page 59: Frame Delay
11.6 Frame Delay Another approach for packet sorting in multi-camera operation is the so-called Frame De- lay, which was introduced to Baumer Gigabit Ethernet cameras in hardware release 2.1. Due to the fact, that the currently recorded image is stored within the camera and its transmission starts with a predefined delay, complete images can be transmitted to the PC at once. The following figure should serve as an example: ◄ Figure 48 Principle of the Frame delay. -

The data is sent out to an intelligent network node, an IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) capable Switch or Router and distributed to the receiver group with the specific address range.

11.11 Action Commands The basic idea behind this feature was to achieve a simultaneous trigger for multiple cameras.

Pausing while the interface is operational, results in an interim storage of the recorded images within the internal buffer of the camera.
