Possible values range from 0.1 to 64.0 Hz for Genie M640 in full scan mode. (Note: the Sapera SDK specifies the frame rate in milliHertz). The maximum frame rate increases by using binning (see below) or partial scan (see "Partial Scan—Window ROI"...
  • Page 44: Gain And Black Level Controls

    Gain and Black Level Controls The Genie series of monochrome cameras provide gain and black level adjustments for the analog signal from each CCD pixel, before the analog to digital conversion. The software gain and black level controls can make small compensations to the acquisition in situations where lighting varies and the lens iris can not be easily adjusted.
  • Page 45: Partial Scan-Window Roi

    Partial Scan—Window ROI Partial Scan (vertical cropping) The Partial Scan mode, also know as vertical cropping, reduces the number of video lines grabbed for a frame. By not scanning the full vertical area of the sensor, the maximum possible acquisition frame rate is proportionately increased (for examples see table below).

  • Page 47: Partial Scan (Horizontal Cropping)

    Partial Scan (horizontal cropping) Genie also can crop the acquisition horizontally by grabbing less pixels on each horizontal line. Additionally a horizontal offset value will start the grab from any pixel count, as shown in the following figure. Note that horizontal cropping does not increase the maximum frame rate due to the CCD readout architecture.

Below is the CamExpert dialog and parameter descriptions follow. Parameter Description Pixel Format For the Genie Monochrome series, the image buffer format is Monochrome 8-bit or 10-bit.
  • Page 50: Binning

    Binning Binning is the process where the charge on two (or more) adjacent pixels is combined. This results in increased light sensitivity since there is twice the sensor area to capture photons. The sensor spatial resolution is reduced but the improved low-light sensitivity plus lower signal-noise ratio may solve a difficult imaging situation.

  • Page 52: Exposure Controls

    Exposure Controls Exposure Control modes define the method and timing of how to control the sensor integration period. The integration period is the amount of time the sensor is exposed to incoming light before the video frame data is transmitted to the controlling computer. Exposure control is defined as the start of exposure and exposure duration.

    Strobe and General Outputs Genie provides two sets of opto-coupled outputs (see "External Outputs" on page 115). These can be used as a strobe signal to control lighting or to generate programmable pulses when specific events are generated by the camera. They can also be set to a static state (close or open) by the application.
  • Page 64 Open and Close Output Settings You can open and close the output circuit using software rather than hardware events, to control external devices. To control the output setting with Sapera LT see "Output Control via Sapera LT or GigE Vision Compliant Applications" on page 67.

  • Page 70: Flat Field (Image Shading) Correction

    Flat Field (Image Shading) Correction Image Shading correction, also known as Flat Field Correction is the process of eliminating small gain differences between pixels in a sensor, eliminate sensor hotspots by automatically doing pixel replacement, and also to compensate for light distortion caused by a lens. That sensor when exposed to a uniformly lit field will have no gray level differences between pixels when calibrated flat field correction is applied to the image.
  • Page 71: Verify A Dark Acquisition

    Verify a Dark Acquisition Close the camera lens iris and cover the lens with a lens cap. Using CamExpert, click on the grab button and then the histogram button. The following figure shows a typical histogram for a Genie grabbing a very dark image. Important: In this example, the average pixel value for the frame is close to black.
  • Page 72: Flat Field Correction Calibration Procedure

    Important: In this example, the average pixel value for the frame is bright gray. Also note that sensors may show a much higher maximum or a much lower minimum pixel value due to one or more "hot or dead pixels". The sensor specification accounts for a small number of hot, stuck, or dead pixels (pixels that do not react to light over the full dynamic range specified for that sensor).
  • Page 73 Flat Field Calibration Window The Flat Field calibration window provides a three step process to acquire two reference images and then save the flat field correction data for the Genie used. To aid in determining if the reference images are valid, a histogram tool is provided so that the user can review the images used for the correction data.
  • Page 74: Flat Field Correction Control Via Sapera Lt Or Gige Vision Compliant Applications

    Click on Acquire White Image. The flat field demo will grab video frames, analyze the • pixel gray level spread, and present the statistics. The captured gray level for all pixels should be greater than 128 but not saturated. If the histogram shows a good grab accept the image as the white reference.
  • Page 75: Image Flip

    Image Flip Horizontal The Genie supports a software controlled horizontal flip function as shown in the following figure. The process is done in hardware with no loss of acquisition frame rate. Horizontal Flip Vertical As shown in the following figure, a vertical flip function is simply accomplished by mounting the Genie camera upside down and by programming the camera to do a horizontal flip.
  • Page 76: Internal Image Test Patterns

    Internal Image Test Patterns The Genie camera includes a built in test pattern generator that can be used to confirm camera Ethernet connections or driver installations, without the need for a camera lens or proper lighting. The pattern generator inserts video just after the sensor A/D converter, therefore Genie processing such as the LUT act on the generator images or on sensor images.

    The focal point is the point at which the image of an infinitely distant object is brought to ′ focus. The effective focal length (f ) is the distance from the second principal point to the second focal point. The back focal length (BFL) is the distance from the image side of the lens surface to the second focal point.

  • Page 122: Sensor Handling Instructions

    Sensor Handling Instructions This section reviews proper procedures for handling, cleaning, or storing the Genie camera. Specifically the Genie CCD sensor needs to be kept clean and away from static discharge to maintain design performance. Electrostatic Discharge and the CCD Sensor Cameras contain charge-coupled device (CCD) image sensors, which are metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) devices and are susceptible to damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD).

  • Page 126: Back Focal Variance When Using A Filter

    Back Focal Variance when using a Filter Inserting a filter between a lens and sensor (as when using a C-mount filter), changes the focal point of the lens used. A variable focus lens simply needs to be adjusted, but in the case of a fixed focus lens, the changed focal point needs correction.
  • Page 127: Computer Requirements For Genie Cameras

    Older laptop computers with built in GigE network adapters may still not be able to • stream full frame rates from Genie. Thorough testing is required with any laptop computer to determine the maximum frame rate possible (refer to the Teledyne DALSA Network Imaging package manual). Ethernet Switch Requirements When there is more than one device on the same network or a camera-to-PC separation greater than 100 meters, an Ethernet switch is required.
  • Page 128: Ethernet To Fiber-Optic Interface Requirements

    Ethernet to Fiber-Optic Interface Requirements In cases of camera-to-PC separations of more than 100 meters but an Ethernet switch is not desired, a fiber-optic media converter can be used.

    In multiple NIC systems where the NIC for the Genie is using LLA mode, ensure that no other NIC is in or switches to LLA mode. It is preferable that the Teledyne DALSA DHCP server is enabled on the NIC used with the Genie instead of LLA mode, which prevents errors associated with multiple NIC ports using LLA mode.
