Introduction

Heat dissipation

Due to the small packaging and high speed of Mako cameras, take special care to ensure that the housing temperature of the camera does not exceed 50 °C. Following are general guidelines for heat dissipation:
Note
The housing temperature of the camera will gradually increase during the first hour of operation and should stabilize after that.
• 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

Note
Caution
• Please read these instructions before you contact your AVT camera dealer for assistance.
• Ask your AVT camera dealer if you are not familiar with the procedures described below.
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.
• AVT does not warranty against any physical damage to the sensor/filter/protection glass or lenses. Use utmost care when cleaning optical components.

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.

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

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:
Please carefully remove the filter/protection glass and clean it on both sides using the techniques explained below.
Note
• Taking out the filter requires special care.
• Ask your dealer to help you if you are not confident with the procedure.

Figure 3: Removing IR cut filter/protection glass using special tool (E9020001)
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.

this procedure using new clean lens tissue (as described above).
Caution
6. If you want to clean your camera with compressed air despite of all the warnings:
Caution
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.
Note
• Never wipe lenses with dry swabs or tissue—this causes scratches.
• Do not use any disposable cotton cosmetic swabs; they may contain contaminants.
• 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
If dust spots remain after cleaning twice, please contact your AVT dealer.

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

Mako I/O connector pin assignment

Figure 24: Camera 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
The cable side Hirose connector is available for purchase from AVT.

Control signals

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

Inputs

Figure 30: Input block diagram

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:
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.

•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.

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 18 shows how many frames can be stored by each model.
Note
The memory operates according to the FIFO (first in, first out) principle. This makes addressing for individual images unnecessary.
Model Memory size Pixel format / Resolution / Packet size
Mako G-032B/C 64 MB memory: 202 frames
Mako G-125B/C 64 MB memory: 52 frames
Mako G-223B/C 64 MB memory: 29 frames
Mako G-419B/C 64 MB memory: 15 frames
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.
Mono8/Bayer8
Full resolution
Payload size of 8192 bytes per packet

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 attribute RegionY = (full sensor height – ROI height)/2.
• BinningY 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.
