3.4 Powering Your Oryx

Power is provided externally through the GPIO interface: 12 - 24 V. Power consumption is 15W maximum, 11 W nominal.

The camera does not transmit images for the first 100 ms after power-up. The auto-exposure and auto-white balance algorithms do not run while the camera is powered down. It may therefore take several images to get a satisfactory image.

When the camera is power cycled (power disengaged then re-engaged), the camera reverts to its default factory settings, or if applicable, a saved user set.

4.2 Using GenICam Applications

GigE Vision is an interface standard that allows for fast image transfer over Ethernet networks. All cameras supporting GigE Vision interact the same way with software also supporting GigE Vision.

For more information on the standard, visit visiononline.org.

The standard defines required elements for camera identification, control, and output. It uses GenICam, a programming interface for camera attribute control. GenICam allows camera vendors to define features and attributes in an XML file stored inside the camera. The file is parsed by the host application when the camera is initially discovered. One of the key benefits of GenICam is the ability for camera vendors to introduce new camera-specific features without needing to update the host application.

Each camera attribute, such as exposure time, is controlled by a specific GenICam feature. The camera includes an XML device description file for interfacing with third-party GenICam-compliant APIs.

For more information on GenICam, visit emva.org.

5 Configuring Oryx Setup

After successful installation of your camera and interface card, you can make changes to the setup. Use the tools described below to change the IP Address or the driver for your interface card.

For information on updating your camera's firmware post installation, see Camera Firmware.

5.1 Configuring Camera Driver

For the Oryx camera, ensure that PGRLWF driver version 2.7.3.92 or above is installed.

The PGRLWF driver should already be installed automatically using the Spinnaker SDK installer when the Camera Evaluation option is selected. Or in the case of Application Development option, the driver is installed if you select the GigE Driver checkbox.

Alternatively, you can manually install the driver. The PGRLWF files are located in:

C:\Program Files\Point Grey Research\Spinnaker\driver64

To verify your driver:

5 Configuring Oryx Setup

1. Launch SpinView:

Start-->All Programs-->Point Grey-->Spinnaker SDK-->SpinView

2. Select the camera.

3. In the Feature tree search box, enter "driver". The Device Driver Version feature is highlighted.

FLIROryx®Installation Guide 9

FLIROryx®Installation Guide 10

Page 15

5.2 Configuring the IP Address

When a new GigE camera is first powered and initialized, a dynamic IP address is assigned to the camera according to the DHCP protocol. If DHCP addressing fails, a link-local address is assigned. You can configure the IP address using the GenICam Features Transport Layer Control.

Alternatively, SpinView is a tool included with the Spinnaker SDK that allows you to set the internet protocol (IP) configuration for any GigE interface cards or FLIR GigE Vision cameras connected to your system. Using SpinView, you can:

n Set the IP address for the current connection.

n Program a persistent IP address for the camera.

n Configure the default IP addressing behavior of the camera on startup using a persistent IP, DHCP or LLA.

n Enable Jumbo Frames on the GigE NIC.

Both your camera and host adapter must have an IP address on the same subnet. This can be assigned in three ways:

n Persistent—The camera has a fixed IP address that does not change. Generally the address is within a

closed network range of 192.168.X.X.

5 Configuring Oryx Setup

n Dynamic (DHCP)—The camera is set to automatically obtain an IP address. This means that the IP

address may change (within a range) every time the camera or computer is restarted. It may take up to one minute for the IP address to resolve and the camera to enumerate.

n Default (LLA)—The camera uses an IP address from the link-local address block 169.254.x.x.

The camera assigns its current IP address in the following sequence:

1. Persistent—Uses the defined IP address. If not available, then;

2. DHCP—Attempts to find a dynamic IP address. If not available, then;

3. LLA—Uses an LLA IP address.

SpinView can automatically force an IP address refresh. This detects the IP address of the Network Interface card and automatically sets the camera’s IP address relative to the card.

To open SpinView:

Start Menu > All Programs > Point Grey Spinnaker SDK > SpinView

5.3 Allocating Bandwidth

The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) used by the GigE Vision standard provides no guaranteed transmission or fixed timing mechanism. Therefore, bandwidth must be managed by the Device Throughput Limit, based on desired resolution and frame rate.

5.3.1 Determining Bandwidth Requirements

The maximum bandwidth available is 1.25 GB. This includes image data, control data and image resends, which occur when frames are being dropped. Each image and each packet has a certain amount of overhead that will

FLIROryx®Installation Guide 11

Page 16

5 Configuring Oryx Setup

use some bandwidth. Therefore, when calculating your bandwidth requirements, you should not attempt to use the full maximum of 1.25 GB. The default bandwidth is 850 MB.

Note: If the packet size and packet delay combination exceeds the available bandwidth, frames will be dropped.

To calculate your bandwidth requirements:

Determine your required resolution, frame rate, and pixel format (bytes per pixel)

(Height x Width x Frame Rate x Bytes per Pixel)/1000000 = Bandwidth in MB

For example, for an image that is 4K resolution, 60 FPS, Mono8:

3840 (H) x 2160 (W) x 60 (FPS) x 1 (BPP) = ~497 MB

Once you have calculated your required bandwidth, you can allocate an amount to each camera by adjusting the packet size and packet delay. Allocating a specific amount to each camera helps to avoid dropped packets due to a data burst. You would do this in a set up with multiple cameras, or in a situation where the system bandwidth might be limited or shared due to hardware architecture.

Bandwidth Requirements for Multiple Cameras

Multiple cameras can be set up in two ways: 1) Each camera is connected directly to a single Ethernet port; or, 2) multiple cameras are connected to a single port through an Ethernet switch.

If using the first method, each camera has the full bandwidth allocation available to it. If using the second method, the combination of all cameras on a switch cannot exceed the available bandwidth.

Technical Application Note 10351

5.4 Configuring Other Ethernet Settings

5.4.1 Stream Channel Destination Address

The stream channel destination address (SCDA) register is used to specify the streaming destination IP address. The default SCDA is the IPaddress of the network or computer to which the camera is connected. It can be set within a range so that the camera sends data as a multicast. As long as switches in the path between the sender and receivers support and are configured for multicasting, multiple receivers can listen to the data stream from the camera.

Multicast addresses are between 224.0.0.0 and 239.255.255.255.

Note: For more information on multicast address assignments, see http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3171

FLIROryx®Installation Guide 12

Page 17

To control SCDA use:

n GenICam—GevSCDA in the Transport Layer Control

5.4.2 Heartbeat

The heartbeat is a mandatory GigE Vision feature to monitor the connection between an application and the camera. The application must continually reset the heartbeat timer, or the camera assumes an error has occurred and shuts down the connection.

In general, the Spinnaker API manages the heartbeat at a low level; however the following two features are

controllable: Heartbeat Timeout and Heartbeat Disable.

Heartbeat Timeout

Heartbeat timeout is the time, in milliseconds, that the camera waits before closing the connection. Heartbeat timeout can be set between 500 ms and 10 seconds. The default setting is 3000 ms (3 seconds). If there is no communication between the camera and the application for longer than the timeout value, the connection is shut down.

To control Heartbeat Timeout use:

n GenICam—Under Transport Layer Control, GevHeartbeatTimeout.

5 Configuring Oryx Setup

n Spinnaker API—The Spinnaker SDK supports configuring heartbeat timeout.

Heartbeat Disable

The heartbeat is enabled by default.

To disable Heartbeat use:

n GenICam—Under Transport Layer Control GevGVCPHeartbeatDisable.

n Spinnaker API—The Spinnaker SDK supports disabling heartbeat.

6.4 Mounting

The case is equipped with the following mounting holes:

n Four (4) M4.0 x 0.7 mounting holes on each side of the case

n One (1) 1/4-20 UNC mounting hole on the bottom of the case

6.5 Case Temperature and Heat Dissipation

You must provide sufficient heat dissipation to control the internal operating temperature of the camera.

The camera is equipped with an on-board temperature sensor. It allows you to obtain the temperature of the camera board-level components. The sensor measures the ambient temperature within the case.

As a result of packing the camera electronics into a small space, the outer case of the camera can become hot to the touch when running. This is expected behavior and will not damage the camera electronics.

To reduce heat, use a cooling fan to set up a positive air flow around the camera, taking into consideration the following precautions:

6 Oryx Physical Interface

n Mount the camera on a heat sink, such as a camera mounting bracket, made out of a heat-conductive

material like aluminum.

n Make sure the flow of heat from the camera case to the bracket is not blocked by a non-conductive

material like plastic.

n Make sure the camera has enough open space around it to facilitate the free flow of air.

To access temperature information:

n Query the GenICam Device Control feature DeviceTemperature.

Selecting a lens for your

camera

The lens mount is compatible with C-mount lenses. Correct focus cannot be achieved using a CS-mount lens on a C-mount camera.

6.6.1 Back Flange Distance

The Back Flange Distance (BFD) is offset due to the presence of both a 1 mm infrared cutoff (IRC) filter and a 0.5 mm sensor package window. These two pieces of glass fit between the lens and the sensor image plane. The IRC filter is installed on color cameras. In monochrome cameras, it is a transparent piece of glass. The sensor package window is installed by the sensor manufacturer. Both components cause refraction, which requires some offset in flange back distance to correct.

The resulting C-mount BFDis 17.99 mm.

6.8 Dust Protection

The camera housing is designed to prevent dust from falling directly onto the sensor's protective glass surface. This is achieved by placing a piece of clear glass (monochrome camera models) or an IR cut-off filter (color models) that sits above the surface of the sensor's glass. A removable plastic retainer keeps this glass/filter system in place. By increasing the distance between the imaging surface and the location of the potential dust particles, the likelihood of interference from the dust (assuming non-collimated light) and the possibility of damage to the sensor during cleaning is reduced.

7.2 GPIO Electrical Characteristics

Both the opto-isolated input and output have over current protection.

The output is open collector and thus requires a pull-up resistor to operate. The rise time and bias current will be determined by the resistor value chosen. If the camera is generating an output signal that approaches the rise time plus the fall time of the opto-isolated circuit, care must be taken to optimize the pull-up resistor chosen to minimize the rise time while still remaining within the current limits of the output circuit.

The opto-isolated specifications listed below are applicable when power to the camera is provided through the interface and not through the GPIO.

Warning! To avoid damage, connect the OPTO_GND pin first before applying voltage to the GPIO line.

Warning! Prolonged use of the camera outside of the Operating Range described below may lead to unexpected behavior and should be avoided.
