FOV

Focal Plan

CCD Plan

FOV

5.2

Setting up in the system

Vocabulary : w = size of the sensor line (40,96mm for the 4k 10µm) FOV = Field Of View (width of the web inspected by the sensor line) in mm. L = Working distance (from the Lens to the Web) in mm. f = focal distance of the lens in mm. S = Speed of the web in mm/s

We have :

The ratio M = w/FOV is called Magnification. The FOV is grabbed by 4096 pixels in the

width. In order to get a ratio of 1 :1 in your image, at

the web speed of S, your line rate has to be set :

Line Rate = (S/FOV) x 4096

: if the FOV = 11 cm (110mm) and the speed of the web is S= 0,3 m/s (300mm/s) the line rate will be :

Line Rate = (300 /110) x 4096 = 11170 Lines/s. If you use a 60mm lens, the working distance

will be : L = (60 x 110) / 40,96 = 161mm. This will certainly require a macro lens.

6 CAMERA SOFTWARE INTERFACE

6.1 GigE Vision concepts

Camera interface is compliant with "Gigabit Ethernet Vision" (GigE Vision) or (GEV). GEV normalizes image transport and camera control communications over usual IP networks. Physical GEV carrier has a bandwidth of one gigabit per second (1Gbit/s). GEV is widely used by camera manufacturers and imaging software suppliers.

6.1.1 GenICam

Camera interface is compliant with "Generic Interface for Cameras" (GenICam). GenICam normalizes the camera control interface with software application. The target is to have a single application controlling cameras from any model and brand the same way. It introduces the concept of user manual, not for humans but to software application. Application reads this user manual to control cameras. GenICam has 2 parts, "GenICam Standard" and "GenICam Standard Features Naming Convention" (SFNC)

6.1.2 GenICam Standard

It normalizes the camera control rules. It can be considered as the grammar of the user manual. From programmer's point of view, all cameras are controlled with the same way by a single Software Developer’s Kit (SDK).

6.1.3 SFNC

From vision point of view, camera feature names are standardized by SFNC. It can be considered as the vocabulary of the user manual.

6.2 Getting started with GigE Vision interface

This chapter shows how to connect a GEV camera for the first time. Refer to TBD for more details on GEV interfacing.

6.2.1 Network setup

The following is the simplest example of a Gigabit IP network.

A single Ethernet cable is connected in RG45 receptacles of GEV camera and PC. Select a "CAT6"

shielded twisted pair quality to get a reliable 1Gbit/s. This cable is available at any computer shop.

Recent PC have a gigabit RG45 plug on the motherboard. Factory setup has set the camera to the default IP subnet169.254.X.X. The PC interface is set to this default IP subnet as follows: Open the Network interface properties. Settings are shown on Windows XP.

DIVIINA® LM1

1042B -Diviina LM1 11/10

e2v semiconductors SAS 2010

Set TCP-IP v4 interface properties to IP address 169.254.0.101 and subnet mask to 255.255.0.0

6.2.2 Software installation

A GigE Vision software is required. Use your own or install PureGEV, downloadable from www.e2v.com site. A PureGEV license is included in camera package. Refer to PureGEV installation manual for instructions. The following assumes Pleora's PureGEV is installed. To keep things simple, the firewall should be temporarly turned off.

DIVIINA® LM1

1042B -Diviina LM1 11/10

e2v semiconductors SAS 2010

6.2.3 Interactive camera control

PureGEV Player is used to control camera interactively and display images. :

¾ Click "Communication Control" button and in "Communication Control" window, set the

"AnswerTimeout" feature to 4000

"Select / Connect" button opens the GEV Device Selection window. GigE cameras appears.

DIVIINA® LM1

1042B -Diviina LM1 11/10

e2v semiconductors SAS 2010

Click on camera and check "License" value id "Valid" and click OK. In GEV Player window, "Gev Device control" and "Play" are now active. Once connected to the Camera you have an easy access to all its features when you click on “GEV DeviceControl”. The visibility of these features can be associated to three types of users: Beginner, Expert or Guru. Then you can make life easy for simple users.

6.2.4 Camera first power on

At the power on of Diviina LM1 camera, controls are generated inside the camera and images are generated without triggers configuration (like in mode free run for a Camera Link camera). The Acquisition mode is continuous; camera take continuous frame of 100 lines (value by default of Height feature). Each line is acquired in Continuous mode with Exposure time and acquisition line period defined as the minimum Line period of each sensor.

6.3 IP address policy tips

Camera IP address is defined by one of the following policies : LLA, DHCP and fixed IP. LLA policy is recommended for dedicated GEV links, as no configuration is required except the default subnet setting in PC Ethernet interface. Default subnet is 169.254.X.X. DHCP policy is recommended when GEV is shared with other Ethernet traffic or when PC/cameras are moved frequently. DHCP can set a dedicated IP address to a given camera. Fixed IP policy is a simple policy, but not recommended, as address consistency is not insured in time.

Acquisition and trigger controls

8.3.1 Camera Trigger synoptics

External triggers on receptacle pins are feeding PLC line1 and Line2. Q4 and Q5 are driving exposure triggers. Q12 is driving Frame trigger and Q14 is driving acquisition trigger. By convention, Pin1 has the exposure trigger, Pin2 is available for others triggers and data input.

8.3.2 Acquisition and Trigger modes

Acquisition, Frame and Line can be triggered by internal or external signals. Genicam camera has 4 real time controls: Line, exposure, frame and acquisition. An acquisition is defined as the capture of a sequence of one or many frames witch is also a capture of one or many lines. For each line an exposure time and an acquisition line period are controlled.

In the example above. We have an acquisition of 2 lines – Frames.

Ö Trig 1 is not taken in account because the acquisition was not started. Ö Trig2 is not taken in account because the Frame 1 is not yet valid. Ö Trig3 & 4 are OK for the Frame 1 Ö Trig5 is taken in an additional Frame 1 completed in 1 line because the Frame signal ends. Ö Trig6 is not taken in account because Frame 2 is not yet valid Ö Trig7 & 8 are OK for the Frame 2 Ö Trig9 & 10 are OK for the Frame 3 : The Frame has started before the acquisition ends then the

Frame has to be finished. Ö Trig 11 is not taken in account because the Frame and the acquisition are not valid.

• ExposureTime : this feature fixes the exposure time when lineTriggerMode selected is Continuous,

or ExtTrigWithExpTimeSet(otherwise it’s ignored).

Ö Interface : IInteger Ö Unit : Microseconds Ö Values available : From 4 to 65534 Ö Can be written Ö Visibility : Beginner

• AcquisitionLinePeriod : this feature fixes the line period when lineTriggerMode selected is

Continuous (otherwise it’s ignored).

Ö Interface : IInteger Ö The minimum of Line period depends of sensor width :

 28µs for the 1K Pixels cameras (35,714kHz)  55µs for the 2K pixels cameras (18,182kHz)

 105µs for the 4k pixels cameras (9,523 kHz) Ö The maximum line period is 65535. Ö Unit : Microseconds Ö Can be written Ö Visibility : Beginner

The

min value is not displayed in GevPlayer for each camera but any attempt to

set to a lower value then this will be refused by the camera.

In the same way, it’s impossible to set the line period at a lower value than the exposure time.

Note that if the exposure time is increased and set at a lower value than the line period, this last one will be automatically adjusted at the value of the exposure time : This modification won’t appear in GevPlayer without disconnect/reconnect

• AdaptativeTapBalance : This custom feature enables the Adaptative Tap balance.

Ö Interface : IBoolean Ö Can be written Ö Visibility : Beginner

 How works the Adaptative Tap Balance ?

The Auto Tap Balance is a Laplace filter which is applied in the FPGA. It automatically solve any odd/even mismatch that can be visible in the image

¾ Whatever the action you may have on the Odd/even Tap Gains to increase the mismatch

between the Taps, the filter will correct if enabled

¾ The filter has to be disabled if the inspection is done at Nyquist frequency : Then the tap

balance has to be performed by using odd and even Tap Gains.

The Camera is delivered with the Adaptative Tap Balance disabled by default.

 Gains Management and Auto Tap Balance

The Selected Gain All is a “virtual” global command which affects both Odd and Even Gains in the same time. Each value set in the Selected Gain All erases Odd and Even Gain values. This gain has to be used when the Auto Tap balance is activated as a “friendly” mode to set quickly the gain level in the Camera without taking care of the Tap balance which is automatically done by the Laplace filter.

¾ The real values of gain applied on each Tap are those set in the odd and even Gain

parameters.

¾ Whatever the action you may have on the Odd/even Tap Gains to increase the mismatch

between the Taps, the filter will correct if enabled

¾ In CommCam the odd/gains Values are not refreshed after the setting of the Global gain

command : You have to refresh them individually with a right click on the value.

• Ext Trig with integration time set in the camera

This mode requires an external trigger ( via Q4) but the exposure time is the one defined in the Camera.

• Ext Trig with Exposure Time Controlled (ETC) with one Trig

If the line period of the Trig signal provided to the camera is smaller than the exposure time set in the camera, the “short trig pulses” will be ignored: The exposure set in the camera defines the minimum line period possible.

Q4 is based on an external trigger, if trigger used is not completely the same as Q4 described above, the PLC allows to modify it in order to match input signal and Q4 signal needed.

This mode requires an external trigger ( via Q4). Both exposure time and line period are defined by this Trig signal:

¾ The exposure time during the low level of the Trig Signal ¾ The line period between two rising edges of the Trig Signal

• PLC controlled

This mode requires two external triggers ( via Q4 and Q5):

¾ Q5 controls the starting of the exposure time ¾ Q4 controls the end of the exposure time.

The line period is defined by the one of the Q5 Trig signal.

Q4 is based on an external trigger, if trigger used is not completely the same as Q4 described above, the PLC allows to modify it in order to match input signal and Q4 signal needed.

 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) management

Signals available at Q4 and Q5 of the PLC have to be as signals described above. To transform trigger like this, a PLC is available between trigger input and Q4 and Q5.

¾ At First power on, PLC is like a “wire” were input and Q4 are directly linked without any signal

treatment inside PLC.

¾ Diviina camera has only 2 inputs: one for line trigger and the other for frame trigger; if the

PlcControlled mode is used, a new signal has to be created from the line trigger input with PLC help.
