This text file can be downloaded from the camera and forwarded to Teledyne DALSA Technical Customer support team to aid in diagnosis of any reported issues. See Saving & Restoring Camera Setup Configurations for details on downloading the Camera Data file.
  • Page 109 User Pattern. When selected, the camera will first output all pixel values to be half full scale. The user can then generate a custom test pattern by uploading PRNU coefficients that appropriately manipulate the half scale data to achieve the desired pattern. See section Custom Flat Field Coefficients for details. Troubleshooting Guide • 103 Linea HS Series Monochrome Cameras...

  • Page 113 The greater the speed variation, the lower the target speed needs to be to avoid over-speed conditions. If the speed variation can be reduced by eliminating the backlash in the transport mechanism and / or optimizing the motor controller characteristics, then a higher target speed will be achievable.

  • Page 118 Bare Image Evaluation Before you perform the FFC, Teledyne DALSA recommends that you to try to improve the bare image quality first: a good bare image will improve the quality of the FFC. A bare image is obtained using your bright target with no gain applied.
  • Page 119 SNR perspective. All gains are digital multipliers and, as such, the gain scales up signal and noise proportionally. Use this method only as long as the SNR meets your application requirements. Keep the following in mind: • Ensure that the camera’s temperature is in a stable condition.
