Camera operation

1. General

This manual covers the digital monochrome progressive scan camera CM-030GE/CM030GE-RA and color progressive scan camera CB-030GE/CB-030GE-RA

The CM-030GE/CM-030GE-RA/CB-030GE/CB-030GE-RA are a new additions to JAI GigE Vision compliant camera series. Both the monochrome version CM-030GE/CM-030GE-RA and the color version CB-030GE/CB-030GE-RA provide a frame rate of 90.5 frames/second at full resolution. Using vertical binning (CM-030GE/CM-030GE-RA only) and partial scan provides higher frame rates. The 1/3" CCD with square pixels offers a 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 color version CB-030GE/CB-030GE-RA, based on CCD sensor with primary RGB Bayer mosaic filter, outputs raw Bayer images. Host-based color interpolation is required to display or save color images.

The CM-030GE/CM-030GE-RA/CB-030GE/CB-030GE-RA also comply 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 GigE®Vision standard, please go to

6. Input and output interface

6.1. GPIO interface

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), 4 Pulse Generators and a 12-bit counter. In the LUT, the relationship between inputs, counters and outputs is governed by internal register set-up.

The input and output settings for the CM-030GE and CB-030GE series have been fixed as follows.

6.1.1 LUT (Look Up Table)

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. Trigger 0 is connected to the camera's timing circuit and is used for initiating triggered exposure. Trigger 1 is used for Delayed Readout mode. The Time Stamp Reset signal is used reset the camera's time stamp function, also making it possible to reset and synchronize the time stamp of multiple cameras.

6.1.2 12-bit Counter

A 25 MHz clock or the camera pixel clock (40 MHz) 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.

6.1.3. 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, end point and number of repetitions. 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.

Fig.7 Generated pulse

Setting example:

The following example shows the FVAL input to pulse generator. The pulse generator creates the pulse using FVAL and the pulse is output through GPIO PORT 1. The pixel clock is 60MHz.

The created pulse rises up at the start point and falls down at the end point as shown above. Accordingly, the High duration is (End point – Start point) clocks x (1/ Pulse gen. frequency).

In the above example, the original oscillation uses pixel clock (60 MHz) and the pixel clock is divided by 2400. A pulse frequency of the generator is 25 KHz ( 60000000/2400). As the start point is 0 and the end point is 99, the pulse having 100 x 1/25000 = 4ms width is created.

Fig 8. Pulse generator setting example

- 13 -

CM-030GE/CM-030GE-RA / CB-030GE/CB-030GE-RA

If the HIGH duration needs to be delayed against incoming trigger, the start point should be set at “N“. The delay value is N x (1/ 25000). In the above example, N is “0” which is no delay. The length, in this case, is 102 clocks.

These settings can be achieved by JAI Control tool which is the part of JAI SDK.

6.2. 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. The below figure shows the functional principle (opto-coupler) of the opto-isolated inputs/outputs.

Important Note: By using the Optical Black (OB) transfer mode, the user can select whether to include optical black pixels in the image stream.

7.2. Vertical Binning (CM-030GE/CM-030GE-RA only)

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. 13 shows the binning principle. Resolution and frame rate for all combinations are shown in the below table. Fig.13. CM-030GE/CM-030GE-RA binning The CM-030GE/CM-030GE-RA has ON or OFF function for Vertical Binning:

Note: CB-030GE/CB-030GE-RA has the same Bayer sequence for Full and any of partial

scanning as RG. Therefore, comparing full scanning and partial scanning, the center might be shifted.

As the Pixel Format type, CB-030GE/CB-030GE-RA supports BAYER GB 8 and BAYER GB 10. When these types are selected, the output starts from 2nd line for all scanning.

7.4. CB-030GE/CB-030GE-RA. Bayer filter

CB-030GE/CB-030GE-RA is a color camera based on a CCD sensor with a Bayer RGB color mosaic. The color image reconstruction is done in the host PC. The Color sequence in the video signal is the same for all scanning formats.

The line readout follows LVAL. The first valid pixel is the same timing as DVAL.

The Bayer color sequence starts with: RGR for odd numbers. GBG for even line numbers.

8. Network configuration

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

Guide” supplied with the JAI SDK.

8.1. GigE Vision Standard Interface

The CM-030GE/CM-030GE-RA and CB-030GE/CB-030GE-RA are designed in accordance with the GigE Vision standard. It transmits digital images 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 trigged. 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 software trigger, certain latency inherent to the GigE interface must be anticipated. This latency, that 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.

8.2. Equipment to configure the network system

8.2.1 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

8.2.2 Cables

GigEVision configures the system by using 1000BASE-T. (100BASE-T can be used with some restriction. Refer to chapter 8.3.6). 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).

8.2.3 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.

CM-030GE/CM-030GE-RA / CB-030GE/CB-030GE-RA

JAI confirms the following network cards.

8.2.4 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.

8.3. Recommended Network Configurations

Although the CM-030GE and CB-030GE series conform 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.

8.3.1 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.

8.3.2 Video data rate (network bandwidth)

The video bit rate for CM-030GE/CM-030GE-RA and CB-030GE/CB-030GE-RA is:

In case of using Jumbo Frame, the packet data will be improved by 2 %.

For CM-030GE/CM-030GE-RA and CB-030GE/CB-030GE-RA, the jumbo frame can be set at maximum 4040 Bytes (Factory setting is 1440 Bytes). To set Jumbo Frame, refer to chapter 8.2.4.

8.3.3 Note for setting packet size

The packet size is set to 1428 as the factory default. 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. The packet size can be modified in the GigE Vision Transport Layer Control section of the camera control tool.

Regarding data transfer rate, a larger packet size produces a slightly lower data transfer rate. The CM-030GE and CB-030GE sereis can support a maximum of 4040 byte packets provided the NIC being used has a Jumbo Frames function with a setting of a 4040 bytes or larger.

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.

8.3.4 Calculation of Data Transfer Rate

In order to calculate the data transfer rate, the following parameters and formula are required.

Formula to calculate Data Transfer Rate

The following table shows Bits per Pixel (Item C) which depends on the pixel format.

Calculation example: CM-140GE Pixel type RGB8

G=ROUNDUP{(656x494x8/8/(1500-36))+2=222+2=224 J={90+64+(1500+18)x(224-2)}x8x90/1000000=243 Mbit/s

8.3.5 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 CM-030GE with the full image and MONO8 pixel format; The data transfer rate = 656 x 494 x 8 x 90 / 1000000 = 233 Mbit/s

8.3.6 Note for 100BASE-TX connection

 In case of connecting on 100BASE-TX, the maximum packet size should be 1500 byte.  In case of connecting on 100BASE-TX, the specifications such as frame rate, trigger

interval etc. described in this manual cannot be satisfied.

 100BASE-T works in FULL DUPLEX. It does not work in HALF DUPLEX.

8.4. GigE camera connecting examples

8.4.1 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.

8.4.2 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 will be heavy, so a powerful PC will most likely be required.

 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.

8.4.3.2 If delayed readout is not used in trigger mode

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

9. Functions and operations

9.1. Basic functions

The CM-030GE/CM-030GE-RA and CB-030GE/CB-030GE-RA cameras are progressive scan cameras with 10 or 8-bit video output in Gigabit Ethernet. An analogue iris video signal (DIP switch select) can be used for controlling auto-iris lenses.

The camera has 2/3, 1/2, 1/4 or 1/8 partial scanning for faster frame rates. Vertical binning is also available. The camera can operate in continuous mode as well as in 5 triggered modes:

- Edge Pre-select (EPS)

- Pulse width Control (PWC)

- Reset continuous (RCT)

- Sequential trigger (EPS)

- Delayed readout (EPS, PWC)

Depending on the timing of the trigger input in relationship to FVAL (camera internal Frame Valid clock), the start of exposure can be immediate (no-delay, LVAL asynchronous) or delayed until next LVAL (LVAL synchronous). In the following section the functions are described in detail.

9.2. Electronic Shutter

In the GenICam SFNC interface, the electronic shutter is set by Exposure time (microseconds). The traditional JAI method for shutter setting can also be used including JAI Shutter Mode, JAI Preset Shutter, JAI Exposure Time Raw and JAI Exposure Time (us). If setting is done using the SFNC method, these settings are automatically reflected in the traditional JAI settings area.

Preset Shutter

10 preset shutter steps are available: OFF (1/90); 1/100, 1/120; 1/250; 1/500; 1/1,000; 1/2,000; 1/4,000; 1/8,000; 1/10,000 sec.

Programmable Shutter

It is possible to set the shutter speed in the range of 2L to 511L by 1L unit, in case of Full Frame operation. When 511L is set, it is the equivalent of “OFF (1/90)“ or 11.037ms.

Pulse Width Control

With this mode selected the exposure time is controlled by the width of the trigger pulse. The minimum trigger pulse width is equal to 1L (21.6 µs)

CM-030GE/CM-030GE-RA / CB-030GE/CB-030GE-RA

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 below equations show the relationship between the PE value used by the camera for the different readout modes and the "Exposure Time Abs" value entered in register 0xA018. As the calculation is based on rounding down to the closest integer, precise values may not always occur.

The relation between PE value and Time Abs: Normal readout PE= 2 + INT V Binning readout PE= 2 + INT (Exposure time -46) µs / (936/40000000)

Note: (1) INT means integer (rounded down). (2) Pixel clocks/line. (3) Pixel clock

GPIO in combination with Pulse Width Trigger

More precise exposure time can be obtained by using GPIO in combination with Pulse Width Trigger mode. The clock generator and counter can be programmed in very fine increments. As for the setting example, refer to chapter 6.5.1.

9.3. Auto-detect LVAL-sync / a-sync. accumulation

This function replaces the manual setting found in older JAI cameras. Whether accumulation is synchronous or a-synchronous in relationship to LVAL depends on the timing of the trigger input. When trigger is received while FVAL is high (during readout), the camera works in LVALsynchronous mode, preventing reset feed trough in the video signal. There is a maximum jitter of one LVAL period from issuing a trigger and accumulation start. If trigger is received when FVAL is low, the cameras works in LVAL-asynchronous mode (no delay) mode. This applies to both pre-select (PS) trigger mode and pulse width trigger (PW) mode.

10. Operation Modes

The CM-030GE and CB-030GE series comply with GenICam SFNC (Standard Features Naming Convention) version 1.3 and the acquisition of the image, the trigger functions, the exposure settings and so on are different from those used in early versions of these cameras.

Note: In this section, the GUI shown is from the CB-200GE.

10.1. The functions related to GenICam SFNC 1.3

The following functions are the most affected by SFNC 1.3.

Features – Acquisition and Trigger Control

Acquisition mode

The image can be captured in two ways, continuous or single fame.

 Continuous By executing AcquisitionStart command, the image can be output until AcqusitionStop

Trigger is input.

 Single Frame By executing AcquisitionStart command, one frame of the image can be output and then

the acquisition is stopped.

Trigger Selector

This can be selected from FrameStart or TransferStart.  FrameStart The trigger pulse can take one frame capture.  TransferStart The trigger pulse can read out the image stored in the frame memory. This is used for the

delayed Readout

TriggerMode

This selects either trigger mode (ON) or continuous mode (OFF).

TriggerSoftware

This is one of the trigger sources which enables trigger commands to be created using software. In order to use TriggerSoftware, TriggerSource should be set at Software.

TriggerSource

The trigger source can be selected from the following signals.

- 37 -

CM-030GE/CM-030GE-RA / CB-030GE/CB-030GE-RA

TriggerActivation

This can set how the trigger is activated.

 RisingEdge: The trigger is effective at the rising edge of the pulse.  FallingEdge: The trigger is effective at the falling edge of the pulse.

ExposureMode

This can select the exposure mode.

 Timed: The exposure is set in units of μ seconds or lines.

 TriggerWidth: The exposure is the same as the trigger width.

The CM-030GE and CB-030GE series have a JAI Acquisition and Trigger Control function which is the same as used for previous models and includes 7 types of exposure modes.

Acquisition and Trigger Control and JAI Acquisition and Trigger Control are linked to each other and if the one is set, the setting parameters are reflected in the other.

The following is an example: when JAI Acquisition and Trigger Control is set at EPS, TriggerMode is automatically set ON and ExposureMode is set to Timed.

- 38 -

CM-030GE/CM-030GE-RA / CB-030GE/CB-030GE-RA

The exposure time can be set in the JAI Shutter Mode by selecting either lines or microseconds and the setting values are reflected in the same items of Acquisition and Trigger Control.

Other parameters such as trigger signal should be set in Acquisition and Trigger Control.

The following description uses JAI Acquisition and Trigger Control and the operation mode can be selected in JAI Exposure Mode.

10.2. Operation Mode

This camera can operate in 6 primary modes.

1. Continuous Mode Pre-selected exposure

2. Pre-select trigger mode Pre-selected exposure

3. Pulse Width Control trigger mode Pulse width controlled exposure

4. Reset Continuous trigger mode Pre-selected exposure

5. Sequential Trigger Pre-selected exposure

6. Delayed Readout Trigger Pre-selected exposure,PWC

10.2.1 Continuous operation

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 a-synchronous. The resulting video signal will start to be read out after the selected shutter time.

For timing details, refer to fig. 19. through fig.24 and figures 28 and 29.

To use this mode:

Important notes on using this mode

 Trigger pulse >2 LVAL to <1 FVAL)  The following table shows minimum trigger interval in synchronous accumulation mode

1) In case of a-synchronous mode, the exposure time should be added to the above table.

2) In order to keep the minimum trigger interval in partial scan mode, a exposure time should be set within a number of normal read out line(511L). If it is exceeded, the minimum trigger interval is longer by (exposure time – 511L).

10.2.4 Reset Continuous (RCT) trigger mode

The RCT mode operates like EPS (edge preselect) 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 read out is performed. In the CM-030GE/ CB-030GE, this period is

1.3608ms which is 63L. 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 read out has the same effect as “smearless read out”. 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.

To use this mode:

For each sequence,

The following table shows the minimum trigger interval in synchronous accumulation mode. In case of a-synchronous accumulation mode, the exposure time should be added to figures in this table.

 The conditions for this table are that the shutter speed should be set the same for all

sequences. If the shutter speed is different, the difference of exposure time should be added. It is recommended to set the exposure time in the order from the shortest to the longest one.

 The minimum trigger interval is > Exposure time (expressed in L(Line)) + FVAL on Normal

scan ( 511L) + 1L )

 Do not input the trigger just after the sequence is reset. It requires at least 500ms delay.  In sequential mode, the exposure should be adjusted so that the LVAL a-sync mode can

always be functioned.

11. JAI control tool

In this section, the general operation of the JAI control tool is explained. For more details regarding the JAI control tool, please refer to the JAI control tool documentation provided in the JAI SDK.

11.1. About GenICamTMSFNC1.3

The CM-030GE and CB-030GE series are now redesigned as conforming to GenICam SFNC1.3. GenICam SFNC stands for GenICam Standard Features Naming Convention. By defining the standard cases and the standard features, general-purpose software can control cameras from any manufacturers which conform to the GenICam standard.

JAI, in the past, used traditional feature names in order to maintain naming continuity with previous cameras. However, new revisions of cameras comply with GenICam SFNC feature names, even though the traditional feature names are still maintained.

Terminologies used for functions will be much different from previous models. This manual explains the basic operation using feature names specified in the GenICam SFNC 1.3 specification.

The latest version of JAI GigE Vision cameras comply with GenICam SFNC1.3. However, JAI can offer the following options for customers who use older versions of GIgE Vision cameras.

JAI provides the following software.

1. Version prior to SFNC 1.3 for older camera version

2. Downgrade to old version from the latest SFNC 1.3 version

Please contact local sales representatives for the details

11.2. JAI SDK Ver.1.3

JAI SDK has also been upgraded to version 1.3. In a GigE Vision compliant camera, all features are described in the XML file inside the camera and after connecting JAI Control Tool software, all features are downloaded to the JAI Control Tool software. If customers use older versions of cameras together with the Control Tool software ver.1.3, feature properties shown in the Control Tool exhibit old feature names, enabling customers to operate cameras in a familiar way.

If the latest version of the camera is connected, some traditional JAI feature names such as JAI Preset Shutter, will display in the Feature Properties in addition to the newer GenICam SFNC 1.3 names.

These features can be set as usual and settings for those features are reflected automatically in the GenICam SFNC 1.3 feature names.

14. Appendix

14.1. 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.

14.2. 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 using sea shipment instead of air flight in order to limit the influence of cosmic rays to 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.

14.3. Caution when mounting a lens on the camera

When mounting a lens on the camera dusts 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.
