    Functionality This chapter serves as an overview of the camera configuration modes and explains camera features. The goal is to describe what can be done with the camera. The setup of the cameras is explained in later chapters. 5.1 Reduction of Image Size 5.1.1 Region of Interest (ROI) Some applications do not need full image resolution.

  • Page 32: Maximal Frame Rate

    5 Functionality 5.1.2 Maximal Frame Rate The maximal frame rate of the camera depends on the camera settings. The following factors influence the maximal frame rate (see also Table 5.1): • The length of the exposure time: A shorter exposure time can lead to an increase in the maximal frame rate.

  • Page 33: Trigger And Strobe

    Exposure time >= read out time When the exposure time is equal or bigger than the read out time then the maximal frame rate depends only on the exposure time (see Fig. 5.2). MaxFrameRate = 1 / ExposureTime F r a m e < n > F r a m e <...
  • Page 34 5 Functionality TriggerMode = Off. In Constant Frame Rate mode (AcquisitionFrameRateEnable = True), exposure starts after a user-specified time has elapsed from the previous exposure start so that the resulting frame rate is equal to the value of AcquisitionFrameRate. Software Trigger The trigger signal is applied through a software command (TriggerSoftware in category AcquisitionControl).

  • Page 35: Trigger And Acquisitionmode

    Figure 5.4: Trigger Inputs - Multiple GigE solution 5.2.3 Trigger and AcquisitionMode The relationship between AcquisitionMode and TriggerMode is shown in Table 5.2. When TriggerMode=Off, then the frame rate depends on the AcquisitionFrameRateEnable property (see also under Free running in Section 5.2.2). The ContinuousRecording and ContinousReadout modes can be used if more than one camera is connected to the same network and need to shoot images si- multaneously.
  • Page 36 5 Functionality AcquisitionMode TriggerMode After the command AcquisitionStart is executed: Continuous Camera is in free-running mode. Acquisition can be stopped by executing AcquisitionStop command. Continuous Camera is ready to accept triggers according to the TriggerSource property. Acquisition and trigger acceptance can be stopped by executing AcquisitionStop command.

  • Page 37: Exposure Time Control

    5.2.4 Exposure Time Control Depending on the trigger mode, the exposure time can be determined either by the camera or by the trigger signal itself: Camera-controlled Exposure time In this trigger mode the exposure time is defined by the camera. For an active high trigger signal, the camera starts the exposure with a positive trigger edge and stops it when the preprogrammed exposure time has elapsed.
  • Page 38 5 Functionality results then from the synchronous design of the FPGA state machines and from to trigger offset requirement to start an exposure at a fixed point from the start of the read out of a row. The exposure time t is controlled with an internal exposure time controller.

  • Page 39: Trigger Delay

    The falling edge of the trigger pulse is delayed by the time t which results from the d iso input signal isolator. This signal is clocked into the FPGA which leads to a jitter of t . The pulse is jitter then delayed by t by the user defined value which can be configured via camera...

  • Page 42: A/B Trigger For Incremental Encoder

    5 Functionality 5.2.9 A/B Trigger for Incremental Encoder An incremental encoder with A/B outputs can be used to synchronize the camera triggers to the speed of a conveyor belt. These A/B outputs can be directly connected to the camera and appropriate triggers are generated inside the camera.
  • Page 43 There is a bug in the single A/B trigger mode in some camera revisions (see Ap- pendix B, A/B Trigger Bug). In this case when the encoder position moves back and forth by a small amount, the EncoderCounter is incremented and the decre- ment is sometimes omitted, leading to a wrong EncoderPosition indication in the camera.
  • Page 44 5 Functionality A/B Trigger Debounce A debouncing logic can be enabled by setting ABTriggerDeBounce=True. It is implemented with a watermark value of the EncoderCounter (see Fig. 5.11). Suppose ABTriggerDirection=fwd, then the watermark value is increased with the increments of the EncoderCounter. If EncoderCounter decreases, e.g.
  • Page 45 A/B Trigger Divider if ABTriggerDivider>1 then not all internally generated triggers are applied to the camera logic. E.g. If ABTriggerDivider=2, then every second trigger is applied to the camera (see Fig. 5.13).

  • Page 46: Missed Trigger Counters

    5 Functionality By default the Encoder Position is only generated when TriggerMode=On and TriggerSource=ABTrigger. When the property ABTriggerCountAlways=True, then the Encoder Position is generated regardless of the trigger mode. 5.2.10 Missed Trigger Counters The missed trigger counters are important tools to make sure that the frequency of an external trigger can be processed by the camera.

  • Page 47: Trigger Acquisition

    The setting Counter_ResetCounterMode=Continuous resets the counters on every occurrence of an active edge of the reset source without the requirement to arm the device first. This setting is suited if the reset source signal is different than the camera trigger. The active edge of the reset input can be set by the property Counter_ResetCounterSourceInvert.

    6.5.6 I/O Wiring The Photonfocus cameras include electrically isolated inputs and outputs. Take great care when wiring trigger and strobe signals to the camera, specially over big distances (a few meters) and in noisy environments. Improper wiring can introduce ground loops which lead to malfunction of triggers and strobes.
  • Page 68 6 Hardware Interface Common Grounds with Star Wiring Ground loops can be avoided using "star wiring", i.e. the wiring of power and ground connections originate from one "star point" which is typically a power supply. Fig. 6.14 shows a schematic of the star-wiring concept. Fig.
