Pike The Pike is a fast IEEE 1394b camera for demanding applications. Numerous
pre-processing functions produce an outstanding image quality. Pike cameras operate with very high frame rates and offer much more real-time functions than specified in the IIDC standards.
They can even emulate traditional frame grabber functions.
IEEE 1394b IEEE 1394b provides a plug & play interface standard with high-speed, deter-
ministic data transmission. The camera communication protocol is standardized and can easily be integrated into your application
GOF Pike cameras are available both with two copper ports (for daisy-chaining)
and with copper/GOF (glass optical fiber) ports.
Advantages of GOF:
• 800 Mbit/s over 400 meters and more
• No additional repeaters required
• Transmission of light instead of electricity: No ground problems and no
interference with electromagnetic fields.
Image applications Allied Vision Technologies can provide users with a range of products that
meet almost all the requirements of a very wide range of image applications.
FireWire The industry standard IEEE 1394 (FireWire or i.Link) facilitates the simplest
computer compatibility and bidirectional data transfer using the plug & play
process. Further development of the IEEE 1394 standard has already made
800 Mbit/second possible. Investment in this standard is therefore secure for
the future; each further development takes into account compatibility with
the preceding standard, and vice versa, meaning that IEEE 1394b is reversecompatible with IEEE 1394a. Your applications will grow as technical
progress advances.

FireWire
Overview
FireWire provides one of the most comprehensive, high-performance, costeffective solutions platforms. FireWire offers very impressive throughput at
very affordable prices.
Definition
FireWire (also known as i.Link or IEEE 1394) is a personal computer and
digital video serial bus interface standard, offering high-speed communications and isochronous real-time data services. FireWire has low implementation costs and a simplified and adaptable cabling system.
Figure 1: FireWire Logo
IEEE 1394 standards
FireWire was developed by Apple Computer in the late 1990s, after work
defining a slower version of the interface by the IEEE 1394 working committee in the 1980s. Apple's development was completed in 1995. It is defined
in IEEE standard 1394 which is currently a composite of three documents:
• the original IEEE Std. 1394-1995
• the IEEE Std. 1394a-2000 amendment
• the IEEE Std. 1394b-2002 amendment
FireWire is used to connect digital cameras, especially in industrial systems
for machine vision.
Advantages Advantages over USB are:
• Faster effective speed
• Higher power distribution capabilities
• Multi-camera applications are easier to set up than in USB.

FireWire
Why use FireWire?
Digital cameras with on-board FireWire (IEEE 1394a or 1394b) communications conforming to the IIDC standard (V1.3 or V1.31) have created costeffective and powerful solutions options being used for thousands of different applications around the world. FireWire is a robust digital interface for
industrial applications for many reasons, including:
• Guaranteed bandwidth features to ensure fail-safe communications
• Interoperability with multiple different camera types and vendors
• Diverse camera powering options, including single-cable solutions up to
45 W
• Effective multiple-camera solutions
• Large variety of FireWire accessories for industrial applications
• Availability of repeaters and optical fibre cabling
• Forwards and backward compatibility blending 1394a and 1394b
• Both real-time (isochronous) and demand-driven asynchronous data
transmission capabilities
FireWire in detail
Serial bus
Briefly summarized, FireWire is a very effective way to utilize a low-cost
serial bus, through a standardized communications protocol, that establishes
packetized data transfer between two or more devices. FireWire offers real
time isochronous bandwidth for image transfer with guaranteed low latency.
It also offers asynchronous data transfer for controlling camera parameters,
such as gain and shutter, on the fly. As illustrated in the diagram below,
these two modes can co-exist by using priority time slots for video data
transfer and the remaining time slots for control data transfer.

FireWire
Cycle Sync: 1394b
Parallel arbitration, handled by BOSS, can eliminate gaps
Figure 2: 1394a data transmission
In case of 1394b no gaps are needed due to parallel arbitration, handled by
bus owner supervisor selector (BOSS) (see the following diagram). Whereas
1394a works in half duplex transmission, 1394 does full duplex transmission.
Additional devices may be added up to the overall capacity of the bus, but
throughput at guaranteed minimum service levels is maintained for all
devices with an acknowledged claim on the bus. This deterministic feature is
a huge advantage for many industrial applications where robust performance
is required. Such is the case when it is not acceptable to drop images within
a specific time interval.

FireWire connection capabilities
FireWire can connect together up to 63 peripherals in an acyclic network
structure (hubs). It allows peer-to-peer device communication (between digital cameras), to take place without using system memory or the CPU.
But even more importantly, a FireWire camera can directly, via direct memory access (DMA), write into or read from the memory of the computer with
almost no CPU load.
FireWire also supports multiple hosts per bus. FireWire requires only a cable
with the correct number of pins on either end (normally 6 or 9). It can supply
up to 45 W of power per port at 30 V, allowing high consumption devices to
operate without a separate power cord.
Caution
While supplying such an amount of bus power is clearly a
beneficial feature, it is very important not to exceed the
inrush current of 18 mJoule in 3 ms.
Higher inrush current may damage the Phy chip of the
camera and/or the Phy chip in your PC.
Capabilities of 1394a (FireWire 400)
FireWire 400 (S400) is able to transfer data between devices at 100, 200 or
400 MBit/s data rates. Although USB 2.0 claims to be capable of higher
speeds (480 Mbit/s), FireWire is, in practice, not slower than USB 2.0.
The 1394a capabilities in detail:
• 400 Mbit/s
• Hot-pluggable devices
• Peer-to-peer communications
• Direct Memory Access (DMA) to host memory
• Guaranteed bandwidth
• Multiple devices (up to 45 W) powered via FireWire bus
IIDC V1.3 camera control standards
IIDC V1.3 released a set of camera control standards via 1394a which established a common communications protocol on which most current FireWire
cameras are based.
PIKE Technical Manual V5.0.0
33
FireWire
In addition to common standards shared across manufacturers, a special
Format_7 mode also provided a means by which a manufacturer could offer
special features (smart features), such as:
•higher resolutions
• higher frame rates
•diverse color modes
as extensions (advanced registers) to the prescribed common set.
Capabilities of 1394b (FireWire 800)
FireWire 800 (S800) was introduced commercially by Apple in 2003 and has
a 9-pin FireWire 800 connector (see details in Hardware Installation Guide
and in Chapter IEEE 1394b port pin assignment on page 103). This newer
1394b specification allows a transfer rate of 800 MBit/s with backward compatibilities to the slower rates and 6-pin connectors of FireWire 400.
The 1394b capabilities in detail:
• 800 Mbit/s
• All previous benefits of 1394a (see above)
• Interoperability with 1394a devices
• Longer communications distances (up to 500 m using GOF cables)
IIDC V1.31 camera control standards
Twinned with 1394b, the IIDC V1.31 standard arrived in January 2004, evolving the industry standards for digital imaging communications to include
I/O and RS232 handling, and adding further formats. At such high bandwidths it has become possible to transmit high-resolution images to the PC’s
memory at very high frame rates.

Compatibility between 1394a and 1394b
1394a camera connected to 1394b bus
The cable explains dual compatibility: This cable
serves to connect an IEEE 1394a camera with its
six-pin connector to a bilingual port (a port which
can talk in a- or b-language) of a 1394b bus.
In this case the b-bus communicates in a-language
and a-speed with the camera achieving
a-performance
Figure 4: 1394a and 1394b cameras and compatibility
www
For suitable cables, see:
http://www.alliedvisiontec.com/emea/products/
accessories.html
Compatibility example
It’s possible to run a 1394a and a 1394b camera on the 1394b bus.
You can e.g. run a PIKE F-032B and a MARLIN F-033B on the same bus:
• PIKE F-032B @ S800 and 120 fps (5120 bytes per cycle, 64% of the
cycle slot)
• MARLIN F-033B @ S400 and 30 fps (1280 bytes, 32% of the cycle slot)
1394b camera connected to 1394a bus
The cable explains dual compatibility: In this case,
the cable connects an IEEE 1394b camera with its
nine-pin connector to a 1394a port.
In this case the b-camera communicates in
a-language with the camera achieving
a-performance
Bus runs at 800 Mbit/s for all devices. Data from Marlin’s port is up-converted
from 400 Mbit/s to 800 Mbit/s by data doubling (padding), still needing 32%
of the cycle slot time. This doubles the bandwidth requirement for this port,
as if the camera were running at 60 fps. Total consumption is thus 5120 +
2560 = 7680 bytes per cycle.

x32 8000 MByte/s 16000 MByte/s 32000 MByte/s
Table 5: Theoretical bandwidth of PCIe (PCI Express)
1394b also requires low latency for data transmission (due to small receiveFIFO). In order to get the most out of your camera-to-PC configuration, we
recommend the following chipsets for your PC:
• For Intel-based desktops, chipset 945 (or higher)
• For non-Intel based desktops (e.g. AMD), PCI Express compatible
chipset
www
For more information:
http://support.intel.com/support/chipsets/#desktop
For multi-camera applications one of the following bus cards is needed:
• PCI ExpressCard with potential 250 MByte/s per lane (up to four supported by chipset) or
PIKE Technical Manual V5.0.0

FireWire
Caution
Requirements for laptop and 1394b
As mentioned above, 1394b requires low latency for data transmission (small
receive-FIFO). In order to get the most out of your camera-to-laptop configuration, we recommend the following chipset for your laptop:
• For Intel-based laptops, chipset 915 (or higher)
• For non-Intel based laptops (e.g. AMD), PCI Express compatible chipset
Because most laptops have (only) one PC-card interface, it is possible to connect one PIKE camera to your laptop at full speed. Alternatively laptops with
an additional 1394 ExpressCard interface can be used.
As mentioned earlier, it is very important not to exceed an
inrush current of 18 mJoule in 3 ms. (This means that a
device, when powered via 12 V bus power must never draw
more than 1.5 A, even not in the first 3 ms.)
Higher inrush current may damage the physical interface
chip of the camera and/or the phy chip in your PC.
Whereas inrush current is not a problem for one Pike camera,
daisy chaining multiple cameras or supplying bus power via
(optional) HIROSE power out to circuitry with unknown
inrush currents needs careful design considerations to be on
the safe side.
Note
The following cardbus adapter for laptops allows the connection of two
industrial screw locking cables (obtainable at AVT).
Recent developments at Apple (TM) allow the INTEL based
Apple computers (both laptops as well as desktops) to run a
Win-OS. This makes it possible to use AVT 1394 camera technology with the same AVT-SDKs.

Example 2: More than one PIKE camera at full speed
Due to the fact that one Pike camera can, depending on its settings, saturate
a 32-bit PCI bus, you are advised to use either a PCI Express card and/or multiple 64-bit PCI bus cards, if you want to use 2 or more Pike cameras simultaneously (see the following table).

FireWire Plug & play capabilities
FireWire devices implement the ISO/IEC 13213 configuration ROM model for
device configuration and identification, to provide plug & play capability. All
FireWire devices are identified by an IEEE EUI-64 unique identifier (an extension of the 48-bit Ethernet MAC address format) in addition to well-known
codes indicating the type of device and protocols it supports. For further
details read Chapter Configuration of the camera on page 274.
FireWire hot-plug and screw-lock precautions
Caution
Hot-plug precautions
• Although FireWire devices can theoretically be hotplugged without powering down equipment, we
strongly recommend turning the computer power off,
before connecting a digital camera to it via a FireWire
cable.
• Static electricity or slight plug misalignment during
insertion may short-circuit and damage components.
• The physical ports may be damaged by excessive ESD
(electrostatic discharge), when connected under powered conditions. It is good practice to ensure proper
grounding of computer case and camera case to the
same ground potential, before plugging the camera
cable into the port of the computer. This ensures that
no excessive difference of electrical potential exists
between computer and camera.
•It is very important not to exceed the inrush energy of
18 mJoule in 3 ms. (This means that a device, when
powered via 12 V bus power must never draw more than
1.5 A, but only 0.5 A in the first 3 ms, assuming constant flow of current.)
• Higher inrush current may damage the physical
interface chip of the camera and/or the phy chip in
your PC. Whereas inrush current is not a problem for
one Pike camera, daisy chaining multiple cameras or
supplying bus power via (optional) HIROSE power out to
circuitry with unknown inrush currents needs careful
design considerations to be on the safe side.

FireWire
Screw-lock and power supply precautions
Caution
Screw-lock precautions
• Also, all AVT 1394b camera and cables have industrial
screw-lock fasteners, to insure a tight electrical con-
nection that is resistant to vibration and gravity.
• We strongly recommend using only 1394b adapter
cards with screw-locks.
Power supply precautions
• Make sure not to touch the shield of the camera cable
connected to a computer and the ground terminal of the
lines at the same time.
• If you are charged: before touching the shield of the
camera cable, make sure to discharge first (by touching
the ground terminal of the lines).
• Use only DC power supplies with insulated cases. These
are identified by having only two power connectors.
• If you feel uncomfortable with the previous advice or if
you have no knowledge about the connectivity of an
installation, we strongly recommend powering down
all systems before connecting or disconnecting a
camera.

Adjustment of C-Mount
PIKE cameras allow the precise adjustment of the back focus of the C-Mount
by means of a back focus ring which is threaded into the C-Mount and held
by two screws: one on the top (middle) and one on the right side of the camera. The mechanical adjustment of the imaging device is important in order
to achieve a perfect alignment with the focal point of the lens.
Individual adjustment may be required:
• if you cannot focus correctly at near or far distances or
• if the back focal plane of your lens does not conform to the C-Mount
back-focus specification or
• if you have e.g. removed the IR cut filter.
Figure 23: Back focus adjustment
Do the following:
1. Looking in front of the lens loosen both screws on the top (middle) and
the right side of the housing (locations as shown above by arrows) with
an Allen key (1.3 x 50; Order#: K 9020411). If one of this screws is not
available (angled head models W90/W270 S90), use the screw on the
other side.
2. With the lens set to infinity or a known focus distance, set the camera
to view an object located at infinity or the known distance.
3. Rotate the C-Mount ring and lens forward or backwards on its thread
until the object is in sharp focus. Be careful that the lens remains
seated in the C-Mount.
4. Once focus is achieved, tighten the two locking screws without applying
excessive torque.
