LUT (Lookup Table)

The LUT function is used to generate a non-linear mapping between signal values captured on the sensor and those that are output from the camera. You can specify the output curve using 256 setting points (indexes).

■ To use the LUT function

Configure the settings as follows.

Item Setting value / selectable range Description

JAI LUT Mode LUT Use LUT.

LUT Selector* R, G, B Select the LUT channel to control.

LUT Index SP-12000M-CXP4: 0 to 255

SP-12000C-CXP4: 0 to 255

Select the LUT index to configure. Indexes represent the possible pixel values captured on the sensor, from the lowest value (Index 0) to the highest (Index

255). For example, Index 0 represents a full black pixel and Index 255 represents a full white pixel.

LUT Value 0 to 4095 Set the LUT output value for the selected index.

* SP-12000C-CXP4 only

Note

R, G, and B are configured separately on the SP-12000C-CXP4.

■ LUT values

LUT values range from 0 at the lowest to 4095 at the highest. Linear interpolation is used to calculate LUT values between the index points.

Gamma Function

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

Example of the light-emitting properties of the monitor display

■ To use the gamma function

Configure the settings as follows.

Item Setting value / selectable range Description

SP-12000M-CXP4 / SP-12000C-CXP4

■ Sequence Trigger function

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

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

Trigger Sequence mode

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

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

•Exposure Time

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

•Black Level

•Binning Mode (monochrome only)

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

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

•Next Index to execute in the predetermined pattern

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

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

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

In Trigger Sequence mode, patterns always begin with Index1. Subsequent triggers follow the userdefined values in [Sequence Index Frame Count] and [Sequence ROI Next Index]. Assigning a Next Index value of “1” to an index creates a loop back to the start of the sequence pattern. As there is no defined “end” to a sequence, the parameter called [Sequence Repetition] has no effect.

Sequence LUT mode

Command Sequence mode

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

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

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

•Exposure Time

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

•Black Level

•Binning Mode (monochrome only)

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

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

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

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

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

Video Process Bypass Mode

The Video Process Bypass mode is a function that bypasses internal image processing on the camera. On the SP-12000, DSNU correction and shading, gain, blemish, and black level adjustment are normally performed on the sensor output signal. However, when the Video Process Bypass mode is used, images can be imported to the system without image processing* being performed internally on the camera. The Video Process Bypass mode is ideally used in cases where image processing is performed by the system. In addition, images are output from the camera in 12-bit format only when the Video Process Bypass function is used.

* Excluding DSNU correction and black level adjustment.

SP-12000M-CXP4 / SP-12000C-CXP4

Miscellaneous

Troubleshooting

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

■ Power supply and connections

Problem Cause and solution

The POWER / 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 CXP connection. Check the CXP cable conection.

■ Image display

Problem Cause and solution

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

As the light-emitting properties of the monitor are not linear, the entire image may be darker or the gradation in the dark areas may be less noticeable when camera outputs are displayed without processing. Using the gamma function performs correction to produce a display that is close to linear. For details, see “Gamma Function” (page 38).

■ Settings and operations

Problem Cause and solution

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

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

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

Properties] tab to restore the factory default settings.
