Page 7: Introduction
MC13xx Users Manual Rev. 1.19 2 Introduction The CMOS high speed camera MC13xx is a high resolution camera with 1280•1024 pixel. Benefits of CMOS technology are high speed, random access to pixels with free programmability and low power. The camera uses industry-standard C-Mount lenses. The sensor diagonal is 1,25“ with square pixels measuring 12µm. -

. For more than one window MC13xx offers a separate function, which allows to select more fields of iew with different shapes. It can be adjusted by a selection mask consisting of 16.384 read tiles. Each tile has a size of 10(H) x 8(V). - Page 19 :r8200 and :r8000 will enable and disable the function.

Exposure time table 6-1 6.8.1 Type of exposure The MC13xx can expose the images synchronous or asynchronous. An external signal on CC1 can be used to synchronize MC13xx cameras to each other or to an external event. 6.8.1.1 Synchronous exposure Synchronous exposure means that the next image is exposed, while the current image is output. -

EXP (CC1) signal. The time between two consecutive EXP (CC1) edges can be indefinite. Frame rate = 1/(exposure time + image output time). Image output time equals the selected free running frame rate. Use MC13xx camera configuration tool for selection. The following registers select exposure type: Register Bits :r6[7..4] :r7[8]... -
Page 23: Synchronous Operation Without Shutter
6.8.5 External synchronisation with synchronous exposure MC13xx cameras can be synchronized to an external signal that is input on the EXP (CC1) signal. The strobe output signal of a MC13xx “master camera” can be used for that purpose. The attached frame grabber must provide the connection of an external input to the CC1 signal to the camera. -
Page 24: Frame Rate With Asynchronous Exposure
Make sure that a sync signal is present on EXP/CC1 before this command is issued or the “trigger on CC1” button is pressed on the MC13xx camera configuration tool. The polarity of the sync signal can be selected with the _Polarity_of_EXP-signal 6.8.6 Frame rate with asynchronous exposure... -
Page 25: Firmware
6.9 Firmware 6.9.1 Update Firmware MC13xx’s logic is integrated into a FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), which’s configuration is stored in an EEPROM. Upon power up or a command the FPGA is loaded with this configuration. Con- figuration data can be downloaded via the serial interface of Camera Link®. Mikrotron may provide configuration files (*.ibf) on request. -
Page 26: Digital Shading Correction
For the best possible image quality even at the sensors clock limit, and non uniform lighting, the MC13xx can store gray levels along one line and subtract these from all lines of an image. To setup shading correction set: :r6[1] = 0. -
Page 27: Test Image
MC13xx has a 16-Bit image counter whose count can replace the first two pixel of every image. The image counter is cleared with every low to high transition of r7[1], the camera enable bit. It is incre- mented by every new image. -

1. Wait for an active edge on the EXP input. 2. The MC13xx exposes a line, that was chosen with :rC[9..0] and is called trigger line, for an exposure time defined by :r2[9..0]. It compares the intensity of a group of 10 pixel along the selected trigger line against an adjustable threshold (:rA [7..0], Range: 255..0). - Page 29 Configuration MC13xx Users Manual Rev. 1.19 6.18.2.3 Rightmost pixel of the trigger line The end of the trigger line is determined by the value of register r9.

Page 30: Imageblitz® Registers
Configuration MC13xx Users Manual Rev. 1.19 6.18.2.6 Release Inhibit The Release Inhibit function is defined with :rD . It tells ImageBLITZ how often sequentially the “re- lease condition” must not be met, before an image is output. This feature allows to trigger an object only once on the dark- to bright edge of the scene. This avoids retriggering, once the trigger condition was met and the object is still visible within the triggerline after the image has been output. -
