Introduction

Introduction

This AVT Goldeye Technical Manual describes in depth the technical specifica­tions, dimensions, all pixel formats, image processing, basic and advanced
parameters and related subjects.

Note



Please read through this manual carefully.

We assume that you have read already the How to install a GigE
camera (Bigeye/Pearleye/Goldeye) and that you have

installed the hardware and software on your PC or laptop (GigE
interface card, cables etc.). For Goldeye CL-... cameras refer to
the documentation of the grabber manufacturer.

Manual overview

This manual overview outlines the contents of each chapter of this manual.

•Chapter Contacting Allied Vision Technologies on page 6 lists AVT contact
data (phone numbers and URLs) for both:

– Technical information / ordering
– Commercial information

•Chapter Introduction on page 7 (this chapter) gives you the document his-
tory, a manual overview (short description of each chapter) and conven­tions used in this manual (styles and symbols). Furthermore you learn
how to get more information on how to install hardware, available AVT
software (incl. documentation) and where to get it.

•Chapter Conformity on page 12 gives you information about conformity of
AVT cameras (CE, FCC, RoHS).

•Chapter Specifications on page 13 lists camera details and measured spec-
tral transmission diagrams for each camera type.

Table 1: Document history

Goldeye Technical Manual V2.2.0

Introduction

•Chapter Camera dimensions on page 22 provides CAD drawings of stan-
dard housing models (2D drawings), tripod adapter and cross sections of
the mounts.

•Chapter Start up on page 30 describes the first steps to get the camera
into operation: camera control signals and camera controls as well as
adjusting the image process.

•Chapter Camera interfaces on page 36 describes the control junction (I/O
pin assignment), inputs / outputs and trigger features.

•Chapter Image processing on page 54 describes the function of the
Goldeye P-.../Goldeye CL-... firmware. It is related to the individual
modules of image processing and shows in what way the user can control
these modules via the serial interface.

•Chapter Basic parameters and commands on page 59 describes the basic
configuration options and general commands available for the user, being
important for the operation of an ex factory preconfigured camera. Most
probably the information stated here will be sufficient for most of the
users.

•Chapter Advanced parameters and commands on page 64 describes the
advanced configuration of the Goldeye P-.../Goldeye CL-... models. For
the control of an ex-factory set up camera the intervention within the
parameters stated here or rather the use of the mentioned commands is
only necessary in exceptional cases.

• The appendix: Chapter Command reference on page 79 describes the
general command reference of the Goldeye P-.../Goldeye CL-... firmware.

•Chapter Index on page 97 gives you quick access to all relevant data in
this manual.

camera and is written for experts.

Getting started For a quick guide how to get started read: How to install a GigE camera

(Bigeye/Pearleye/Goldeye). For Goldeye CL-... cameras refer to the

documentation of the grabber manufacturer.

Note

Please read through this manual carefully before operating

Caution

Caution

Vacuum

Do not loosen the two hexagon socket screws (M 5) in the front
plate.

The vacuum area may get leaky (Cool models only).

Warranty

The warranty becomes void in case of unauthorized tampering
or any manipulations not approved by the manufacturer.

Electrostatic discharge

The camera contains sensitive electronic components which
can be destroyed by electrostatic discharge.

Use sufficient grounding to minimize the risk of damage.

Models with Camera Link interface (Goldeye CL-...): First
connect CL camera and grabber with Camera Link data cable,
then supply power to the CL camera.

Environmental conditions



Note



Operate the camera in dry and dust free environment.

Regarding the signal quality of the camera it is an advantage to
operate the camera under constant ambient air temperature
(~20 °C).

Beneath or above 20 °C ambient temperature a sufficient
heating or cooling may be necessary.

Cooled camera models (Goldeye xy- ... Cool)

The red LED L3 at the backside examinates the sensor peltier
cooling state. Also register T has this function. If L3
permanently lights up or rather the lowest bit of T is set, the
sensor has a temperature which is beyond the optimum range.
In this case an additional heating or cooling has to be
provided.

Warm-up period

Depending on the prevailing environmental conditions, some
time might pass after the camera start, until the image quality
reaches its optimum.

A warm up period of 20 minutes is recommended.

Start up

Start up

Depending on the camera interface a Camera Link frame grabber or a a Gigabit
Ethernet port (1000Base-T) on the host computer is necessary.

1. Connect the camera with the appropriate data cable to the computer.

2. Plug the 15-pin connector of the power supply to the camera.

3. Switch on the power supply.

Camera Link interface

The camera is controlled in two different ways: direct camera control signals
(called CC1 to CC4) on the one hand and more complex commands transferred
over a serial data interface on the other hand. For applying serial commands to
the camera, a serial terminal program can be used.

Gigabit Ethernet interface

The camera functions are controlled via GigE Vision features, which are inter­nally mapped to the CC1 to CC4 signals or the corresponding serial commands.

Refer to the corresponding chapters to learn more about GigE feature mapping.

Note



For more information see:

•Chapter GigE Vision feature mapping to serial commands
on page 91

•Chapter GigE Vision feature reference for AVT Goldeye

cameras on page 92

Direct camera control signals

A short survey of the CC signals is given below for users who already have some
experience in using Camera Link equipment and who plan to use the Goldeye
camera with their self-developed software.

Some of the CC signals can also be externally applied to the 15-pin D-SUB
control jack.

Goldeye cameras with Gigabit Ethernet interface use the same CC signals , but
they are mapped to corresponding GigE Vision features.
