Usage Precautions

— 5 —

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 LAN cable connection

Secure the locking screws on the connector manually,
and do not use a driver. Do not secure the screws too
tightly. Doing so may wear down the screw threads
on the camera. (Tightening torque: 0.147 Nm or less)

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.

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.

Secure manually.
Do not secure too tightly.

ExposureMode

The following exposure modes are available on the camera.

* T h e settings for exposure control and triggers are related to each other. Be sure to configure the

settings described in “Trigger Control”.

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.

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 (14.26 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 + 14.26 μs (offset duration of image sensor) = 15.26 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 15.26 µs and the exposure time offset
is 14.26 µs, use 15.26 µs - 14.26 µs = 1 µs as the high or low time for the trigger signal.

Trigger Control

The camera allows the following controls to be performed via external trigger signals.

• The settings for exposure control and triggers are related to each other. Be sure to

conf

igure the settings described in “ExposureMode” .

(1) You can delay when exposure actually starts after a trigger is received by a sp

ecific

amount of time by configuring [TriggerDelay].

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.

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 800 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

Auto

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

1

Shield the camera sensor.

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

2

Configure the threshold level for defective pixel detection.

Up to 800 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.

3

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

1

Select the index in [BlemishCompensationIndex].

You can select from 1 to 800. However, configure the indexes in order starting
with the smallest index. If you skip indexes while configuring settings,
interpolation may not be performed.

2

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.

3

Execute [BlemishStore].

Blemish compensation data will be stored.

Note

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

4

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

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

ShadingCorrection

The ShadingCorrection function 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).

This function can be used even when the effective image area is limited (an area with both
Width and Height set to more than 128 must be configured) by the ROI function. In such
cases, the correction area is included in the image area configured by the ROI.

SP-12401M-PGE
For a full image, the number of correction blocks is 17 (H) × 12 (V) blocks and calculation
errors in the correction data are minimized due to the small interpolation areas. Each block is
256 × 256 pixels. The total size of the blocks is 4352 (H)× 3072 (V), but the actual number of
effective pixels for the camera is 4112 (H) ×3008 (V) .The ineffective peripheral areas will be
deleted internally on the camera automatically.

SP-12401C-PGE
For a full image, the number of correction blocks is 16 (H) × 12 (V) blocks.
The total size of the blocks is 4096 (H) × 3072 (V).
The actual number of effective pixels for the camera is 4088 (H) x 3000 (V).

When using ROI, the number of blocks and the number of pixels that comprise each block
differ from a full image.

The following shading correction modes are available on the camera.

■ FlatShading

Cor

rection 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.

■ ColorShading (SP-12401C-PGE only)

R-cha

nnel and B-channel properties are adjusted to using the G-channel shading properties

as a reference.

Pre-correction

Post-correction

• For FlatShading and ColorShading, the maximum amount of correction gain for all pixels is
limited to 8 times the amount of gain before correction. (The amount of gain cannot be
increased to more than 8 times the amount of gain from before correction.)

• If the area in the screen with the highest brightness level is 175 LSB or less (during 10-bit
video output), proper correction is not possible.

Caution

■ To use the shading correction function

Configure the settings as follows.

Display a white chart under a uniform light, and execute [PerformShadingCalibration].

Note

After shading correction is executed, the shading correction value is automatically saved to the
user area selected in [ShadingMode].

Binning Function

(SP-12401M-PGE only)
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.

ROI (Regional Scanning Function)

The ROI (region of interest) function allows you to output images by specifying the areas to
scan.

ROI Settings

Specify the area to scan by specifying width, height, and horizontal/vertical offset values
under [ImageFormatControl].
For details on how to configure the settings, see “Configuring the Output Format”.
You can increase the frame rate by specifying a lower height, as the number of lines scanned
decreases.The setting ranges for the ROI function's readable area based on the Binning
setting (BinningHorizontal, BinningVertical) are as follows.

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.

[SequencerLUTMode]

This defines whether to apply gamma or LUT to the sequence.When gamma is selected, the
gamma setting defined in [AnalogControl] is applied to all exposures in the sequence. When
LUT is selected, the LUT characteristics defined in [AnalogControl] are applied to indexes for
which [SequencerLUT enable] is set to ON.

[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.

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.

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.

Note

Sequencer function can not be used with Overlap Multi ROI Function.

Sample TriggerSequencer mode operation

User-defined Indexes (up to 128)

Triggers/
Image
Frames

1

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

2

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

3

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” .

ALC (Automatic Level Control) Function

The ALC (automatic level control) function combines the automatic gain control (AGC/Auto
Gain Control) and automatic exposure control (ASC/Auto Shutter Control) functions, and is
capable of handling various changes in brightness.The function operates as follows in
response to changes in brightness.

Change from bright to dark: ASC → AGC

for AGC and ASC are configured in [ALCReference]. For example, when [ALCReference] is set
to 95%, video levels will be maintained at 95% for AGC and ASC.

Magenta, Blue, and Yellow.
*) This function is valid only when PixelFormat is RGB8, RGB10V1Packed, RGB10p32.

CounterAndTimerControl Function

This camera supports only the counter 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.
Four counters are available on the camera; Counter0, Counter1, Counter2, and Counter3.
The functions that can be counted are fixed for each counter.
Counter0: Counts the number of FrameStartTrigger instances.
Counter1: Counts the number of ExposureStart instances.
Counter2: Counts the number of SensorReadOut instances.
Counter3: Counts the number of FrameTransferEnd instances.

When a problem occurs in a system that includes this camera, comparing the values from
multiple counters allows you to verify the extent of normal operability and can be useful when
investigating the cause of the problem.

Action Control Function

The Action Control Function is a function that executes the pre-configured action when the
camera receives action commands. Action commands can send both unicast and broadcast
messages and give instructions for actions to multiple cameras simultaneously by broadcasting
them. A camera that has this function can even give instructions for actions to different types
of multiple cameras. Although this function includes jitter and delays, it is useful for controlling
multiple cameras simultaneously.

Actions are performed when the following three conditions are met.

1. ActionDeviceKey set to the camera and ActionDeviceKey in the action command ma

tch

2. ActionGroupKey set to the camera and ActionGroupKey in the action command match

3. ActionGroupMask se

t to the camera and GroupMask in the action command perform AND

operation, and the result is not 0.

SP-12401M-PGE/SP-12401C-PGE

■ About the settings of the camera

1. Specify ActionDeviceKey.

2. Then, specify two actions that can be configured on the camera.
Act

ion1
Select 1 in ActionSelector.
Specify ActionGroupMask [ActionSelector].
Specify ActionGroupKey [ActionSelector].

Action2

Select 2 in ActionSelector.
Specify ActionGroupMask [ActionSelector].
Specify ActionGroupKey [ActionSelector].

3. Set triggers (AcquisitionStart, AcquisitionEnd, FrameStart, AcquisitionTransferStart) to
Act

ion1 and Action2.

■ Setting example

Assume that the following settings have been pre-configured on the camera.
ActionDeviceKey : 0x00001001
ActionGroupMask[1] : 0x00000011
ActionGroupKey[1] : 0x00000001
ActionGroupMask[2] : 0x00000111
ActionGroupKey[2] : 0x00000002

When the camera receives action commands (ActionDeviceKey:0x00001001, ActionGroupMask:0x00000011,
ActionGroupKey: 0x00000002), Action2 is executed.

When the camera receives action commands (ActionDeviceKey:0x00001001, ActionGroupMask:0x00000011,
Acti

onGroupKey: 0x00000001), ActionDevice and ActionGroupKey[1] match. However, the result of AND operation

performed by ActionGroupMask is 0. Therefore, in this case, neither Action1 nor Action2 is executed.

Troubleshooting

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

■ Power supply and connections

■ Image display

■S

ettings and operations

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
mo

nitor 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.
