This manual covers the digital 2-CCD progressive scan multi-spectral camera AD-130GE.

The AD-130GE is a GigE Vision compliant camera, belonging to the JAI C3 Advanced family. The AD-130GE employs 2 CCDs, one for Bayer color and the other for NIR monochrome utilizing prism optics so that the AD-130GE can inspect the objects by visible color sensor and Near IR sensor with the same angle of view.

The AD-130GE provides a frame rate of 31 frames/second at full resolution. Using partial scan, the camera can achieve faster frame rates up to 145 fps (8 lines height).

The 1/3" CCDs with square pixels offer a superb image quality. The high-speed shutter function and asynchronous random trigger mode allows 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, Bayer to RGB interpolation, LUT/gamma correction and knee control.

The AD-130GE also complies with the GenICam 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, please go to www.genicam.org.

As an application programming interface, JAI provides an SDK (Software Development Kit). This SDK includes GigE Vision Filter Driver, JAI Control tool, software documentation and code examples. The JAI SDK can be downloaded from www.jai.com.

6. System Configuration

6.1. System connection

When the AD-130GE is connected to a PC, there are two connection methods. Method one is to use dual or quad input Network Interface Card (NIC) or two separate network interface cards. The other way is to use a hub as shown below.

Fig.6 System configuration

It should be noted that the hub being used should comply with Gigabit Ethernet. When JAI SDK control tool is started, AD-130GE is recognized as two cameras. #0 represents the Bayer color imager and #1 represents the NIR imager. Each imager can be handled as an independent camera.

Two image sensors can be operated either in SYNC mode or ASYNC mode. This can be set by the ―Sync mode command‖.

6.2. RJ-45 outputs

The AD-130GE has two RJ-45 connectors, one for color sensor output and the other for the monochrome NIR sensor. The output for the color sensor is through GigE-1 and monochrome NIR output is through GigE-2. These two outputs can be set at synchronous (SYNC) or asynchronous (ASYNC) in Sync Mode feature.

6.4. Lens considerations

The AD-130GE is based on a dichroic prism, allowing precise separation of the visible (color) and near-infrared parts of the spectrum. 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-130GE. These lenses have minimal chromatic aberration, thus allowing both the visible and near-IR images to be in focus. Be sure to select a lens that does not have any built-in IR filtering as this will disrupt the proper operation of the near-IR image channel.

7. Inputs and outputs interface

7.1. 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.

Fig. 9 Cross point switch

7.1.1 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.

AD-130GE

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.

7.1.2 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-130GE are 51.324 MHz, the output frequency is varied from 51.324 MHz to 12.53 KHz.

7.1.3 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.

7.2. 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.

7.3. Input and output circuits

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

7.3.1 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.

7.3.1.1 Iris Video input and 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.15 Iris Video output

7.3.1.2 Iris video output select

As the factory default setting, the signal from AD-130GE #0(color) is used for iris control. The setting can be changed in the following screen. This screen is effective if AD-130GE#0 is selected.

7.3.2 Trigger input

An external trigger input can be applied to pin 3 and 5 of 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.

7.5. Configuring the GPIO module

7.5.1 Input /Output Signal Selector

GPIO is used to determine which signal is assigned which terminal. For the details, please refer to Register Map, Digital I/O, Acquisition and Trigger Control and Pulse Generator.

Line Selector

Line Source

7.5.2 Pulse generators (20 bit x 4)

There are 4 pulse generators (designated 0 through 1) that can be used to create various timing scenarios by programming start point, endpoint, length and repeats.

Fig.18 Pulse waveform

Example of the setting

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.

AD-130GE

Thus, pulse generator 0 creates a 4 ms pulse.

The following shows JAI SDK Camera Control Tool for setting Pulse Generators.

7.5.3 GPIO interface in GenICam standard

Outputs from Cross Point Switch are displayed in 3 sectors in GenICam standard. Inputs to Cross Point Switch are displayed as Source in each sector.

(1) [Acquisition Control] - [Trigger Selector] - [Trigger Source]

：Select the trigger source for Frame Start and Transfer Start Trigger

(2) [Digital IO Control] - [Line Selector] - [Line Source]

：Select signal inputs and outputs for camera I/F

(3) [Pulse Generators] - [Pulse Generator Selector] - [Pulse Generator Clear Source]

: Select the signal source for CLEAR input to Pulse Generator

7.5.4 Change polarity

The polarity of AD-130GE is positive as the default setting. This can be changed in each sector as follows.

(1) [Acquisition Control] - [Trigger Selector] - [Trigger Activation] and

[Trigger Source Inverter]

In the AD-130GE, [Trigger Activation] and [Trigger Source Inverter] are changed

simultaneously.

[Trigger Activation] =―Rising Edge‖& [Trigger Source Inverter] =―False‖ settings are

default.

The default setting can be changed to [Trigger Activation] =―Falling Edge‖& [Trigger

Source Inverter] = ―True‖.

If ―Rising Edge‖ is set, the rising edge is effective input. If ―Falling Edge‖ is set, the falling edge is effective.

(2) [Digital IO Control] - [Line Selector] - [Line Inverter]

―False‖is default setting. This can be changed to ―True‖. If ―False‖ is set, the signal selected in Line Source (Line Mode=Output) is directly

connected to Line Selector.

If ―True‖ is set, the signal selected in Line Source (Line Mode=Output) is connected to

Line Selector after its polarity is reversed.

。

(3) [Pulse Generators] - [Pulse Generator Selector] - [Pulse Generator Inverter(Polarity)]

―False‖ is deafault and can be changed to ―True‖.

If ―False‖ is set, the signal selected in Pulse Generator Clear Source is directly connected to Pulse Generator Selector. If ―True‖ is set, the signal selected in Pulse Generator Clear Source is connected to Pulse Generator Selector after its polarity is reversed.

7.5.5 The restrictions to use TTL In I/F in the AD-130GE

If the polarity of TTL I/F in the AD-130GE is changed, the initialization is executed in the camera. If the source for the same selector item of Camera 0 and Camera 1 is assigned TTL In1 and TTL In2 respectively, the initialization is executed without any problem.

However, if the source for the same selector item of Camera 0 and Camera 1 is assigned the same TTL In and the polarity is changed, there is some restriction as the initialization is executed using the Camera 0 polarity setting as the reference.

It is recommended to use a different sources for Camera 0 and Camera1.

AD-130GE

Fig. 19． Restriction by polarity setting

7.5.6 Caution when the software trigger is used

The AD-130GE has the following restriction when using the software trigger.

1) The input port of GPIO, Camera 0 and Camera 1 have software trigger 0 to 3, respectively. However, the output port of GPIO has only one software trigger 0 to 3.

Therefore, the function is described in the figure 21.

It is recommended to use a different software trigger for Camera 0 and Camera 1.

Example for Frame Start Trigger

AD-130GE

Fig. 20 Software Trigger setting restriction

2) Action Command

In the action command of AD-130GE, Software 2 and 3 are used as action commands

and sent to the selected source. If the source is set to Action 1, for instance, it is changed to Software trigger 2 in the camera control tool.

Action 1 => Use Software Trigger 2 Action 2 => Use Software Trigger 3

3) ―Trigger Source = Software‖ in Frame Start and Transfer Start

For Frame Start and Transfer Start in the AD-130GE, ―Trigger Source = Software‖

can be set and Software command 0 and software command 1 can be sent.

Frame Start / Trigger Software command => Use Software Trigger 0 Transfer Start / Trigger Software command => Use Software Trigger 1

If Software trigger 0 is selected as the trigger source for Frame Start Trigger of Camera 0 and Camera 1, the command for Camera 0 and command for Camera 1 are mixed. Therefore, Software trigger 0 command for Camera 0 and Camera 1 are applied to both Camera 0 and Camera 1, and the function does not operate properly.

8.2. Partial scan (JAI Partial Scan ON)

Partial scan allows higher frame rates by reading out a smaller center 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 Fig.24 Conceptual drawing for partial scan

The partial scan mode for AD-130GE is variable. The first line and the last line to be read out can be set. For Bayer color, the start line should set on an odd line and the last line is set so that the height is an even number. It should be noted that if an even start line is set, the pixel format is automatically changed to GB pixel format.

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 JAI Partial Scan should be ON.

9. Network configuration

 For details of the network settings, please refer to the “Getting Started

Guide” supplied with the JAI SDK.

9.1. GigE Vision Standard Interface

The AD-130GE 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. 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.

9.2. Equipment to configure the network system

9.2.1 PC

The PC used should have the following performance or better

1) Recommended CPU : Core2 Duo 2.4GHz or better,

Better than Core2 Extreme

2) Recommended memory : 2Gbyte or more

3) Video card : Better than PCI Express Bus Ver.1.0 x16

VRAM should be better than 256MByte, DDR2

4) Other : The resident software should not be used

9.2.2 Cables

GigEVision configures the system by using 1000BASE-T. In the market, CAT5e (125MHz), CAT6 (250MHz) and CAT7 (600MHz) cables are available for 1000BASE-T. There are crossover cables and straight through cables available. Currently, as most equipment complies with Auto MDI/MDI-X, please use straight through cables. (Among crossover cables, a half crossover type exists, which the Ethernet will recognize as 100BASE-T).

9.2.3 Network card (NIC)

The network card should comply with 1000BASE-T and also have the capability of JUMBO FRAMES. When the jumbo frame size is set at a larger number, the load on the CPU will be decreased. Additionally, as the overhead of the packet is decreased, the

transmission will have more redundancy.

9.2.4 Hub

It is recommended to use the metal chassis type due to the shielding performance. As the hub has a delay in transmission, please note the latency of the unit.

9.3. Recommended Network Configurations

Although the AM-800GE and AB-800GE 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.

 For details of the network settings, please refer to the “Getting Started

Guide” supplied with the JAI SDK.

9.3.1 Guideline for network settings

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.

AD-130GE

9.3.2 Video data rate (network bandwidth) The video bit rate for the AD-130GE in Continuous mode is:

 In the case of using Jumbo Frames (16K), the packet data will be improved by 2%.

 Note for setting packet size

The packet size is set to 1476 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-130GE, 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. Doing so will cause output to be blocked.

The following table shows possible packet size on each pixel format.

9.3.3 Simplified calculation (Approximate value)

A simple way to calculate the approximate data transfer rate is the following. Transfer data = image width (pixel) x Image Height (pixel) x depth per pixel

(depending on the pixel format) x frame rate / 1,000,000 (convert to mega bit)

In the case of the AD-130GE with the full image and Mono 8bit pixel format; The data transfer rate = 1296 x 966 x 8 x 31.484 / 1000000 = 315 Mbit/s

9.3.4 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.

9.4. GigE camera connecting examples

9.4.1 Using a switching hub for 1 port

 All cameras and NIC belong to the same subnet  The accumulated transfer rate for all cameras should be within 800Mbps  The packet size and the packet delay should be set appropriately in order for

the data not to overflow in the switching hub.

AD-130GE

9.4.2 Connecting a camera to each port of a multi-port NIC

 This is the example for using a 4-port NIC  The pair of the connecting camera and the NIC constructs one subnet. As for

the IP configuration, it is appropriate to use the persistent IP.

 In this case, each camera can use the maximum 800Mbps bandwidth.

However, the load for the internal bus, CPU and the application software become heavy, so a powerful PC will most likely be required.

9.4.3 The data transfer for multiple cameras

9.4.3.1 If delayed readout is not used in continuous mode

 The packet delay should be set larger. The data traffic is controlled by the

buffer of the hub. It is necessary to check the buffer value of the unit.

AD-130GE

9.4.3.2 If delayed readout is not used in trigger mode

 The packet delay should be set larger. The data traffic is controlled by the

buffer of the hub. It is necessary to check the buffer value of the unit.

9.4.3.3 If delayed readout is used

 The packet delay should be set smaller, and the packet delay trigger controls

the data traffic. If the camera has a pulse generator, it can control the data traffic.

10. Functions (Conforming to GenICam SFNC 1.3)

 This section describes naming of GenICam SFNC ver.1.3.

AD-130GE uses the feature names specified in GenICam SFNC ver.1.3 but some functions are not implemented. AD-130GE also provides feature names used in previous JAI cameras.

10.1. Acquisition function

Before using trigger and exposure controls, various acquisition controls must be set. The operation of the camera depends on the interrelationship of all three feature sets.

Fig.30 Acquisition control, Trigger/Exposure control work flow

10.1.1 Basic image acquisition flow

The basic commands for acquiring images are as follows:

Acquisition mode To determine the number of the frame to be captured

Trigger Selector Acquisition Start Trigger Select if the acquisition start is controlled externally Acquisition End Select if the acquisition end is controlled externally

Trigger Selector Frame start Select if the acquisition of the frame is controlled externally.

If the acquisition start is set at ON (The acquisition is controlled externally)

If the acquisition start is set at OFF (The acquisition is controlled internally)

The following sections provide the details for each command set.

10.1.2 Acquisition mode

The AD-130GE has three settings for capturing images.

 Single frame

AcquisitionStart command outputs one frame. Then the acquisition is stopped.

 Continuous

AcquisitionStart command outputs frames until AcquisitionEnd is initiated.

10.1.2.1 Single Frame

In single frame mode, executing the AcquisitionStart command causes one frame to be captured. After one frame is captured, this operation is automatically stopped. In order to restart the capture, it is necessary to input the AcquisitionStart command again. BlockID is not reset until AcquisitionEnd is input and is incremented when the AcquisitionStart command is called.

◆ Normal single frame operation

1) AcquisitionStart command is input

2) AcquisitionActive becomes ―TRUE‖ (accepts capture)

4) AcquisitionActive becomes ―FALSE‖ (stop capturing)

Fig.31 Single frame timing

This drawing shows a case where the trigger is ―OFF‖. If the trigger is ON, FrameActive becomes ―TRUE‖ on the different timing of AcquisitionActive.

◆ Forcing acquisition to stop

While AcquisitionActive is ―TRUE‖, if AcquisitionEnd or AcquisitionAbort is initiated, AcquisitionActive becomes ―FALSE‖ (stop capturing).

10.1.2.2 Continuous mode

In this mode, when the AcquisitionStart command is set, the image is continuously output at the current frame rate. This is the default setting for the AD-130GE.

1) AcquisitionStart command is input

2) AcquisitionTriggerWait becomes effective

3) AcquisitionActive becomes “TRUE”

4) Images begin outputting continuously

5) AcquisitionEnd command is sent

6) AcquisitionActive becomes “FALSE”. At this moment, the output stops.

This is the function to set the trigger operation. This will set how to control the output and the exposure.

Frame Start

Trigger

Set the frame start externally

Transfer Start

Stream

Set the stream start externally

10.2.1.1 Acquisition

This is the trigger function to control the output. This controls AcquisitionStart and AcquisitionEnd. A description of the configuration process is as follows:

 AcquisitionStart trigger: Set whether the capture start is to be controlled

externally or not.

TriggerMode On： After AcquisitionStart command is input, input the

signal selected by AcquisitionStart trigger as the trigger, and make AcquisitionActive effective.

TriggerMode Off： AcquisitionStart command is input. It makes

AcquisitionActive effective regardless of AcquisitionStart trigger.

 AcquisitionEnd trigger: Set whether the end of the capture is to be controlled externally or not.

TriggerMode On： While AcquisitionActive is effective, input the signal

selected by AcquisitionEnd as the trigger, and make AcquisitionActive invalid.

TriggerMode Off： AcquisitionStart command is input. It makes

AcquisitionActive invalid regardless of the trigger

source.

10.2.1.2 Exposure

These commands are used for setting the exposure control. FrameStart is used for trigger input. If ExposureMode is set to Timed or TriggerWidth except OFF, the combination of the ExposureMode setting and FrameStart setting will determine the type of exposure and whether triggering is OFF or ON. The following table shows the combination and the operation.

10.5.1 The exposure timing when the trigger pulse is input

10.5.1.1 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.

Note for setting Exposure Time

For instance, if the exposure time for the color channel is 1/31 sec and that of the monochrome IR channel is 1/87,000 sec, the picture quality of the monochrome IR channel may not be acceptable due to CCD’s operational principle. Accordingly, in EPS mode, each channel’s exposure time should be set the same. If it is necessary to set different exposure times, please confirm the picture quality in advance of usage.

10.5.5 Smearless mode

This function can be used to reduce the smear coming from bright areas or objects within the image. 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 that is visible directly above a bright object in the image, but the smear showing below the object is unaffected. At the falling edge of the trigger pulse the high speed transfer starts. This period is 6.34ms which is 196L. 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.

This function can be set if Smearless Enable in JAI Acquisition Control is set at True.

10.5.6 Reset Continuous Trigger (RCT) mode

The RCT mode operates like EPS (edge pre-select) mode with smearless function. An external trigger pulse will immediately stop the video read out, 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-130GE, this period is 6.34ms which is 196L. 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 appearing above 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.

To use this mode:

Set function:

Trigger mode

：ON

：Sync / Async

Exposure Mode

：Timed

Trigger Source

This function can be set by selecting RCT mode in Exposure mode of JAI Acquisition Control. However, Acqusition Mode, Sync Mode, Exposure Time, and so on should be set.

Important notes on using this mode

 The minimum duration of the trigger is 2 LVAL. The minimum period of the trigger input

is the following.

Sync mode: Async

Smearless period（196L）+1+ Exposure Time(RAW) + Frame interval in continuous operation(L) + 6L

Note: If the next trigger is input during the output of transfer signal, this output signal is immediately stopped and thrown away by the High Speed Transfer operation.

10.5.8 Delayed Readout EPS and PWC Modes

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 Frame Start Trigger and is stored in the memory located at the Ethernet Interface. By the leading edge of the Transfer Start Trigger,

AD-130GE

the image data is output. AD-130GE has up to 6 memories to store, and the stored image data can be output at the consecutive timing of Transfer Start Trigger. After the stored image is transmitted by Transfer Start Trigger, as the memory has the space, it is possible to store new images by Frame Start Trigger.

This mode is available if Acquisition mode is set at ―Continuous‖. This mode can work in EPS mode and PWC mode. This is not available for Sequence Trigger.

Fig.44 Delayed readout concept drawing

The image is captured the following settings; Frame start =ON, Trigger mode = ON and Exposure mode = Timed or Trigger Width Then, the image is moved to ―Delayed Readout Mode‖, If Trigger Selector is set to Transfer Start.

10.5.9 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 accumulated heights for each ROI should be within 966 lines. Fig.45 Multi mode concept

10.5.9.1 Setting parameters

In order to execute Multi ROI operation, it is necessary to set ROI mode and ROI size and offset.

ROI Mode：

Can be set 1 to 5. This sets the number of ROIs. For multi ROI operation, this should be set from 2 to 5. A total of 5 ROI can be set.

11. Other functions

11.1. Basic functions

The AD-130GE is based on a dichroic prism, allowing precise separation of the visible (color) and near-infrared parts of the spectrum into two separate channels. The visible (color) channel is referred to as Channel 1 and the near-infrared channel is referred to as Channel 2. Channel 1 and 2 can be configured to operate separately or synchronously. When operating separately each channel can be triggered independently.

The AD-130GE can operate in Continuous (free-run) mode or in triggered modes. The variable partial scan mode provides higher frame rates at lower vertical resolution.

11.1.1 2CCD optical assembly

The dichroic prism incorporated in the AD-130GE separates the visible (color) part of the spectrum into a wavelength band from 400nm to 650nm (Channel 1) and the near-IR part into a band ranging from 760 nm to 1000 nm (Channel 2). The figure below shows the concept of the separation into visible and near-IR bands.

Fig.46 Conceptual diagram for 2CCD prism optics

11.1.2 Electronic shutter

The AD-130GE has three shutter modes: programmable exposure, GenICam standard Exposure Time Abs, and auto shutter.

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 values used by the

Visible light Channel 1

Near-IR Channel 2

AD-130GE

camera for the different readout modes. Due to rounding down of calculations, some discrepancies may occur.

The relation between PE value and Time Abs Normal readout PE= INT (Exposure time) µs / (1660/51324000)

(Note: INT means round down.)

Note:The minimum value in normal readout is 16µs.

In the AD-130GE, previous settings are also available in JAI Acquisition Control.

Programmable Exposure Exposure time can be controlled in 1 L unit (32.344µs) from 0L to 982L. As the overhead of 0.4L is added, the actual shutter time is from 0.4L to 982L in the range from 0.4L to 982L. 982 L is the shutter OFF. The actual shutter speed for each operation mode is shown below.

Note: In Pulse Width mode, the minimum trigger pulse width must be >2LVAL.

Auto shutter

Auto shutter works in the range of 1/31 to 1/325 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.

11.1.3 Shading correction

The AD-130GE features a shading correction circuit that can be used for reducing shading resulting from illumination, lens vignetting 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, raw Bayer color, RGB color and monochrome.

11.1.4 White balance

When using the RGB 24-bit and RGB 30-bit output mode, the white balance function is available. It can be used in 3 ways:

1) Continuous (tracking) Automatic White Balance, AWB

2) One-push AWB

3) Manual white balance setting

Manual white balance is achieved by optimizing the manual gain settings for R channel and B channel.

Possibility to store WB settings

Yes

1): When using Continuous AWB, results depend on the surface properties of the object.

2): One-push AWB may take up to 3 seconds to complete.

White Balance Measuring area

The user can select from the following 64 areas to use for detecting the area of white balance measurement. Each one or accumulated areas making rectangular shape as shown can be selected at the same time and if the entire area is used for white balance detection, all 64 areas can be selected.

11.1.5 Blemish compensation

The AD-130GE 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 compensation, 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.

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.
