It is recommended that CAT5E or CAT6 compatible cabling and connectors be used for best performance. Cable lengths up to 100m are supported.
  • Page 9 GC650 User Manual 70-0020A-D Sync Input 1 and Sync Input 2 These input signals allow the camera to be synchronized to some external event. The camera can be programmed to trigger on the rising edge, falling edge, both edges or level of this signal. The camera can also be programmed to capture an image at some programmable delay time after the trigger event.

Signal Ground Signal Ground must be connected to the user’s external circuit ground if Sync Input 2 or Sync Output 2 is to be used or if the RS-232 port is to be used.
  • Page 11: Cleaning The Sensor

    GC650 User Manual 70-0020A-D Cleaning the Sensor DO NOT CONTACT CLEAN SENSOR UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. Identifying Debris Debris on the image sensor or optical components will appear as a darkened area or smudge on the image that does not move as the camera is moved. Do not confuse this with a pixel defect which will appear as a distinct point.

  • Page 13: Camera Installation

    GC650 User Manual 70-0020A-D Camera Installation Computer Interface The Prosilica GC Series cameras will work with any Ethernet network card; however Prosilica strongly recommends using Gigabit Ethernet components that support Jumbo Frames. A Jumbo Frame is loosely defined as a frame size greater than 1500 bytes however typical Jumbo Frames are around 9000 bytes.
  • Page 14 GC650 User Manual 70-0020A-D Gigabit Ethernet Setup for Windows o Install network card in computer. o Boot the PC and cancel the “Found new Hardware Wizard” window that may appear when Windows detects the new card. o Install the driver that came with the network card.
  • Page 15 GC650 User Manual 70-0020A-D o Select the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) check box and then select Properties. See Figure 6. Network card TCP/IP address.. Select the Use the following IP address and enter an IP address of 169. 254. x. y, where x and y can be any number. Press the TAB key after entering the IP address and the subnet mask will automatically be entered.
  • Page 16 GC650 User Manual 70-0020A-D Figure 7. Turn off Firewall. o Return to the Gige Local Properties window as in Figure 5. Select the Advanced tab as in Figure 7 and disable the Firewall for this device. Click OK to save changes.
  • Page 17 GC650 User Manual 70-0020A-D Installing GigE Viewer for Testing o The latest Viewer software can be downloaded from http://www.prosilica.com/support.htm. o Run the GigE Viewer Installer.exe. This will install the Prosilica Digital Camera drivers as well as the Prosilica GigE Viewer application program.

    GC650 User Manual 70-0020A-D System Optimization o Open the Network Connections Dialog as follows: From the Windows desktop select start, then select Control Panel, then double click on the Network Connections icon. Double click the relevant network card listed or right-click the relevant network card and select Properties.
  • Page 19 GC650 User Manual 70-0020A-D Figure 10. Network card advanced settings. o Set Maximum Frame Size or Jumbo Frames to the maximum possible value. A typical value is 9000. If the list contains a property called Receive Descriptors, then change this value to its maximum value.
  • Page 20: Trouble Shooting

    GC650 User Manual 70-0020A-D Trouble Shooting Is the camera getting power? The right LED is the camera power indicator. If unlit, check the power adaptor. If possible, swap with one that is known to work. If using a custom power adaptor, be sure the adaptor and wire gauge is rated to at least 500 mA.
  • Page 21 GC650 User Manual 70-0020A-D The following example is not on the same Subnet: NIC IP 169.250.23.2 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0, CamIP 169.254.13.0 Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0. This can happen if you use a non AutoIP range on your NIC and it doesn’t have access to a DHCP server. Either change your NIC IP to be in the AutoIP range, or fix the camera IP address to be on the same subnet as your NIC.

    GC650 User Manual 70-0020A-C Notes on Triggering Definitions o User Trigger is the trigger signal applied by the user. o Logic Trigger is the trigger signal seen by the camera internal logic. o Tpd is the propagation delay between the User Trigger and the Logic Trigger.
  • Page 30 GC650 User Manual 70-0020A-C Triggering during the Readout State o For applications requiring the fastest triggering cycle time whereby the camera image sensor is exposing and reading out simultaneously, then the User Trigger signal should be applied as soon as a valid Trigger Ready is detected.
