(*) Teledyne e2v norm: more severe than EMVA 1288 Standard 1.3 Description “The Teledyne e2v AViiVA SM2 takes advantage of all the features that made the AViiVA M2 a success, but integrates flat field correction to compensate for lens and light source non-uniformities. Teledyne e2v manages the cameras entire manufacturing process from sensor to the camera.

• A shielded power supply cable • A camera Link data transfer cable ref. 14B26-SZLB-500-OLC (3M) Teledyne e2v recommends using the same configuration to ensure the compliance with the following standards. 4.1 CE Conformity The AViiVA cameras comply with the requirements of the EMC (European) directive 2004/108/EC.
There is no CDROM delivered with the Camera : Both User Manual (this document) and CommCam control software have to be downloaded from the web site : This ensure you to have an up-to-date version. www.Teledyne e2v.com/cameras Main Camera page : On the appropriate Camera Page (AVIIVA SM2 Monochrome) you’ll find a download link...
6 CAMERA SOFTWARE INTERFACE 6.1 Control and Interface As all the Teledyne e2v Cameras, the AVIIVA CL is delivered with the friendly interface control software COMMCAM.UCL (as “Ultimate Camera Link”) which is based on the GenICam standard COMMCAM recognizes and detects automatically all the UCL Cameras connected on any transport layers (Camera Link or COM ports) of your system.
6.2.2 Command Processing Each command received by the camera is processed: ➢ The setting is implemented (if valid) ➢ The camera returns “>”<return code><CR> The possible return codes are detailed in the table next chapter. The camera return code has to be received before sending a new command. The camera return code has to be received before sending a new command.
7 Camera Commands The Following chapter is about the camera commands. These commands are detailed are in ASCII format only. The return standard code if the commands has been correctly executed is : “>Ok”<CR> This return code follows all the returns of each command described below. 7.1 Device Information &...

7.2 Image Format There is no individual readout for each of these parameters. The readout is made with the global command “!=3” • Output Configuration : Defines the number of CameraLink Channels in base mode. Write function : “D=<val>” <val>...
7.3 Acquisition Control • Exposure Time : Defines the Internal Exposure time when compliant with the Trigger Mode. Write function : “I=<val>” <val> is : INT value from 1 to 32767 The Exposure time is directly defined in Microseconds : Maximum value is then 32.767ms •...

➢ Each Pixel is corrected with : An Offset coded on 8 bits (Unsigned Int). They cover a dynamic of 0 to 255LSB in 12bits with a resolution of 1 LSB 12bits. A Gain on 12 bits with a max gain value of x1.999 The calculation of the new pixel value is : P’...
7.5.2 Manual Flat Field Correction The FFC Coefficients can also be processed outside of the Camera or changed manually by accessing directly their values in the Camera : This is the “Manual” FFC. In CommCam, the User can access to a specific interface by clicking on “click for extended control” in both “Manual FFC calibration”...
7.5.3 Save & Restore FFC in User Banks The FFC Coefficients processed by the camera can be stored in 4 different User Banks. FPN (Offsets) and PRNU (Gains) coefficients are stored separately : • Save FPN Coefficients : Save all the FPN Offsets in one of the four User banks . ...
7.6 Save/Restore Configuration The configuration of the camera (all the parameters except the FPN/PRNU Coefficients) can be saved in 4x User Banks. At the power up of the Camera, one of these User Bank will be restored, depending on the Recall Method set by the “CM”...

In this case, the line period (tper) can be defined in the Camera (see below) but the real line period of the camera depends also on the exposure time (tint) set : ➢...
9.2 Ext Trig with Exposure time set in the camera This mode requires an external trigger ( via CC1) but the exposure time is the one defined in the Camera. If the line period of the Trig signal provided to the camera is lower than the exposure time set in the camera, the “short trig pulses”...
9.4 Ext Trig with Exposure Time Controlled (ITC) with one Trig This mode requires an external trigger ( via CC1). Both exposure time and line period are defined by this Trig signal : ➢ The exposure time during the low level of the Trig Signal Label Typical Unit...
