Notes on cable configurations

The presence of lighting equipment and television receivers nearby may result in video and audio noise. In such cases, change the cable configurations or placement.

Notes on attaching the lens

Avoiding dust particles

When attaching the lens to the camera, stray dust and other particles may adhere to the sensor surface and rear surface of the lens. Be careful of the following when attaching the lens.

•Work in a clean environment.

•Do not remove the caps from the camera and lens until immediately before you attach the lens.

•To prevent dust from adhering to surfaces, point the camera and lens downward and do not allow the

lens surface to come into contact with your hands or other objects.

•Always use a blower brush to remove any dust that adheres. Never use your hands or cloth, blow with your mouth, or use other methods to remove dust.

Phenomena specific to CMOS image sensors

The following phenomena are known to occur on cameras equipped with CMOS image sensors. These do not indicate malfunctions.

•

Aliasing

When shooting straight lines, stripes, and similar patterns, vertical aliasing (zigzag distortion) may appear on the monitor.

•

Blooming

When strong light enters, more than the allowable amount of charge of the sensor element in the CMOS image sensor (pixel) and the charge is overflowing, enters into the surrounding pixels, and blooming may occur. However, this does not affect actual operation.

•

Fixed pattern noise

When shooting dark objects in high-temperature conditions, fixed pattern noise may occur throughout the entire video monitor screen.

•

Defective pixels

Defective pixels (white and black pixels) of the CMOS image sensor are minimized at the factory according to shipping standards. However, as this phenomenon can be affected by the ambient temperature, camera settings (e.g., high sensitivity and long exposure), and other factors, be sure to operate within the camera’s specified operating environment.

Notes on exportation

When exporting this product, please follow the export regulations of your country or region.

GO-2400M-USB / GO-2400C-USB

Features

The GO-2400M-USB/GO-2400C-USB is an industrial progressive scan camera equipped with a 1/1.2-inch global shutter CMOS image sensor with 2.35 effective megapixels (1936 × 1216). The unit is compact and lightweight in design and is equipped with USB 3.0 interface.

 The GO-2400M-USB produces monochrome output while the GO-2400C-USB produces Bayer output.

Compact and lightweight

The unit’s compact (approx. 29 × 29 × 41.5 mm, excluding lens mount) and lightweight (approx. 46 g) design allows for easy assembly and installation.

Output formats

You can choose from 8-bit, 10-bit, and 12-bit* output for both monochrome and Bayer.

* As the color camera cannot perform white balance when using 12-bit output, perform white balance on the

application.

High frame rate

The GO-2400M-USB and GO-2400C-USB are both capable of frame rates of up to 159 fps (8-bit format) for full 2.35-megapixel output. Even faster frame rates can be achieved when a smaller ROI (region of interest) is specified.

ALC (automatic level control) function

Combine the automatic gain control and automatic exposure control functions to allow handling of changes in various brightnesses.

Variety of pre-process functions

• LUT (lookup table)

For programmable control over gamma and contrast.

• Gamma correction

Gamma can be set to 0.45, 0.60, or 1.0 (off).

• Shading correction (flat field and color shading)

Non-uniformity (i.e., shading) in the amount of light generated by the lens and lighting equipment can be corrected.

• Bayer white balance (GO-2400C-USB only)

White balance can be automatically adjusted continuously. It can also be adjusted manually using R, and B gain.

Acquisition Control (Image Acquisition Controls)

Perform operations and configure settings related to image acquisition in [Acquisition Control].

The following acquisition modes are available on the camera.

Acquisition Mode Description

Single Frame Acquire a single frame when the [Acquisition Start] command is executed. Multi Frame Acquire the number of frames specified in [Acquisition Frame Count] when the

[Acquisition Start] command is executed.

Continuous Acquire images continuously until the [Acquisition Stop] command is executed.

Changing the Frame Rate

When [Trigger Mode] is disabled, you can change the frame rate in [Acquisition Frame Rate].

Note

• The shortest frame period varies depending on the ROI, pixel format, and binning mode selected. The longest frame period is 0.125 Hz (8 sec.).

• When [Trigger Mode] is enabled, the [Acquisition Frame Rate] setting is disabled.

Maximum Frame Rate

The maximum frame rate is as follows depending on the sensor’s scanning range and the USB 3.0 bandwidth.

GO-2400M-USB / GO-2400C-USB

■ Maximum frame rate period formula

During continuous operation ([Frame Start] trigger is [Off] or [Exposure Mode] is [Off])

• Maximum frame rate of sensor output SensorFR = 1 / ((Height_s + 40) × Hperiod)

• Maximum frame rate of USB 3.0 output bandwidth InterfaceFR = 3000 × 1000000 / (Height_g × Width_g × Pack value)

• Maximum frame rate FR_Cont = Min (<SensorFR>, <InterfaceFR>)

When the exposure time is longer than the frame interval

• Maximum exposure time at maximum frame rate

MaxExposureTime_TrOlrd = (1 / FR_Cont) - (14 × H Period)

• Exposure time outside of frame interval

NonOverlapExposureTime = ExposureTime - MaxExposureTime_TrOlrd However, NonOverlapExposureTime calculation results that are 0 or below will be considered as 0.

• Maximum frame rate

FR_ContLongExposure = 1/{(1/FR_Cont) + NonOverlapExposureTime}

When [Frame Start] trigger is [On] and [Trigger OverLap] is [Off]

• Maximum frame rate of sensor output

Sensor FR = 1 / {H Period × (Height + 40)}

• Maximum frame rate by interface

Interface FR = 3000 × 1000000 / (Height × Width × Pack value)

• Maximum frame rate

FR_Cont = Min (Sensor FR, Interface FR)

• Exposure time possible within frames

MaxOverlapTime_TrOloff = (1 / FR_Cont) - (1 / Sensor FR)

• Exposure time outside of frame interval

NonOverlapExposureTime_TrOloff = ExposureTime - MaxOverlapTime_TrOloff However, NonOverlapExposureTime_TrOloff calculation results that are 0 or below will be considered as 0. For TriggerWidth, the trigger pulse is equivalent to ExposureTime.

• Maximum frame rate

FR_TrOloff = 1 / {(1 / FR_Cont) + NonOverlapExposureTime_TrOloff}

When [Frame Start] trigger is [On] and [Trigger OverLap] is [Readout]

• Maximum frame rate of sensor Sensor FR = 1 / {H Period × (Height + 40)}

• Maximum frame rate by interface Interface FR = 3000 × 1000000 / (Height × Width × Pack value)

• Maximum frame rate FR_Cont = Min (Sensor FR, Interface FR)

• Exposure time possible within frames MaxOverlapTime_TrOlrd = (1 / FR_Cont) - (14 × H Period)

• Exposure time outside of frame interval NonOverlapExposureTime_TrOlrd = ExposureTime - MaxOverlapTime_TrOlrd However, NonOverlapExposureTime_TrOlrd calculation results that are 0 or below will be considered as 0. For TriggerWidth, the trigger pulse is equivalent to ExposureTime.

• Maximum frame rate FR_TrOlrd = 1 / {(1 / FR_Cont) + NonOverlapExposureTime_TrOlrd}

Exposure Mode

The following exposure modes are available on the camera.

Exposure Mode Description

Off Exposure control is not performed (free-running operation). Timed Mode in which control is performed using exposure time. Acquire images using an

exposure time configured beforehand on an external trigger.

Trigger Width Mode in which control of the exposure time is performed using the pulse width of the

trigger input signal. The exposure time will be the same as the pulse width of the trigger input signal. This allows long exposure.

 The settings for exposure control and triggers are related to each other. Be sure to configure the settings

described in “Configuring Exposure and External Trigger Settings” (page 16).

Trigger Control

The camera allows the following controls to be performed via external trigger signals.

Trigger Selector Description

Frame Start Start exposure in response to the external trigger signal input. Select this to perform

exposure control using external triggers. Acquisition Start Start image acquisition in response to the external trigger signal input. Acquisition End Stop image acquisition in response to the external trigger signal input. Acquisition Transfer Start Output acquired images at a specified timing in response to an external trigger

signal input. (Up to 8 frames for 8-bit, and up to 4 frames for 10-/12-bit.)

 The settings for exposure control and triggers are related to each other. Be sure to configure the settings

described in “Configuring Exposure and External Trigger Settings” (page 16).

Gain Control

[Analog All] can be used for gain control for both the monochrome and color camera. [Analog All] (master gain) uses the sensor's internal gain function and consists of analog gain + digital gain. Analog gain is used for lower gain, and analog gain + digital gain is used when the gain becomes high. R and B can be configured individually as digital gain on the GO-2400C-USB.

 For details on how to configure the settings, see “Adjusting the Gain” (page 19).

The relationship between the gain setting value, gain amplification, and dB value is as follows. For example, a gain amplification of x5.62 will be 15 dB.

Gamma Function

The gamma function corrects the output signals from the camera beforehand (reverse correction), taking into consideration the light-emitting properties of the monitor display. As the light-emitting properties of the monitor are not linear, the entire image may be darker or the gradation in the dark areas may be less noticeable when camera outputs are displayed without processing. The gamma function can be used to correct the camera signals with an opposite-direction curve and produce a display that is close to linear.

Example of the light-emitting properties of the monitor display

■ To use the gamma function

Configure the settings as follows.

Item Setting value / selectable range Description

Gamma 0.45, 0.60, 1.0 (Off) Select the gamma correction value. JAI LUT Mode Gamma Use gamma.

Note

You can use the LUT function to configure a curve with more detailed points. For details, see “LUT (Lookup Table)” (page 30).

Defective Pixel Correction Function

Multiple defective pixels that are not adjacent to each other can occur on conventional CMOS sensor cameras. This camera features a function that interpolates defective pixels using the surrounding pixels. Up to 256 pixels can be corrected.

Line Status

The line status function allows you to verify the status of external input/output signals. You can verify the status of the following signals.

•Opt Out 1, Opt Out 2, Opt In 1

•Time Stamp Reset

•NAND Gate 0 In 1, NAND Gate 0 In 2, NAND Gate 1 In 1, NAND Gate 1 In 2

GO-2400M-USB / GO-2400C-USB

Shading Correction

The shading correction is a function that corrects non-uniformity (i.e., shading) in the amount of light generated by the lens and lighting equipment. Using this function allows correction even if top, bottom, left, and right shading is not symmetrical in relation to the center of the screen (H, V).

The size of the correction block is 16 (H) × 10 (V) blocks and calculation errors in the correction data are minimized due to the small interpolation block. Each block is 128 × 128 pixels. The total size of the blocks is 2048 (H) × 1280 (V), but the actual number of effective pixels for the camera is 1936 (H) × 1216 (V). The ineffective peripheral areas will be deleted internally on the camera automatically.

2048 (Total size)

1936 (Effective pixels)

1280 (Total size)

1216 (Effective pixels)

128

The following shading correction modes are available on the camera. However, as proper interpolation is not performed when ROI settings are configured, execute shading correction at full size before configuring the ROI settings.

■ Flat Shading

Correction is performed using the area of the screen with the highest brightness level as the reference, and adjusting the brightness levels of the other areas to match this level.

Within 30% of adjustment range

GO-2400M-USB / GO-2400C-USB

■ Color Shading (GO-2400C-USB only)

R-channel and B-channel properties are adjusted to using the G-channel shading properties as a reference.

Pre-correction Post-correction

Caution

Proper correction is not possible under the following conditions.

• If an area with a brightness level that is more than 30% less than the reference level exists within the screen

• If the brightness level is saturated in parts or all of the screen

• If the area in the screen with the highest brightness level is 300 LSB or less (during 10-bit video

output)

■ To use the shading correction function

Configure the settings as follows.

shading correction value.

Display a white chart under a uniform light, and execute [Perform Shading Calibration].

Note

After shading correction is executed, the shading correction value is automatically saved to the user area selected in [Shading Mode].

Binning Function

The binning function (GO-2400M-USB Only) allows you to combine the signal values of clusters of adjacent pixels on the sensor to create improved virtual pixels. Using the function results in images with lower pixel resolution and higher sensitivity. Common methods of binning include “horizontal binning” where two horizontally adjacent pixels are combined, and “vertical binning” where two vertically adjacent pixels are combined. By combining the horizontal and vertical methods to create a group of four pixels (2×2 binning), you can create images with x4 sensitivity.

ROI (Regional Scanning Function)

The ROI (region of interest) function allows you to output images by specifying the areas to scan.

ROI Settings

Specify the area to scan by specifying width, height, and horizontal/vertical offset values under [Image Format Control].

 For details on how to configure the settings, see “Configuring the Output Format” (page 15).

You can increase the frame rate by specifying a lower height, as the number of lines scanned decreases. The minimum area is as follows.

Sensor Multi ROI Function

Sensor Multi ROI is an ROI function that is configured and functions inside the sensor. You can configure up to 16 scanning regions (4 horizontal and 4 vertical). By skipping areas that are not specified as regions of interest when scanning a frame, the sensor's ROI function outputs the specified regions in a compressed state. You can increase the frame rate due to the reduced scanning time for the compressed areas. However, you cannot make the line frequency faster by compressing in the horizontal direction.

Sequencer Function

The Sequencer function lets you define up to 128 preset combinations of exposure time, gain, ROI, and other settings which can be stepped through each time a trigger is received. This is particularly useful for quickly capturing multiple exposures of objects under inspection to adjust for areas or components with significantly different levels of reflectance. The order of execution and the repetition of particular presets are based on user-defined parameters configured in [Sequencer Control].

Two operation modes (Trigger Sequencer mode and Command Sequencer mode) are available for the Sequencer function.

Trigger Sequencer mode

With this mode, the Sequencer Trigger “pattern” is predetermined by the user. The user defines up to 128 different “indexes.” Each index represents a combination of the following parameters:

• ROI (width, height, offset X, and offset Y)

• Exposure Time

• Gain Level (R/B Gain can also be configured on the color model)

• Black Level

• Binning Mode (monochrome only)

• LUT Enable (whether or not to enable the use of LUT for this index)

• Frame Count (the number of times to repeat this index before moving to the next)

• Next Index to execute in the predetermined pattern

In addition to these individual index parameters, two other parameters are applied to the entire sequence:

[Sequencer LUT Mode] defines whether Gamma or LUT is to be applied to the sequence. If Gamma is selected, the Gamma setting defined in the camera’s Analog Control section will be applied to all exposures in the sequence. If LUT is selected, the LUT characteristics defined in Analog Control will be applied to any index where [Sequencer LUT enable] has been set to ON.

[Sequencer Reset] causes the index selector to be reset to Index 1. Thus, the sequencer pattern will start over at the next trigger.

In Trigger Sequencer mode, patterns begin with the index of [Sequencer Set Start]. Subsequent triggers follow the user-defined values in [Sequencer Index Frame Count] and [Sequencer ROI Next Index]. Assigning a Next Index value of “1” to an index creates a loop back to the start of the sequencer pattern. Setting a Next Index value to “OFF” causes the value of [Sequencer Repetition] to be applied as described below.

[Sequencer Repetition]

This parameter applies to Trigger Sequencer patterns which include an index whose [Sequencer ROI Next Index] is set to OFF. When the index whose [Sequencer ROI Next Index] is set to OFF is finished executing, the value of Sequencer Repetition (range = 1-255) is decremented internally. If the result of the decrement is not zero, the Trigger Sequencer pattern starts over from Index1. If the result of the decrement is zero, the status changes to Acquisition Stop and external triggers are not accepted.

Note

Sequencer function cannot be used together with Sensor Multi ROI function (Page 35).

Sequencer LUT mode

Command Sequencer mode

This mode allows the user to vary the “pattern” of the sequence in response to external factors. Changes in the sequence can be initiated manually or in a programmatic fashion as the result of data from sensors/controllers or from the analysis of previous images.

In this mode, the user can define up to 128 different “indexes” each incorporating a combination of:

• ROI (width, height, offset X, and offset Y)

• Exposure Time

• Gain Level (R/B Gain can also be configured on the color model)

• Black Level

• Binning Mode (monochrome only)

• LUT Enable (whether or not to enable the use of LUT for this index)

The user must also enter a value from 1 to 128 in [Command Sequencer Index]. This indicates which index to execute each time a trigger is received. The same index will continue to be executed for all subsequent triggers as long as the value of [Command Sequencer Index] remains unchanged.

Changing the value of [Command Sequencer Index] to one of the other predefined indexes causes that index to be executed in response to subsequent triggers. This mode of operation enables users to develop applications that continually send new values to [Command Sequencer Index] in response to external factors such as changing light conditions, different types or sizes of objects being inspected, or other factors. This allows applications to change ROI, exposure, gain, etc., without being restricted to a predefined pattern.

GO-2400M-USB / GO-2400C-USB

As with Trigger Sequencer, [Sequencer LUT Mode] defines whether Gamma or LUT is to be applied to the sequence. If Gamma is selected, the Gamma setting defined in the camera’s Analog Control section will be applied to all exposures in the sequence. If LUT is selected, the LUT characteristics defined in Analog Control will be applied to any index where [Sequencer LUT enable] has been set to ON.

[Sequencer Index Frame Count], [Sequencer ROI Next Index], and [Reset Sequencer Index] are not used in Command Sequencer mode and entered values are ignored.

Delayed Readout [Acquisition Transfer Start]

Delayed readout enables images captured by a Frame Start trigger command to be stored inside the camera and read out on demand at a later time using Acquisition Transfer Start trigger. This can be especially useful when multiple cameras need to be triggered at the same time, but simultaneous readout of all images would overwhelm the available network bandwidth. The delayed readout buffer can hold up to 8 frames in 8-bit mode or 4 frames in 10-bit or 12-bit modes.

 For details, see “Trigger Control” (page 26).

ALC (Automatic Level Control) Function

The ALC (automatic level control) function combines the automatic gain control (AGC/Auto Gain Control) and automatic exposure control (ASC/Auto Shutter Control) functions, and is capable of handling various changes in brightness. The function operates as follows in response to changes in brightness.

Counter and Timer Control Function (counter support only)

The counter function counts up change points in the camera’s internal signals using the camera’s internal counter, and reads that information from the host side. This function is useful for verifying error conditions via the count value using internal camera operations. Counting is performed at frame trigger, frame start, exposure start, and exposure transfer end, and by comparing these values, you can determine the internal camera state at which missed triggers will occur.

Miscellaneous

Troubleshooting

Check the following before requesting help. If the problem persists, contact your local JAI distributor.

■ Power supply and connections

Problem Cause and solution

The power / trigger LED remains lit amber and does not turn green, even after power is supplied to the camera.

Camera initialization may not be complete due to lack of a network connection. Check the USB cable conection.

■ Image display

Problem Cause and solution

Gradation in dark areas is not noticeable. Use the gamma function to correct the display.

As the light-emitting properties of the monitor are not linear, the entire image may be darker or the gradation in the dark areas may be less noticeable when camera outputs are displayed without processing. Using the gamma function performs correction to produce a display that is close to linear. For details, see “Gamma Function” (page 31).

■ Settings and operations

Problem Cause and solution

Settings cannot be saved to user memory. You cannot save to user memory while images are being

acquired by the camera. Stop image acquisition before performing the save operation.

I want to restore the factory default settings. Load [Default] under [User Set Selector] in the [Feature

Properties] tab to restore the factory default settings.
