1. General

This manual covers the digital 2-CCD progressive scan camera AD-081GE.

The AD-081GE is a GigE Vision® compliant camera, belonging to the JAI C3 Advanced family.
The AD-081GE employs 2 monochrome CCDs utilizing prism optics in order to achieve higher
dynamic range (maximum 118dB) or higher frame rate (60 fps). Incoming light is divided in half
and transmitted to each sensor over the whole visible spectrum.

The AD-081GE provides a frame rate of 30 frames/second at full resolution at normal mode.
Using partial scan, the camera can achieve faster frame rates up to 86 fps (1/8 partial scan).
The AD-081GE also has a vertical binning mode.

The 1/3" CCDs with square pixels offer superb image quality. The high-speed shutter function
and asynchronous random trigger mode allow the camera to capture high quality images of fast
moving objects.

The camera features a built-in pre-processing function which includes blemish compensation,
shading compensation, LUT/gamma correction and knee control.

The AD-081GE has two GigE Vision compliant interfaces, one for each sensor output.

The AD-081GE also complies with the GenICamTM standard and contains an internal XML file
that is used to describe the functions/features of the camera. For further information about
the GigE Vision Standard, please go to www.machinevisiononline.org and about GenICam,

6. Input and output circuits

In the following schematic diagrams the input and output circuits for video and timing signals
are shown.

6.1. Iris Video output

This signal can be used for lens iris control in Continuous
mode. The signal is taken from the CCD sensor output
through the process circuit but as the reverse
compensation is applied, the signal is not influenced by
the gain settings. The video output is without sync. The
signal is 0.7 V p-p from 75  without termination.
This signal is taken from sensor 1 but it can be changed
by the register. In order to get this signal, DIP switch
DSW700 should be changed. Refer to 5.4.3.

Fig.5 Iris video output

6.2. Trigger input

An external trigger input can be applied to
pins 3 and 5 of the 6-pin Hirose connector.
The input is AC coupled. To allow long pulses
the input circuit is designed as a flip-flop
circuit. The leading and trailing edges of the
trigger pulse activate the circuit.
The trigger polarity can be changed.
Trigger input level 4 V 2 V.

6.3. EEN (Exposure Enable) output

XEEN is available on pin 4 of the 6-pin Hirose
connector.
The output can be selected as either open
collector or TTL level.
The TTL output circuit is 75 complementary
emitter followers. It will deliver a full 5 volt
signal.
Output level 4 V from 75. (No termination).
For the open collector, the maximum current is
120mA. But if current of more than 50mA is used,
use thicker cable. The use of thinner cable may
cause a malfunction due to its resistance.

7. System Configuration

7.1. System connection

When the AD-081GE is connected to a PC, there are two connection methods.
Method one is to use a dual or quad input Network Interface Card (NIC) or two separate
network interface cards. The other way is to use a hub. Refer to the following drawings.

Fig.8 System configuration

It should be noted that the hub being used should comply with Gigabit Ethernet.
When JAI SDK control tool is executed, AD-081GE is recognized as like two cameras. #0
represents one of the imagers and #1 represents the other.
Each imager can be handled as an independent camera.

7.2. Lens considerations

The AD-081GE has a built-in a beam-splitter prism which separates transmitted and reflected
light across the 400nm to 650nm visible wavelength range. 50% of the incoming light is
reflected and goes to the BW2 sensor while the remaining 50% transmitted light goes to the
BW1 sensor. Thanks to the compact design of the prism, C-mount lenses can be used with this
camera. For optimal performance it is strongly advised to use lenses designed for 3CCD
cameras with the AD-081GE.

8. GPIO (Inputs and outputs)

8.1. Overview

All input and output signals pass through the GPIO (General Purpose Input and Output) module.
The GPIO module consists of a Look-Up Table (LUT – Cross-Point Switch), 2 Pulse Generators
and a 12-bit counter. In the LUT, the relationship between inputs, counters and outputs is
governed by internal register set-up.

Some of the descriptions in this diagram differ from those displayed in the camera control tool.
The following table shows display names and descriptions.

On the above block diagram, Trigger 0 is used for Exposure and Trigger 1 is used for Delayed
Readout. The Time Stamp Reset can reset the time stamp compliant with the GigE Vision
standard. This is used for ensuring the same time stamp if multiple cameras are used.

The blocks shown in the above diagram have the following functionalities:

13

AD-081GE

8.1.1 LUT (Cross Point Switch) The LUT works as a cross-point switch which allows connecting inputs and outputs freely. The signals LVAL_IN, DVAL_IN, FVAL_IN and EEN_IN all originate from the camera timing circuit. On this diagram, Trigger 0 is used for exposure and Trigger 1 is used for Delayed Readout. The Time Stamp Reset signal can reset the time stamp specified in GigE Vision Format. This signal can be used when time stamps from several cameras connected are coincident with each other. The “Sequence reset” resets the sequential settings. Outputs from the LUT described on the right side show GPIO settings for LINE SELECTOR in the JAI Camera Control tool and inputs to the LUT on the left side show GPIO settings for LINE SOURCE in the JAI Camera Control tool. Refer to Chapter 8.2 GPIO inputs/Outputs table.

8.1.2 12-bit Counter A camera pixel clock can be used as a source. The counter has a “Divide by N”, where N has the range 1 through 4096, allowing a wide range of clock frequencies to be programmed. Setting value 0 is bypass, setting value 1 is 1/2 dividing, and setting value 4095 is 1/4096 dividing. As the pixel clocks for the AD-081GE are 33.75 MHz, the output frequency is varied from 33.75MHz to 23.768 KHz.

8.1.3 Pulse Generators (0 to 3) Each pulse generator consists of a 20-bit counter. The behavior of these signals is defined by their pulse width, start point and end point. The pulse generator signals can be set in either triggered or periodic mode. In triggered mode, the pulse is triggered by the rising edge/falling edge/high level or low level of the input signal. In periodic mode, the trigger continuously generates a signal that is based on the configured pulse width, starting point and end point. Each pulse generator operates at the frequency created in the 12-bit counter. As the pixel clock (33.75 MHz) is used as the main frequency, the frequency of pulse generator is 33.75 MHz to 8.24 KHz.

8.1.4 Opto-isolated Inputs/Outputs The control interface of the C3 GigE Vision camera series has opto-isolated inputs and outputs, providing galvanic separation between the camera’s inputs/outputs and peripheral equipment. In addition to galvanic separation, the opto-isolated inputs and outputs can cope with a wide range of voltages; the voltage range for inputs is +3.3V to +24V DC whereas outputs will handle +5V to +24V DC.

8.3.3 Pulse generators (20 bit x 4) There are 4 pulse generators (designated 0 through 3) that can be used to create various timing scenarios by programming start point, endpoint, length and repeats.

The following drawing is an example of settings.

FVAL is used for the input of a pulse generator 0 and the clock, after the rising edge of FVAL,
counts 100 clocks for the high period of the pulse and 102 clocks for the pulse length.
As 2400 is for Clock Pre-scaler, the output of the 12 bit counter is 25 KHz, which is 40µs.
Thus, pulse generator 0 creates a 4 ms pulse.

9. GigE Vision® Streaming Protocol (GVSP)

9.1. Digital Video Output (Bit Allocation)

Although the AD-081GE is a digital camera, the image is generated by an analog component,
the CCD sensor.
The table and diagram below show the relationship between the analog CCD output level and
the digital output.

The standard setting for 10-bit video level is 890 LSB. A 200 mV CCD output level equals 100%
video output.

Fig. 16 Digital Output (10 bit output)

9.2. Bit Allocation (Pixel Format / Pixel Type)

In the GigE Vision Interface, GVSP (GigE Vision Streaming Protocol) is used for an application
layer protocol relying on the UDP transport layer protocol. It allows an application to receive
image data, image information and other information from a device.
In the AD-081GE, the following pixel types supported by GVSP are available.

10. Functions and Operations

10.1. GigE Vision Standard Interface

The AD-081GE is designed in accordance with the GigE Vision standard. Digital images are
transmitted over Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables. All camera functions are also controlled via
the GigE Vision interface.

The camera can operate in Continuous mode, providing an endless stream of images. For
capturing individual images related to a specific event, the camera can also be triggered. For
precise triggering, it is recommended to use a hardware trigger applied to the Hirose 12-pin
connector or 6-pin connector. It is also possible to initiate a software trigger through the GigE
Vision interface. However, when using a software trigger, certain latency inherent to the GigE
interface must be expected. This latency, which manifests itself as jitter, greatly depends on
the general conditions and traffic on the GigE connection. The frame rate described in this
manual is for the ideal case and may deteriorate depending on conditions.

When using multiple cameras (going through a switch and/or a single path) or when operating
in a system with limited transmission bandwidth the Delayed Readout Mode and Inter-Packet
Delay functions can be useful.

10.2. Recommended Network Configurations

Although the AD-081GE conforms to Gigabit Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) not all combinations of
network interface cards (NICs) and switches/routers are suitable for use with the GigE Vision
compliant camera.
JAI will endeavor to continuously verify these combinations, in order to give users the widest
choice of GigE components for their system design.

10.2.1 Verified Network Interface Cards (NICs)

At the time of publishing this document these combinations have been verified:

Minimum PC requirements are as follows in order to fulfill the above conditions:

 Intel Core 2 Duo , 2.4 GHz or better
 At least 2 GB memory
 Video Card with PCI Express Bus x 16, VRAM better than DDR2 with 256 MB or more, and

display capability of 2560 x 1600

 Windows XP, SP2 (32bit)
 Functions such as screen saver and power save should not be used. Unnecessary applications

such as Word, Excel or others should not be used.

Note: Pentium 4 type PC is not recommended due to dependency on chip set bus performance.

10.2.2 Video data rate (network bandwidth)

The video bit rate for the AD-081GE in Continuous mode is:

 In the case of using Jumbo Frames (16K), the packet data will be improved by 2 %.
 For AD-081GE, the jumbo frame size can be a maximum 16020 Bytes (factory setting is 1476

Bytes). The NIC must also be set to support Jumbo Frames (refer to section 10.2.4).

 Based on the Pixel Type, the packet size may be automatically adjusted inside the camera to

its most suitable value .

To ensure the integrity of packets transmitted from the camera, it is recommended to follow
these simple guidelines:

1. Whenever possible use a peer-to-peer network.

2. When connecting several cameras going through a network switch, make sure it is

capable of handling jumbo packets and that it has sufficient memory capacity.

3. Configure inter-packet delay to avoid congestion in network switches.

4. Disable screen saver and power save functions on computers.

5. Use high performance computers with multi-CPU, hyper-thread and 64-bit CPU, etc.

6. Only use Gigabit Ethernet equipment and components together with the camera.

7. Use at least Cat5e and preferably Cat6 Ethernet cables.

8. Whenever possible, limit the camera output to 8-bit.

 Note for setting packet size

The packet size is set to 1428 as the factory default. Packet size can be modified in the GigE
Vision Transport Layer Control section of the camera control tool (see below). For AD-081GE,
users may enter any value for the packet size and the value will be internally adjusted to an
appropriate, legal value that complies with the GenICam standard. Thus, the actual packet
size may be different than the value entered by the user.
Caution: do not set the packet size larger than the maximum setting available in the NIC or
switch to which the camera is connected (see section 10.2.4). Doing so will cause output to
be blocked.

10.2.6 Interrupt Moderation rate

If the Network Connection Properties list contains
a property called Interrupt Moderation Rate, then
it is possible to set the preferred value. When it is
changed from Minimal, to Medium, High and
Extreme, the number of interruptions is
decreased to get better performance. Set it to

“Extreme“.

Click “OK” to save the property.

10.2.7 Calculating and setting Inter-Packet Delay

When connecting several cameras to one network interface card via a switching hub, it is
important to optimize the Inter-Packet Delay of the cameras to avoid congestion in the switch.
A sure sign of congestion is the loss of packets.
Since increasing the inter-packet delay also adds overhead to the data transfer it is important
to calculate the optimal setting in order to make best use of the video bandwidth.

JAI Control Tool has a built in wizard for calculating Inter-Packet Delay.
When the Inter-Packet Delay function is activated, a button appears on the right hand side of
the bar.
Click the button to open the calculation wizard window.

 When the image is being captured, if the frame rate decreases, change the packet size.

Each packet contains the header data and when the packet size is small, the total data
including header information will increase. Depending on the performance of the
computer used, the frame rate may be decreased. Confirm the packet size is increased.
It can be set in the Camera Control Tool provided in JAI SDK.

10.2.10 Note for 100BASE-TX connection

 In order to use 100Mbps network, 100BASE-TX and Full Duplex are available. Half Duplex

cannot be used.

 In the case of connecting on 100BASE-TX, the maximum packet size should be 1500

bytes.

 In the case the of connecting on 100BASE-TX, the specifications such as frame rate,

trigger interval and so on described in this manual cannot be satisfied.

Note: The above frame rates are based on total data of 70Mbps.

10.3. Basic functions

The AD-081GE is based on a beam-splitter prism, allowing precise separation into two separate
monochrome channels. The transmitted light channel is referred to as BW1 and the reflected
channel is referred to as BW2. BW 1 and 2 can be configured to operate separately or
synchronously. When operating separately each channel can be triggered independently.

The AD-081GE can operate in Continuous (free-run) mode or in triggered modes.
The variable partial scan mode provides higher frame rates at lower vertical resolution.

10.3.1 RJ-45 outputs

The AD-081GE has two RJ-45 connectors, GigE-1 for BW1 and GigE-2 for BW2. These two signals
can be set as synchronous or asynchronous, as well as high frame rate, high dynamic range, or
high s/n mode, which are AD-081GE features. In high frame rate, high dynamic range, and high
s/n modes, the synchronization of two sensors is automatically set at synchronous.

10.3.2 Sync mode (Register 0xA098)

Two image sensors can be operated either in SYNC mode or ASYNC mode as well as specific
functions such as high frame rate, high dynamic range or high s/n mode.
This can be set by the “Sync mode command”.

In sync mode, the trigger to GigE 1 is also triggering BW2 sensor.

10.3.3 High frame rate mode (Double speed)

In this mode, double speed readout (60fps) can be achieved by shifting the exposure timing for
each sensor by 1/2 frame. Each signal with 1/2 frame offset is read out from each RJ-45
connector respectively.

Fig. 18 High frame rate output

If this mode is used, the trigger mode should be set at “Continuous”. The maximum shutter
speed is 396L. The following table shows the frame rate.

If trigger in/out is used, select “asynchronous” in the readout mode and input a trigger pulse to
each sensor with 1/2 frame timing offset.

10.3.4 High dynamic range mode

In this mode, high dynamic range can be achieved by setting a different exposure time for each
sensor. To use this mode, set “Readout mode” to “High dynamic range”.
The combining of the two signals uses the ratio of the shutter value for each sensor as the
coefficient. As the composition process can be done regardless of signal levels, the composed
signal is visibly smooth.
There are three built-in HDR modes, or users can choose to perform HDR image composition on
an external host PC:

 High dynamic range ( Sync Mode 3)

In this mode, the composite output emphasizes the details captured by the high speed
shutter sensor, while information from the sensor with the slower shutter appears only in
the lowest (darkest) bits of the output.
The formula for the composition process is;

where,
1/m sec : shutter value of BW1
1/n sec : shutter value of BW2

 High dynamic range ( Sync Mode 6)

In this mode, a roughly proportional approach is used which places an emphasis on the
image from the slower shutter speed sensor, while confining the highlights from the sensor
with the faster shutter to the highest (brightest) bits in the composite output.
The formula for the composition process is;

where,
1/m: shutter value of BW1
1/n: shutter value of BW2

Fig.21 Composition of two images

Maximum dynamic range is:

When the high dynamic range mode is activated, the same composed output can be fed through
both GigE-1 and GigE-2. Set the appropriate output port to capture the image.

If the composition process is to be done on the host PC instead, set “Readout mode” to Sync
and use individual output from BW1 and BW2 to compose a high dynamic range image.

10.3.5 High S/N mode

In this mode, each sensor output is synchronized and has the same exposure time. The image
average of the two signals is the output. The shutter and trigger settings for BW1 are applied to
BW2. The same video output is fed through GigE-1 and GigE-2 and can be captured by setting
the appropriate port.

Fig.23 High S/N mode output

10.3.6 PIV ( Particle Image Velocimetry ) mode

The AD-081GE has a PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) mode. This mode provides three (3)
consecutive images by one trigger pulse. When the trigger is input, the first exposure on BW1
can be captured, followed quickly by an exposure on BW2. After the exposure on BW2 is
completed, a second exposure on BW1 is made. Each exposure is executed by a strobe flash in
very short interval period. The exposure time is preset at 4 µs, 6µs or 8µs by registers.

10.3.7 Iris Video output

The lens-iris video output level at pin 4 of the 12-pin Hirose
connector is 700 mV for 100% video output level. The iris video
signal is taken after the gain circuit. However, negative
compensation is applied to the iris circuit, thus the gain setting has
no influence for controlling auto iris lenses. It is without sync.

Fig.25 Iris Video output

10.3.8 Auto-detect LVAL-sync / async accumulation

This function replaces the manual setting found in older JAI cameras. Whether accumulation is
synchronous or asynchronous in relationship to LVAL depends on the timing of the trigger input.
When a trigger is received while FVAL is high (during readout), the camera works in
LVAL-synchronous mode, preventing reset feed-through in the video signal. There is a
maximum jitter of one LVAL period from issuing a trigger to accumulation start.
When an external trigger is received during FVAL low, the camera works in LVAL-asynchronous
(no delay) mode.
This applies to both Pre-Select (PS) trigger and Pulse Width trigger (PW) modes.

10.3.9 Partial scan (Fast dump ON)

Partial scan allows higher frame rates by reading out a smaller portion of the image, reducing
vertical resolution. This is particularly useful when inspecting objects that do not fill the whole
height of the image. In order to activate this function, Fast Dump register should be ON.

Full scan Partial Scan

The partial scan mode for AD-081GE is variable. The first line and the last line to be read out
can be set.

The variable scan readout is connected with the ROI settings.

1. If ROI is set, these settings are applied to the partial scan settings.

2. If the multi ROI is used, the smallest number of the line and the largest number of the line

define the partial scan area.

3. In the case of sequence trigger, it is the same as for multi ROI. The smallest line and the

largest line define the partial scan.

In order to execute the partial scan, the fast dump should be ON.

10.3.10 Vertical Binning

The binning functions can be used to achieve higher frame rate or higher sensitivity. The
drawback is lower resolution.
Vertical binning is done by adding the charge from pixels in adjacent lines in the horizontal CCD
register. Fig.27 shows the vertical binning principle.

Fig.29 Conceptual drawing for vertical binning.

The AD-081GE has ON or OFF function for Vertical Binning:

10.3.11 Electronic shutter

The AD-081GE has programmable exposure and the GenICam standard Exposure Time Abs.

◆ Programmable Exposure

Exposure time can be controlled in 1 L unit (42.07µs) from 0L to 792L. As the overhead of 0.5L
is added, the actual shutter time is from 0.5L to 791.5L in the range from 0L to 791L. 792L is
the shutter OFF. The actual shutter speed for each operation mode is shown below.

◆ Exposure Time Abs (GenICam Standard)

This is a function specified in the GenICam standard.
The shutter speed can be entered as an absolute exposure time in microseconds (μs) in register
address 0xA018. The entered absolute time (Time Abs) is then converted to programmable
exposure (PE) value inside the camera.

The calculating formula below shows the relationship between the PE value used by the camera
for the different readout modes and the value entered in register 0xA018.
Due to round down figure, some discrepancies may occur.

The relation between PE value and Time Abs
Normal readout PE= INT (Exposure time) µs / (1420/33750000)

(Note: INT means round down.)

Note:The minimum value in normal readout is 20µs.

◆ Auto shutter

Auto shutter works in the range of 1/30 to 1/10000 sec depending on the incoming light.

◆ GPIO in combination with Pulse Width trigger

More precise exposure time can be obtained by using GPIO in combination with Pulse Width
mode. The clock generator and counter can be programmed in very fine increments.
For an example of the settings, refer to chapter 8.4.1.

The following table shows the approximate relationship among shutter modes.

10.3.12 Shading correction

The AD-081GE features a shading correction circuit that can be used for reducing shading
resulting from illumination, lens or prism shading caused
by lenses with a wide output aperture. The shading
correction circuit divides the image into horizontal and
vertical fields, and adjusts these regions in relationship
to the image center. In the internal memory, factory data
is stored. When the shading correction is ON, factory data
is loaded. If it is OFF, the calibration can be activated
and the result can be stored in the user area for reuse.
Each channel is treated separately. The shading
correction works with all pixel formats.

10.3.13 Knee compensation

If the relation of input and output is linear (1:1), the
output level will be clipped at a certain input level
and cannot reproduce the details in the clipped area.
The knee compensation circuit can keep the linear
relation until the knee point, while after the knee
point the input signal is compressed to reproduce the
details. This compression area can be set by knee
slope. The AD-081GE can compress up to 200% input
video level. The factory default is OFF. Users may set
the appropriate values for knee point and slope
according to their applications.

Fig.31 Knee characteristics

10.3.14 Blemish compensation

The AD-081GE has a blemish compensation function.
In the factory, the data for blemish compensation is stored in the factory data. When the
blemish compensation is set to ON, the factory data is loaded. The user can store the
compensation data in the user area (1 to 3). When executing a blemish calibration, it can be
done for white and black blemishes. The user can also set the threshold of detecting blemishes.

Up to 32 blemishes can be compensated.

Fig.32 Conceptual drawing for blemish compensation

10.3.15 Digital gain

In high frame rate and high S/N modes, images from BW1 and BW2 are used interchangeably.
Accordingly, the intensity level of BW1 and BW2 should be identical.
AD-081GE has a digital gain function for this purpose. Please note that if sync mode is set as
Async, the settings of digital gain for BW1 are applied to BW2 settings.

10.4.5 Vertical binning

Vertical binning combines charge from two adjacent lines, reducing the vertical resolution to
half and at the same time increasing frame rate and sensitivity. By activating this function, the
frame rate is increased to 50 fps.

Smearless ON

Smearless Time(198L)+1＋FVAL(792L)+3L

FVAL(792L) is the FVAL period of continuous operation.

2

In case that “Readout mode” is set to “SYNC”, the trigger input for BW1 is used for both

channels. The exposure time can be set individually, but the output timing is
synchronized with the rising edge of the longest exposure time.

10.5.2 Edge Pre-Select (EPS) trigger mode

An external trigger pulse initiates the capture, and the exposure time (accumulation time) is
the fixed shutter speed set by registers. The accumulation can be LVAL synchronous or LVAL
asynchronous. The resulting video signal will start to be read out after the selected shutter
time.
For timing details, refer to fig. 35 through fig. 44.

10.5.3 Pulse Width Control (PWC) trigger mode

In this mode the accumulation time is equal to the trigger pulse width. Here it is possible to
have a long time exposure. The maximum recommended time is <60 frames.
The accumulation is only LVAL async.
For timing details, refer to fig. 35 through fig. 40 and fig. 45 through fig.46.

Fig.45 Pulse Width Control LVAL asynchronous

52

AD-081GE

On PWC mode, when “Smearless ON ” is selected, the actual accumulation time is “the trigger
pulse width” – “Smearless active period (199L+2L)”.

If the trigger pulse width is shorter than 199L, the exposure is not active.

10.5.4 Reset Continuous Trigger (RCT) mode

The RCT mode operates like EPS (edge preselect) mode with smearless function. An external
trigger pulse will immediately stop the video readout, reset and restart the exposure, then
operate as normal mode until the next trigger. After the trigger pulse is input, a fast dump
readout is performed. In the AD-081GE, this period is 8.32ms which is 198L. The exposure
time is determined by the pre-set shutter speed. If no further trigger pulses are applied,
the camera will continue in normal mode and the video signal is not output. The fast dump
readout has the same effect as “smearless readout”. Smear over highlight areas is reduced
for the trigger frame. The reset continuous trigger mode makes it possible to use triggering in
conjunction with a lens with video controlled iris.
The accumulation is LVAL Async only.

Important notes on using this mode

PIV mode is an independent function and is not to be combined with the High Frame Rate
function, the High Dynamic Range function, or the normal output mode (Sync or Separate). In
this mode, one trigger input provides three consecutive outputs. A strobe light is used for
illumination. PIV has three preset modes.

10.5.6 Sequential Trigger Mode (EPS)

This mode allows the user to define a preset sequence of up to 10 images, each with its own
ROI, Shutter and Gain values. As each trigger input is received, the image data with the
preset sequence is output as described below.

Trigger

Sequence
Operation

Fig.49 Sequential Trigger Mode

Signals added to a trigger can be selected by 0xB060 Camera Trigger Selector in the register
map via GPIO. The camera will function on the rising edge of the trigger and Negative or
Positive should be determined accordingly.

The following default settings can be modified by the user to define a sequence.
This table is common for both BW1 and BW2 sensors as default settings.

The following registers are used to configure the sequence.

0xC0F4 Sequence Repetitions (Number of Repetitions – note: 0 = repeat indefinitely)
0xC0F8 Sequence Ending Position (Ending Position)
0xC0F0 Sequence Reset Command (1 only)
0xB060 Selection for camera trigger 0
0xA040 Trigger mode selection and 0x09 for Sequential PS mode

Example of settings

Setting: Repeat 5 times from ID 1 through ID 8

0xC0F4 Set to 0x05
0xC0F8 Set to 0x08
0xB060 For instance, 12p #6 for Optical IN 1
0xA040 Sequential PS (9)
0xA604 Set video sending flag to 1 for start
0xA604 Set video sending flag to 0 for stop
Please refer to the detailed register description on Camera Register Map which is included in
the SDK.

Important Notes:

 When this mode is used, at first set the video sending flag to OFF (Acquisition end). Then set

the trigger mode to “Continuous”. Then, set the shutter mode to “Sequential Trigger” mode.
After setting those functions, set the video sending flag to ON (Acquisition start).

 If the changes are done while the trigger is input, the order of the sequence might be shifted.

The trigger mode should be changed while the trigger is not input and after change the
setting, execute the sequence reset to send 0xC0f0 command.

 In this mode, while the acquisition is ON, saving to user area 1 to 3 is not available.

While this mode is in operation, the shutter mode (0xA000) should not be changed.

10.5.7 Delayed Readout EPS and PWC Modes (EPS and PWC)

This mode can be used to delay the transmission of a captured image. When several cameras
are triggered simultaneously and connected to the same GigE interface, it allows the cameras
to be read out in sequence, preventing congestion.

The image data is not transmitted directly by the trigger 0 and is stored in the memory located
at the Ethernet Interface. By the falling edge of the soft trigger 1, the image data is output.

This mode can work in EPS mode and PWC mode.

Fig.50 Delayed Readout Mode

Example of setting

0xA040 PS Delayed Readout (0x17)
0xB060 Trigger 0 select, e.g. 0x04 OPT IN 1
0xB-064 Trigger 1 select, e.g. 0x05 OPT IN 2

For the details of Registers, please refer to the Camera Register Map which is included in the
SDK.

57

AD-081GE

In PWC mode, when “Smearless ON ” is selected, the actual accumulation time is the trigger

pulse width minus the Smearless active period (199L+2L).
If the trigger pulse width is shorter than 199L, the exposure is not active.

10.5.8 Smearless mode

This function can be used to reduce the smear coming from bright parts of the object. This is
effective for both EPS and PWC trigger modes. Before the accumulation starts, any charge that
is stored in the pixel is dumped by a high-speed transfer. This can reduce the smear at the
upper part of the object but the lower part is unaffected.
At the falling edge of the trigger pulse the high speed transfer starts. This period is 8.32ms
which is 198L. Thereafter the residual charge in the horizontal CCD register is read out in 1L
and the new exposure starts. This function is available for both full scan and partial scan.

10.5.9 Optical Black transfer mode

It is possible for the user to decide whether the optical black (OB) portion of the image will be
transferred or not. The optical black part can be used for black reference in the application
software. Setting register 0xA41C turns the optical black transfer ON or OFF. The default
condition is OFF.

Note: The menu for ON or OFF of OB transfer mode is found on the Image Format Control of the
JAI SDK Camera Control Tool.

10.5.10 Multi ROI mode (Multi Region of Interest)

In this trigger mode, up to 5 ROIs located on one image can
be output by one trigger input. By using this mode, the
data stream can be smaller.
Each ROI can be overlapped.
Please note that if the accumulated data size is bigger than
the data size of 1 frame, the frame rate will be reduced.
Also note that these ROI settings are also used for partial
scanning. In the diagram shown to the right, the start line
of ROI2 and the end line of ROI4 would define the height for partial scan mode.

10.7. Special note for settings

10.7.1 When the image size is changed

When the image size needs to be changed while the image is being captured, you must stop
image capturing by pressing “Stop Acquisition”. Then change the value. It is possible to set
the shutter value and gain settings while watching the picture on the screen.

10.7.2 When the image is captured

While capturing images, if the frame rate is decreased, please check packet size. Each
packet contains header information. If the packet size is small, total data bandwidth
is affected by all the headers that must be added to packets. Accordingly, the
frame rate may be decreased. If so, it is recommended to set the packet size to a higher value.
Please note that the packet size is not stored, and it is necessary to set it on every
start up. The current frame rate is shown at the bottom of the camera control tool.

(Note: the above figure is from BM/BB-141GE)

10.7.3 Acquisition frame rate

Acquisition frame rate is a function to set the frame rate of image capturing. The frame rate
can be set at full, 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8. This is only useful in “Continuous” mode. If a trigger mode
is used, it is strongly recommended to use the full frame rate. Otherwise, the trigger frequency
will also be divided according to the frame rate setting.

(Note: The above figure shows an example from a camera other than the AD-081GE.)

Appendix

1. Precautions

Personnel not trained in dealing with similar electronic devices should not service this camera.
The camera contains components sensitive to electrostatic discharge. The handling of these
devices should follow the requirements of electrostatic sensitive components.
Do not attempt to disassemble this camera.
Do not expose this camera to rain or moisture.
Do not face this camera towards the sun, extreme bright light or light reflecting objects,
including laser sources.
When this camera is not in use, put the supplied lens cap on the lens mount.
Handle this camera with the maximum care.
Operate this camera only from the type of power source indicated on the camera.
Remove power from the camera during any modification work, such as changes of jumper and
switch settings.

2. Typical Sensor Characteristics

The following effects may be observed on the video monitor screen. They do not indicate any
fault of the camera, but do associate with typical sensor characteristics.

V. Aliasing

When the camera captures stripes, straight lines or similar sharp patterns, jagged image on the
monitor may appear.

Blemishes

All cameras are shipped without visible image sensor blemishes.
Over time some pixel defects can occur. This does not have a practical effect on the operation
of the camera. These will show up as white spots (blemishes).
Exposure to cosmic rays can cause blemishes to appear on the image sensor. Please take care
to avoid exposure to cosmic rays during transportation and storage. It is recommended that sea
shipment instead of air flight be used in order to limit the influence of cosmic rays on the
camera. Pixel defects/blemishes also may emerge due to prolonged operation at elevated
ambient temperature, due to high gain setting or during long time exposure. It is therefore
recommended to operate the camera within its specifications.

Patterned Noise

When the sensor captures a dark object at high temperature or is used for long time integration,
fixed pattern noise may appear in the image.

3. Caution when mounting a lens on the camera

When mounting a lens on the camera dust particles in the air may settle on the surface of the
lens or the image sensor of the camera. It is therefore important to keep the protective caps on
the lens and on the camera until the lens is mounted. Point the lens mount of the camera
downward to prevent dust particles from landing on the optical surfaces of the camera. This
work should be done in a dust free environment. Do not touch any of the optical surfaces of the
camera or the lens.

4. Caution when mounting the camera

When you mount the camera on your system, please make sure to use screws of

the recommended length described in the following drawing. Longer screws may
cause serious damage to the PCB inside the camera.

If you mount the tripod mounting plate, please use the provided screws.

5. Exportation

When exporting this product, please follow the export regulation of your own country.
