Usage Precautions

Notes on cable configurations

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

Notes on attaching the lens

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

• Work in a clean environment.

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

• To prevent dust from adhering to surfaces, point the camera and lens downward and do not allow the lens surface to come into contact with your hands or other objects.

•

Always use a blower brush to remove any dust that adheres.

Never use your hands or cloth, blow with your mouth, or use other methods to remove dust.

GO-5100MP-USB

Phenomena specific to CMOS image sensors

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

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

• Blooming When strong light enters the camera, some pixels on the CMOS image sensor may receive much more light than they are designed to hold, causing the accumulated signal charge to overflow into surrounding pixels.This “blooming” phenomenon can be seen in the image, but does not affect the operation of the camera.

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

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

Notes on exportation

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

Camera Image Output Modes

The GO-5100MP-USB has five output modes.

First, we will explain about the monochrome CMOS image sensor with a four-directional polarization square pixel array that is incorporated in this camera.

A polarizer with one of the four angles of 0º, 45º, 90º, and 135º is provided for each pixel.

The number of effective pixels is 2464 x 2056, and polarizers angled at 90º and 45º are provided alternately for each pixel on the first line. Polarizers angled at 135º and 0º are provided alternately for each pixel on the second line.

2464 pixels

2056 pixels

1. RawImage mode The data output from the image sensor is output as is from the camera. As shown in the figure above, the data of the pixels where there are polarizers angled at 90º and 45º is output as the first line, and the data of the pixels where there are polarizers angled at 135º and 0º is output as the second line.

— 24 —

2. FourPolarizeElement mode The data is output arranged as a screen divided into four (pixels of the polarizers angled at 45º at the top right, pixels of the polarizers angled at 90º at the top left, pixels of the polarizers angled at 0º at the bottom right, and pixels of the polarizers angled at 135º at the bottom left).

1232 pixels

1028 pixels

GO-5100MP-USB

3. FourFunctions mode

This mode allows you to set each quadrant of the screen to one of five available functions. The five selectable functions are:

PolarizeAngle (polarization angle), PolarizeRatio (polarization ratio), DiffusedLight (diffused light), PolarizedLight (polarized light), and AverageLight (average brightness)

The follow example shows the settings that would be used to configure the output into four functions arranged as shown in the screen diagram below.

GO-5100MP-USB

*) The same function can be output in multiple quadrants.

Polarization angle: The polarization angle producing the greatest luminance for a given pixel block. Intensity values assigned to pixels represent angles from 0 to 180˚. 8-bit output: 00000000 to 10110100 10-bit output: 0000000000 to 1110000100

Polarization ratio: The proportion of polarized light (at the angle described above) contained within the total light falling on a pixel block. Intensity values represent proportions of polarized light from 0 to 100%. 8-bit output: 00000000 to 11111111 10-bit output: 0000000000 to 1111111111

Diffused light: The intensity of light falling on a pixel block when some or all of the polarized light is excluded. The ReflectionAdjust control determines how much of the polarized component is removed. The higher the ReflectionAdjust setting, the more polarized light is removed. Set to maximum to display only the diffused component.

Polarized light: The intensity of the polarized light that is falling on a pixel block after the diffused light has been excluded.

Average light: The brightness of a pixel block when the polarized component and the diffused component are averaged.

Two additional output modes are available to users. These are not selectable in the FourFunctions mode. Instead, they produce a single image that combines information from the functions above with the main image being captured.

4. ColorOnPicture mode

This mode provides a pseudo-color overlay representing polarization angle and polarization ratio information displayed over an image built using average light information. The PixelFormat is automatically changed in this mode as follows: When PixelFormat is Mono8, the image is output as BayerRG8 When PixelFormat is Mono10, the image is output as BayerRG10 When PixelFormat is Mono10Packed, the image is output as BayerRG10Packed

5. ColorOnGray mode

This mode provides a pseudo-color overlay representing polarization angle and polarization ratio information displayed over a gray image. The PixelFormat is automatically changed in this mode as follows: When PixelFormat is Mono8, the image is output as BayerRG8 When PixelFormat is Mono10, the image is output as BayerRG10 When PixelFormat is Mono10Packed, the image is output as BayerRG10Packed

GO-5100MP-USB

Binning Function

The binning function allows you to combine the signal values of clusters of adjacent pixels to create improved virtual pixels. Using the function results in images with lower pixel resolution and higher sensitivity.

This camera performs both horizontal binning and vertical binning via digital addition or averaging processing.

The following four conditions must be met to use the binning function.

1. [PolarizeImageSelector] is [RawImage].

2. The ROI function, sequencer function, and binning function cannot be used at the same time.

3. PixelFormat is one of Mono8, Mono10, and Mono10p.

4. [VideoProcessBypassMode] is [Off].

■ When horizontal binning only (2x1)

The signal values of the pixels having polarizers at the same angle are combined. The signal values of the two pixels indicated by the red frames in the following figure are combined.

■ Maximum frame rate period formula

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

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

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

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

When the exposure time is longer than the frame interval

• Maximum exposure time at maximum frame rate MaxExposureTime_TrOlrd = (1 / FR_Cont) - (14 × H Period)

• Exposure time outside of frame interval NonOverlapExposureTime = ExposureTime - MaxExposureTime_TrOlrd

However, NonOverlapExposureTime calculation results that are 0 or below will be considered as 0.

• Maximum frame rate FR_ContLongExposure = 1/{(1/FR_Cont) + NonOverlapExposureTime}

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

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

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

ExposureMode

ExposureMode Description

Off Exposure control is not performed (free-running operation).

Timed

Mode in which control is performed using exposure time. Acquire

images using an exposure time configured beforehand on an external

trigger.

TriggerWidth

Mode in which control of the exposure time is performed using the

pulse width of the trigger input signal. The exposure time will be the

same as the pulse width of the trigger input signal. This allows long

exposure.

Exposure Mode Shortest exposure time

Timed

The following exposure modes are available on the camera.

GO-5100MP-USB

* T h e settings for exposure control and triggers are related to each other. Be sure to configure the settings described in “Trigger Control”.

Actual Exposure Times

The shortest exposure times that can be configured are as follows.

・The actual exposure time will consist of the image sensor’s offset duration (13.7 μs) added to the setting configured on the camera.

・When [ExposureMode] is set to [Timed] and the exposure time is set to 1 μs, the actual exposure time will be as follows. 1 μs + 13.7 μs (offset duration of image sensor) = 14.7 μs

・When [ExposureMode] is set to [TriggerWidth], the exposure is slightly longer than the width of the trigger signal. To achieve an exposure time of 14.7 µs and the exposure time offset is 13.7 µs, use 14.7 µs - 13.7 µs = 1 µs as the high or low time for the trigger signal.

BlemishCompensation

Multiple defective pixels that are not adjacent to each other can occur on conventional CMOS sensor cameras. This camera features a function that interpolates defective pixels using the surrounding pixels. Up to 256 pixels can be corrected for each of the three sensors. Pixel interpolation can be performed via automatic detection or point-by-point manual settings.

■ Automatic detection

Automatic detection can only detect lit defective pixels (i.e., white blemishes).

Shield the camera sensor.

If a lens is attached, use the lens cap as a shield, for example.

Configure the threshold level for defective pixel detection.

Up to 256 pixels can be corrected. The threshold value is specified as a percentage. The default setting is "10" with 10% of the full scale (100%) specified as the threshold value.

GO-5100MP-USB

Execute [BlemishDetect] to start automatic detection.

After detection, the interpolation data is saved to the camera's internal memory.

To check the number of interpolated pixels after automatic detection

You can check the number of pixels interpolated via automatic detection by loading the BlemishNum data.

■ Manual configuration

Select the index in [BlemishCompensationIndex].

You can select from 0 to 255. However, configure the indexes in order starting with the smallest index. If you skip indexes while configuring settings, interpolation may not be performed.

Specify the pixel points for interpolation using the

[BlemishCompensationPositionX] and [BlemishCompensationPositionY] settings.

You can configure values that are within the total effective pixel area. Specify pixels for which interpolation is not necessary as -1. If 0 is specified, the first line or first pixel will be interpolated.

Note

BlemishCompensationDataClear[BlemishCompensationIndex], you can return a specific pixel correction setting to the default value (storage not required).

Execute [BlemishStore].

Blemish compensation data will be stored.

Set [BlemishEnable] to [True], and execute interpolation.

If it is set to [False] , Blemish compensation is not effective.

ShadingCorrection

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

The size of the correction block is 20 (H) × 17 (V) blocks and calculation errors in the correction data are minimized due to the small interpolation block. Each block is 128 × 128 pixels.The total size of the blocks is 2560 (H) × 2176 (V), but the actual number of effective pixels for the camera is 2464 (H) × 2056 (V). The ineffective peripheral areas will be deleted internally on the camera automatically.

GO-5100MP-USB

The following shading correction modes are available on the camera.

■ FlatShading

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

Pre-correction

Post-correction

Caution

Proper correction is not possible under the following conditions.

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

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

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

Sequencer Function

The Sequencer function lets you define up to 128 index combinations of exposure time, gain, ROI, and other settings which can be stepped through each time a trigger is received.This is particularly useful for quickly capturing multiple exposures of objects under inspection to adjust for areas or components with significantly different levels of reflectance. You can specify the next index in the stepping sequence and the order in which indexes are executed. Multiple indexes can also be executed repeatedly.

Two operation modes (TriggerSequencer mode and CommandSequencer mode) are available for the Sequencer function.

Note

The following four conditions must be met to use the Sequencer function.

1. [PolarizeImageSelector] is [RawImage].

2. Sequencer Width, Sequencer Offset X function, and Sequencer H Binning function cannot be used at the same time.

3. Sequencer Height, Sequencer Offset Y function, and Sequencer V Binning function cannot be used at the same time.

GO-5100MP-USB

About indexes (imaging conditions)

Up to 128 indexes can be configured.The following settings can be configured for each index. However, SequencerFrameNumber and SequencerSetNext can only be configured in TriggerSequencer mode.

Trigger Sequencer mode

With this mode, the Sequencer Trigger “pattern” is predetermined by the user. The user defines up to 128 different “indexes.” The items indicated in the above index can be configured for each index. The operation of this mode is controlled using the following five commands.

[SequencerSetActive]

This allows you to confirm the currently configured index number.

[SequencerSetStart]

This configures the index number to execute at the start of TriggerSequencer mode.

[SequencerReset]

During TriggerSequencer mode operation, this switches the index number to be executed to that specified in [SequencerSetStart].

[SequencerRepetition]

This parameter applies to TriggerSequencer patterns which include an index whose [SequencerROINextIndex] is set to 0 (OFF).When the index whose [SequencerROINextIndex] is set to 0 (OFF) is finished executing, the value of Sequencer Repetition (range = 1-255) is decremented internally. If the result of the decrement is not zero, the TriggerSequencer pattern starts over from the index specified in SequencerSetStart. If the result of the decrement is zero, the status changes to Acquisition Stop and external triggers are not accepted.

— 42 —

Sample TriggerSequencer mode operation

User-defined Indexes (up to 128)

Triggers/ Image Frames

Specify "1" in [SequencerSetStart], and start TriggerSequencer mode with index 1.

Capture a 2-frame image with the first and second triggers.

GO-5100MP-USB

For the next index, configure index 3 specified in [SequencerSetNext], and capture

an image with the number of frames (number of triggers) specified in [SequencerFrameNumber].

Proceed to sequence from index 4 to index 2 to index 1.

Note

In addition to repeating multiple conditions as in the above example, you can specify "0" (which indicates the end of TriggerSequencer mode) in [SequencerSetNext] of index 2, and specify the number of repetitions in [SequencerRepetition].

Command Sequencer mode

As with TriggerSequencer mode, you can define up to 128 indexes beforehand in this mode. Set [SequencerCommandIndex] to point to one of your pre-configured indexes. This index will be executed on each trigger, until it is changed to point to a different index, typically by your vision application. In this way, Command Sequencer mode allows you to programmatically adjust your sequence in response to image analysis or input from other sensors.

Note

• The same index table will be executed for subsequent triggers unless the [CommandSequencerIndex] value is changed.

• [SequencerFrameNumber] and [SequencerSetNext] cannot be used in CommandSequencer mode.

Delayed Readout

Delayed readout allows images captured by a [FrameStart] trigger command to be stored temporarily inside the camera (delayed readout buffer) and read out using a [AcquisitionTransferStart] trigger after capture.This function is useful when executing triggers simultaneously on multiple cameras.

Note

This function imposes a heavy processing load on the network bandwidth, as images from multiple cameras are read out simultaneously. The number of frames that can be stored for delayed readout depends on PixelFormat.

For details, see “Trigger Control” .

CounterAndTimerControl Function

The counter function counts up change points in the camera’s internal signals using the camera’s internal counter, and reads that information from the host side. This function is

useful for verifying error conditions via the count value using internal camera operations.Counting is performed at frame trigger, frame start, exposure start, and exposure transfer end, and by comparing these values, you can determine the internal camera state at which missed triggers will occur.

Chunk Data Function

The Chunk Data function adds camera configuration information to the image data that is output from the camera. Embedding camera configuration information in the image data allows you to use the serial number of the camera as a search key and find specific image data from among large volumes of image data. In addition, when images are shot with a single camera in sequence under multiple setting conditions, you can search for images by their setting conditions. The following information can be added to image data as chunk data.

■ Configuring Chunk Data

Set [ChunkModeActive] to [True].

Select the items of information you want added to image data with

[ChunkSelector], and set [ChunkEnable] from [False] to [True].

Note

When [ChunkModeActive] is set to [True], [ChunkImage] is automatically set to [True].

GO-5100MP-USB

Caution

The Chunk Data function settings cannot be changed during image output. To change the settings, stop Acquisition.

*) For items that can be added to image data as Chunk Data, refer to [m) ChunkDataControl] in the setting item list.

Video Process Bypass Mode

The video process bypass mode is a function that bypasses internal video processing on the camera. When bypass is enabled, the sensor output and camera output data can be set to the same bit width. Operation using 12-bit outputs must be performed in bypass mode.

Miscellaneous

Problem Cause and solution

The POWER/TRIG LED remains lit amber and

does not turn green, even after power is

supplied to the camera.

Camera initialization may not be complete

due to lack of a network connection. Check

the 12-pin power cable connection.

Problem Cause and solution

Gradation in dark areas is not noticeable.

Use the gamma function to correct the

display.

As the light-emitting properties of the

onitor are not linear, the entire image may

be darker or the gradation in the dark areas

may be less noticeable when camera outputs

are displayed without processing. Using the

gamma function performs correction to

produce a display that is close to linear.

For details, see “Gamma Function”.

Problem Cause and solution

Settings cannot be saved to user memory.

You cannot save to user memory while

images are being acquired by the camera.

Stop image acquisition before performing the

save operation.

I want to restore the factory default settings.

Load [Default] under [User Set Selector] in

the [Feature Properties] tab to restore the

factory default settings.
