Introduction

Before operation

Target group This Technical Manual is the guide to detailed technical information of the

camera and is written for experts.

Getting started For a quick guide on how to get started, read the GigE Installation Guide first.

Heat dissipation

Due to the small packaging and high speed of Mako cameras, take care to ensure
that the housing temperature of the camera does not exceed 45 °C. The follow­ing are general guidelines for heat dissipation:

• Mount the camera on a heat sink such as a metal bracket.

• Lenses, when attached to a camera, act as a heat-sink and help reduce
housing temperature.

• Ensure sufficient air flow. Use a fan if necessary.

Camera cleaning instructions

Camera cleaning instructions

This chapter describes safety instructions/cautions valid for Mako cameras in
case of cleaning lenses, optical filters/protection glass or sensors.

Warranty

Avoiding the necessity of camera cleaning

When screwing/unscrewing the camera lens or dust cap, hold the camera with
the C-Mount / CS-Mount opening towards the floor as shown in figure 1. This
minimizes the possibility of any contaminants falling on the glass surface.
Always store cameras and lenses with dust-caps installed.

Note



• Please read these instructions before you contact your
Allied Vision camera dealer for assistance.

• Ask your Allied Vision camera dealer if you are not famil­iar with the procedures described below.

Caution



Warranty precautions

• To ensure your warranty remains in effect:
– Do not open the camera housing.
– Follow instructions described below.
– Use only optical quality tissue/cloth if you must clean

a lens or filter.

– Use only optics cleaner (60% ethyl alcohol, 40%

ether). Never use aggressive cleaners like benzine or
spirit. Such cleaners may destroy the surface.

– Do not use compressed air which can push dust

into camera and lens.

• Allied Vision does not warranty against any physical
damage to the sensor/filter/protection glass or lenses.
Use utmost care when cleaning optical components.

Camera cleaning instructions

Is it an impurity? – Identifying impurities

If you observe any image artefacts in your video preview of your Mako camera
you may have impurities either on the lens, filter/protection glass, or on the
sensor protection glass. Every Mako camera is cleaned prior to sealing and ship­ment; however, impurities may develop due to handling or unclean environ­ments.

As shown in figure 2, impurities (dust, particles or fluids) on the sensor or
optical components appear as a dark area, patch or spot on the image and
remain fixed in the preview window while you rotate the camera over the target.

Do not confuse this with a pixel defect which appears as a distinct point. Parti­cles can either rest loosely or can be more or less stuck to the optical surface.

Where is the impurity? – Locating impurities

Before you dismount the lens you should find out if the impurity is on the filter,
lens, or sensor. Therefore, you should capture a uniform image (e.g. a white
sheet of paper) with the camera. The affected optical surface is identified when
a suspected optical component is moved and the dirt follows this movement.

1. If you move only the lens (not the camera) and the impurity moves as
well, the impurity is on the lens.

2. If you move the IR cut filter/protection glass window and the impurity
moves as well:

Figure 2: Image with tiny dust on the filter (left) and dust on the sensor (right)

Mako Technical Manual V3.0.0

12

Camera cleaning instructions

Please carefully remove the filter/protection glass and clean it on both
sides using the techniques explained below.

3. If the impurity is neither on the lens nor the IR cut filter/protection glass,
it is probably on the sensor.

Cleaning Instructions

Perform all cleaning operations (lenses, filter/protection glass, and sensor) in
a dust-free clean-room. The optical components are very fragile so it is import­ant to avoid touching them with your fingers or any hard material.

1. Unplug the camera from any power supply before cleaning.

2. Apply a small amount of optics cleaner (60% ethyl alcohol, 40% ether) to
a clean, new lens cleaning tissue.

Acceptable material includes medical-grade sterile optical cotton, or lens
tissue that is chemically pure and free from silicones and other additives.

– Do not use cosmetic cotton.
– Do not use consumer eyeglass cleaning cloths pre-treated with silicon.

The cotton or lens tissue should be moist, but not dripping. Please hold
the camera away from your body to avoid falling particles like flakes from
skin on the sensor. Hold the camera sensor diagonally upwards.

Note



• Taking out the filter requires special care.

• Ask your dealer to help you if you are not
confident with the procedure.

Camera cleaning instructions

3. Wipe the glass surface with a
spiral motion from the center
to the rim. Normally, several
spiral wipes are recommended.
Wipe only on glass avoiding
contact to metal surfaces,
because microscopic dirt could
be released and could cause
scratches on the glass.

4. When you've finished cleaning,
examine the surface in a strong
light. Take an out-of-focus
picture of a flat, illuminated
surface to see if any dirt or dust
remains.

5. If dust spots remain, repeat
this procedure using new clean
lens tissue (as described
above).

6. If you want to clean your camera with compressed air despite of all the
warnings:

7. Gently blow the impurities off with dust-filtered, oil-free air (< 1 bar).
Using ionized air helps to remove any dirt stuck to the optical component
because of static electricity.

Caution



• Never wipe lenses with dry swabs or tissue—this causes
scratches.

• Do not use any disposable cotton cosmetic swabs; they
may contain contaminants.

Caution



• Use an air blower/compressed air only if you are familiar
with cleaning a camera with this instrument.

• Compressed air may push dust into cameras and
lenses. Therefore keep the pressure at a moderate
strength only:

– The pressure at the tube should be less than 1 bar (15

psi)

– Operating distance: 5–30 cm

Note



If dust spots remain after cleaning twice,
please contact your Allied Vision dealer.

Camera interfaces

Gigabit Ethernet port

The Gigabit Ethernet port conforms to the IEEE 802.31000BASE-T standard for
Gigabit Ethernet over copper. To prevent EMI (electromagnetic interference)
and for best performance, Category 6 (or higher) cables with S/STP shielding
and connectors are recommended. Applications with longer cable lengths or
harsh EMI conditions require Category 7 (or higher) cables.

Mako I/O connector pin assignment

The General Purpose I/O port uses a Hirose HR25-7TR-8PA(73) connector on the
camera side. The mating cable connector is Hirose HR25-7TP-8S.

Note



• Cable lengths up to 100 m are supported.

• The 8-pin RJ-45 jack provides a pin assignment according
to the Ethernet standard (IEEE 802.3 1000BASE-T).

• All Mako cameras are PoE capable (802.3af/at).

• If both interfaces are used for power (I/O and GigE con­nector via PoE), the camera will only use the power from
the I/O connector.

Accessories

• Cables are available from Allied Vision:

http://www.alliedvisiontec.com/emea/products/
accessories/gige-accessories.html

Control signals

The inputs and outputs of the camera can be configured by software. The differ­ent modes are described below.

Inputs

Input/output pin control

All input and output signals that pass the I/O connector are controlled by the
I/O strobe commands.

Outputs

Output features are configured by software. Any signal can be placed on any
output. The main features of the output signals are described below:

Figure 39: Input block diagram

Signal Description

GPO Configured to be a general purpose output, control is assigned to

SyncOutGpoLevels.

AcquisitionTriggerReady Active once the camera has been recognized by the host PC and is ready to start

acquisition.

FrameTriggerReady Active when the camera is in a state that will accept the next frame trigger.

FrameTrigger Active when an image has been initiated to start. This is a logic trigger

internal to the camera, which is initiated by an external trigger or software
trigger event.

Exposing Exposing – active for the duration of sensor exposure.

FrameReadout Active during frame readout, i.e., the transferring of image data from the CCD

to the camera memory.

Camera interfaces

Trigger rules

•The end of exposure will always trigger the next readout.

•The end of exposure must always end after the current readout.

•The start of exposure must always correspond with the interline time if

readout is true.

• Exposure start delay equals the readout time minus the registered expo-

sure time.

Triggering during the Idle State

For applications requiring the shortest possible trigger latency and the smallest
possible trigger jitter, the user trigger signal should be applied when imaging
is false and idle is true.

Triggering during the Readout State

For applications requiring the fastest triggering cycle time whereby the camera
image sensor is exposing and reading out simultaneously, the user trigger sig­nal should be applied as soon as a valid trigger ready is detected.

In this case, trigger latency and trigger jitter can be up to 1 line time since expo­sure must always begin on an Interline boundary.

Trigger latency Time delay between the user trigger and the start

of exposure
Trigger jitter Error in the trigger latency time
Trigger ready Indicates to the user that the camera will accept

the next trigger
Registered exposure time Exposure time value currently stored in the camera

memory
Exposure start delay Registered exposure time subtracted from the

Readout time and indicates when the next expo-

sure cycle can begin such that the exposure will

end after the current readout

Interline time Time between sensor row readout cycles
Imaging High when the camera image sensor is either

exposing and/or reading out data
Idle High if the camera image sensor is not exposing

and/or reading out data

Note



The user trigger pulse width should be at least three times the
width of the trigger latency as indicated in Specifications
chapter on page 16.

Description of the data path

Frame memory

An image is normally captured and transported in consecutive steps. The image
is taken, read out from the sensor, digitized and sent over the Gigabit Ethernet
network. Mako cameras are equipped with a RAM. Table 29 shows how many
frames can be stored by each model.

The memory operates according to the FIFO (first in, first out) principle. This
makes addressing for individual images unnecessary.

The number of frames (StreamHoldCapacity) depends on
resolution, pixel format, and packet size. Stated number
of frames is typical for full resolution, Mono8/Bayer8,
and GevSCPSPacketSize = 8192.

Resolution and ROI frame rates

Resolution and ROI frame rates

This section charts the resulting frame rate from changing sensor height from
full image to a single line. Unless otherwise noted, sensors do not give an
increase in readout speed with a reduction in width.

Note



• Data was generated using StreamBytesPerSecond = 124
MB/s (full bandwidth) and an 8-bit pixel format. Frame

rates may be lower if using network hardware incapable
of 124 MB/s.

• ROIs are taken as center image for maximum speed
advantage, where feature OffsetY = (full sensor height –
ROI height)/2.

• BinningVertical is horizontal row summing on CCD
before readout. The frame rate for an ROI at the same
effective height as binning will be slower because the CCD
still needs to read out the “fast readout rows” in ROI
mode.
