1.3 Description

e2v’s next generation of line scan cameras are setting new, high standards for line rate and image quality. Thanks to e2v’s recently developed multi-line CMOS technology, the camera provides an unmatched 95,000 lines/s and

combines high response with an extremely low noise level; this delivers high signal to noise ratio even when short integration times are required or when illumination is limited. The 5μm pixel size is arranged in four active lines and dual line filter configuration allowing the camera to be operated in several modes: True colour mode with 10μm RGB pixels to provide equivalent colour fidelity to 10μm pixel tri-linear solutions with advanced immunity to web variation or Full definition mode with a unique16,384 RGB pixel resolution.

2.2 Image Sensor

The Eliixa+ Colour 16k sensor is composed of two pairs of sensitive lines.

The Colour version has been completed with RGB colour Filter and disposed as detailed beside.

Each pair of lines use the same Analog to Digital Column converter (ADC Column). An appropriate (embedded) Time delay in the exposure between each line this allows to combine two successive exposures in order to double the sensitivity of a single line.

This Time Delay Exposure is used only in the Full Definition Enhanced mode (See Below).

3.2.1 Power Over CoaXPress

The ELIIXA+ CXP is compliant with the Power Over CoaXPress : There is no Power connector as the power is delivered through the Coaxial Connectors 1 and 2. In the Standard, the Power Over CoaXPress allows to deliver 13W (under 24V) per Channel. The ELIIXA+ CXP requires 19W then two connectors are required for the power : The two first are used for this purpose.

If you want to Power ON the Camera you have to connect the Coaxial connector output 1 of the camera to the coaxial connector 1 of the Frame Grabber.

Note 1 : the 2 first connectors to get it power and be able to start up.

Note 2 : connect/disconnect the Connector CXP1 but after a longer shut down, you’ll have to reboot the PC with the Camera full connected to the frame grabber in order to synchronize the discovery of each power line.

Note 3 shutting down/up the power of the CoaxPress : This solution, with the complete reboot, is the better solution to ensure a complete power On of the Camera.

Only the connector 1 position is mandatory. They other 3 connectors can be inverted but the camera still needs

Removing the 2 first connectors will shut down the Camera : You can reset the Camera by quickly (

6 CAMERA SOFTWARE INTERFACE

6.1 Control and Interface

The ELIIXA+ CoaxPress Camera is compliant with GenICam 2.1 and the SFNC 1.5 standards. This means that the Camera embeds its own definition and parameter description in an xml file. Most of these Parameters are compliant with the SNFC. The specific parameters (non SNFC) are still compliant with GenICam and can be detailed through the GenICam API process to the application.

The Frame Grabber software is supposed to propose a feature Brother, based on GenICam, which lists and allows the modification of the parameters of the Camera. This feature brother based on GenICam API uploads the xml file of the parameters description embedded in the Camera.

Then the following description of the parameters and commands is based on the GenICam name of these parameters. Behind each parameter is a register address in the Camera memory. The mapping of these registers is not given in this manual because it can change from one version or the firmware to the next one.

Note : The delay for the Camera to take in account a change in the ScanDirection value is 200ms

This information can be set dynamically by using one of the two External Trig lines (Line0 or Line1) of the GPIO connector (change the direction “on the fly”). In these case, the Trigger low level signification is :

 “0” : Forward.  “1” : Reverse

ELIIXA+® 16k/8k CXP Color

The Forward direction is defined as detailed below :

6.2.2.3 Test Image Pattern Selector

This selection Defines if the data comes from the normal Sensor operation and FPGA Chain or from digital patterns generated at the end of the FPGA. This is mainly useful to detect some interfacing or connection issues.

 To switch to Cmos sensor image  Grey Horizontal Ramp (Fixed) : See AppendixA  White Pattern (Uniform white image : 255)  Grey Pattern (Uniform middle Grey : 128 on each color)  RGBW Pattern See AppendixA  Grey vertical Ramp (moving)

When any of the Test pattern is enabled, the whole processing chain of the FPGA is disabled.

Note : When the camera is set with the RGBW pattern test, it’s no more taking in account the Line Trigger and working in Free Run (line period controlled by the camera)

6.2.3 Acquisition Control

The Acquisition Control section describes all features related to image acquisition, including the trigger and exposure control. It describes the basic model for acquisition and the typical behavior of the device.

An Acquisition is defined as the capture of a sequence of one or many Frame(s). This Acquisition mode and its command is managed by the Frame Grabber. A Frame is defined as the capture of Width pixels x Height lines. As for the Acquisition Mode, the Frame Management (Start, stop …) is also manage by the Frame Grabber. The ELIIXA+ CXP Camera is considered as a LineScan Camera (as in the CameraLink version) then only deals with the Line/Exposure Triggers.

A Line starts with an optional Exposure period and ends with the completion of the sensor read out. The Line/Exposure Triggers can be connected :

- Either on the GPIO connector of the Camera (2x Lines Triggers : Line0/1 available if Forward/reverse

- Or by the CoaxPess Cable : Only one Trigger available (Line2).

If the single CoaxPress Trigger is used, the Synchronization mode using 2xTriggers can’t be used.

6.2.3.1 External Triggers on GPIO Connector

An External GPIO connector allows the camera to used 2 lines for triggering (Line0 and Line1) The end-user has the responsibility of the definition of the triggering system. The mapping describes all features available to define a trigger system

6.2.3.2 CXP Trigger

CXP specification allows the frame grabber to send triggers through the low speed link0 (@20MHz) The CXP specification describes the behavior of the trigger, where only the edge of the signal and a timer to limit the latency is described.

For the camera, the CXP trigger is consider to be the “line2”. The Frame grabber itself can also manage several lines,

timers, counter and finally send this single CXP trigger to the camera.

6.2.3.4 Rescaler

The camera has two registers per line which can define a rescaler: a multiplier and a divider. With these two registers, the end-user can change the frequency of the line.

ELIIXA+® 16k/8k CXP Color

Divider

Multiplier

The generated line has always a 50% duty cycle. With the combination of a multiplier and divider, the system can generate any frequency The system must sample the input signal to compute its frequency. Two parameters define the sample settings:

- RescalerSize

- Granularity

The Rescaler Size defines the maximum number of samples. Two values are possible: 12bit (4096 samples) or 16bit (65536 samples). The Granularity allows the rescaler to generate the sample periodicity. Four values are possible: 1, 4, 16 or 256 system clock cycles. The system clock period is 20ns. So the time between samples is (Granularity x 20ns)

With these two parameters, the user must determine the best sample range. It is the user responsibility to configure the rescaler.

The MaxSampledPeriod must be as close as possible to the trigger period while still being longer MaxSampledPeriod = 20ns x granularity x 2 The array below gives the MaxSampledPeriod in millisecond

 Analog Gain in the ADC

The only analog Gain available in the ELIIXA+ is located at the sensor level, in the ADC converter. This “Preamp Gain” is in fact a variation of the ramp of the comparator of the ADC. Then 3 Values are available : x1, x2 and x4. A gain x1 in a 12 bits conversion is equivalent to x4 in 10 bits.

AutoWhiteBalanceStart

Auto White Balance calibration Control : 0 : Abort the White Balance 1 : Launch the White Balance Calibration

6.2.6.1 White Balance

As described in chapter 6.2.2.1, the structure of the sensor differentiates Green pixels facing Blue or Red pixels.

Then the white balance is associated with 4 color Gains :

- Red Gain

- Green

- Blue Gain

The Color Selection or enabling (Image Format Chapter) can affect the way you’re performing the white balance :

For example, if you disable the Blue and the Red color, the “White Balance” will be performed only between the

two Green Gains.

The dissociation of Green (blue) and Green (Red) is justified by the possible difference of response of the two types of Green because of their respective neighbor color influence and then the necessity to tune them separately.

As usual, for a perfect White balance, provide to the Camera a non-saturating white (gray) target in the center of the sensor.

The White balance has to be performed after the Flat Field Correction as each color is performing its own FFC with its own reference.

In any case, the best tuning of the Camera Gains is performed from the left to the right of the Gain Chain described above : Preamp Gain first and quarter Gains last (if required).

The Auto White balance can be started only if the Camera is grabbing (start Acquisition Active) otherwise No action will be done while launching the Auto White Balance calibration.

 How is performed the Flat Field Correction ?

What is the Flat Field correction (FFC) ?

The Flat Field Correction is a digital correction on each pixel which allows :

 To correct the Pixel PRNU (Pixel Response Non Uniformity) and DSNU (Dark Signal Non Uniformity)  To Correct the shading due to the lens  To correct the Light source non uniformity

Before After

How is calculated / Applied the FFC ?

The FFC is a digital correction on the pixel level for both Gain and Offset.

 Each Pixel is corrected with :

o An Offset on 8 bits (Signed Int 5.3). They cover a dynamic of 16LSB in 12bits with a resolution of 1/8 LSB

12bits.

o A Gain on 12 bits (Unsigned Int 14) with a max gain value of x5. Gain : U12 (1+Gain/1024) => x1 to x3.999 by

step of 1/1024

o The calculation of the new pixel value is : P’ = ( P + Off).(1 + Gain/1024)

The FFC is always processed separately on each color and with the max pixel value of each color as reference. Then the white balance has to be performed after the FFC.

How to perform the Flat Field Correction ?

FPN/DSNU Calibration

 Cover the lens  Launch the FPN Calibration : Grab and calculation is performed in few seconds

6.2.7 Flat Field Correction

32 e2v semiconductors SAS 2014

ELIIXA+® 16k/8k CXP Color

PRNU Calibration

The User must propose a white/gray uniform target to the Camera (not a fixed paper). The Gain/Light conditions must give a non saturated image in any Line. The Camera must be set in the final conditions of Light/ Gain and in the final position in the System. I f required, set a user target for the FFC adjust and enable it.

 White uniform (moving) target  Launch the FFC  Enable the FFC  You can save the FFC result (both FPN+PRNU in the same time) in one of the 4 x FFC User Banks.  The user target and Gain are saved with the associated FFC in the same memory.

Advices

The ELIIXA+ Cameras have 4 x FFC Banks to save 4 x different FFC calibrations. You can use this feature if your system needs some different conditions of lightning and/or Gain because of the inspection of different objects : You can perform one FFC per condition of Gain/setting of the Camera ( 4 Max) and recall one of the four global settings (Camera Configuration + FFC + Line Balance) when required.

converter. During the first half of this timing pixel (read out of the black reference), we can consider that the exposure is still active.

Digital Conversion : During the conversion, the analog Gain is applied by the gradient of the counting ramp (see next

chapter : Gain & Offset). The conversion time depends on the pixel format :

- 8 or 10 bits : 6µs

- 12 bits : 18µs

This conversion is done in masked time, eventually during the next exposure period.

9 APPENDIX C: Data Cables

 CXP cables and the separate lanes of a CXP-multi-cable shall be coaxial with a characteristic impedance of 75Ω ± 4

Ω. When a series connection of CXP-cables is considered, all of the BNC connectors used have to be of the 75Ω

type, including any inline couplers.

 A CXP cable and the separate lanes of a CXP-multi-cable shall have a return loss better than or equal to :

 The maximum length of a CoaXPress cable is the lowest figure from three different requirements: power supply

voltage drop, high speed link requirements and low speed link requirements.

o Power Supply Voltage Drop : A CXP cable and the separate lanes of a CXP multi-cable shall each have a

total DC roundtrip resistance of less than 4.98Ω for each of the coax cables.

o High Speed Link Requirement : A CXP cable and the separate lanes of a CXP-multi-cable that are

specified for a given bit rate shall have an attenuation that is less or equal to the following attenuation at its corresponding frequency (example with Belden 1694A Cable) :

ELIIXA+® 16k/8k CXP Color

o Low Speed Link Requirement : A CXP cable and the separate lanes of a CXP-multi-cable shall have a

signal attenuation at 30 MHz of less than, or equal to, -4.74dB.

 Cable Current Capacity : A CXP cable and the separate lanes of a CXP-multi-cable shall each be designed to carry

1A in normal operation.

 A CXP-cable and the separate lanes of a CXP-multi-cable shall have attenuation versus frequency characteristic

exhibiting cable-like behaviour over the frequency ranges as indicated in the table below. A series connection of cables shall also fulfil this requirement as if it is one cable including all of its connectors and inline couplers.
