Before using this camera

EMVA 1288

With regard to signal to noise ratio in this manual, specifications measured by EMVA 1288 are used together with specifications by a traditional measurement method. EMVA 1288 is a more complete measurement that considers multiple noise sources, including random noise, pattern noise, and shading. Additionally, EMVA 1288 incorporates temporal variances in pixel output by capturing 100 frames of data and computing the RMS variations over the captured frames. Because of the comprehensive nature of the noise analysis and the additional consideration for RMS variances over time, EMVA 1288 SNR measurements are inherently lower than the traditional SNR measurements given by manufacturers. However, the comprehensive nature combined with rigid test parameters, means that all manufacturers are measuring their products equally and EMVA 1288 tested parameters can be compared among different manufacturers’ products. In order to learn more about EMVA 1288, please visit http://www.emva.org

Interface

The SP-5000-USB employs a USB 3.0 interface and is in the process of being certified for compliance with the USB3 Vision standard. USB3 Vision is a new standard interface for machine vision applications being developed and managed by the AIA (Automated Imaging Association). USB3 Vision uses USB 3.0 ports that will soon be standard on most PCs (with Windows 7 service pack and Windows 8 native support expected soon). Components from different manufacturers will easily communicate with each other.

USB3 Vision also supports the GenICamTM standard which is managed by the EMVA (European Machine Vision Association). The purpose of the GenICam standard is to provide a common program interface for various machine vision cameras. By using GenICam, cameras from different manufacturers can seamlessly connect in one platform.

The maximum transfer speed of USB 3.0 is specified at 5.0 Gbps, however effective bandwidth is reduced by a number of factors including pixel format conversions and the physical interface components used. The USB3 Vision standard specifies a bandwidth of 2.8 Gbps or greater. Maximum cable length for passive cables is five meters, but this can be made longer using active cables.

As for the USB connector, SP-5000-USB uses a Micro B connector which complies with USB 3.0. This connector has an additional 5-pin plug “stacked” on the side of a standard USB 2.0 Micro B connector. However, USB 2.0 cannot be used with the SP-5000-USB.

Power supply

Although the USB 3.0 interface is capable of supporting both data and power, the power supplied through the interface is not sufficient to operate the camera. A separate power supply unit must be connected to the 12-pin connector. .

Computer used for SP-5000-USB series

It is necessary to use a PC equipped with a USB 3.0 interface. It is also recommended to use a PC equipped with slots of better than PC Express 2.0 x 8. Please note that the SP-5000-USB may not work properly depending on the chipset used in the PC.

1. General

The SP-5000M-USB and SP-5000C-USB are new Spark Series high performance cameras with high resolution and a fast frame rate suitable for high speed machine vision applications. The SP5000M-USB is a monochrome progressive scan CMOS camera and the SP-5000C-USB is the equivalent Bayer mosaic progressive scan CMOS camera. Both are equipped with a CMOS sensor offering a 1-inch optical format, a resolution of 5.24 million pixels, and a 5:4 aspect ratio. They provide up to 61.98 frames per second for continuous scanning with 2560 x 2048 full pixel resolution for both monochrome and raw Bayer output. 8-bit, 10-bit or 12-bit output can be selected for both monochrome and raw Bayer formats. The new cameras feature a USB3 Vision interface. A full pixel readout or partial scan readout mode can be selected depending on applications.

The SP-5000M-USB and SP-5000C-USB have various comprehensive functions needed for automated optical inspection applications, such as solid state device inspection or material surface inspection. They incorporate video processing functions such as a look-up table, shading compensation and blemish compensation in addition to fundamental functions such as trigger, exposure setting and video level control.

As a common Spark Series feature, a new connector for lens control is employed. SP-5000M-USB and SP-5000C-USB support P-iris and motor-driven lenses as standard lens control capabilities. Factory options are available to configure this connector to support DC iris systems, as well as provide a video iris output signal, or to provide additional TTL IN and OUT lines.

5. Input and output

5.1 USB 3.0 Interface specifications

The SP-5000-USB employs a USB 3.0 interface for video and data transfer. USB 3.0 is an upgraded version of USB 2.0 widely used in the industry. Its transfer rate is 5 Gbps, which is 10 times faster than the 480 Mbps rate of USB 2.0. USB 3.0 employs a full-duplex system which executes both transmitting and receiving at the same time. USB 3.0 has downward compatibility to USB 2.0 but in the SP-5000-USB, USB 2.0 cannot be used because the performance is not guaranteed. The connector used for USB 3.0 in the SP-5000-USB is a Micro B Type connector with a USB 3.0 form factor.

5.4 Optical Interface

SP-5000-USB is equipped with 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 following drawing is the concept of photo coupler

5.5 Pulse Generator

The SP-5000-USB has a frequency divider using the pixel clock as the basic clock and two pulse generators. In each Pulse Generator, various Clear settings are connected to GPIO. The following shows Pulse Generator default settings.

Note: When Pulse Generator Repeat Count is set to “0”, the camera is operating in Free Running mode.

However, based on the above default setting, Length=1, Start Point=0 and End Point=1, Pulse Generator stops at High output. Therefore, if Start Point=0 and End Point=1 are configured, Length should be “2” as the minimum active width.

5.5.1 Clock Pre-scaler

Clock pre-scaler (Divide Value) can set the dividing value of the frequency divider (12-bit

length) and the pixel clock is used for this. Two built-in pulse generators work by the same clock. In the SP-5000-USB, the pixel clock is 48 MHz.

5.5.2 Pulse Generator Selector

This is where you select one of the pulse generators in order to set or modify its parameters.

Table13. Pulse Generator setting

Fig.11 Pulse Generator Pulse construction

5.5.3 Pulse Generator Length

Set the counter up value (number of clocks, refer to Table 14) for the selected pulse generator.

If Repeat Count value is “0”, and if Pulse Generator Clear signal is not input, the pulse generator generates the pulse repeatedly until reaching this counter up value.

5.5.4 Pulse Generator Start Point

Set the active output start count value for the selected pulse generator. However, please note that a maximum 1 clock jitter can occur for the clock which is divided in the

clock pre-scaler.

5.5.5 Pulse Generator End Point

Set the active output ending count value for the selected pulse generator.

5.5.6 Pulse Generator Repeat Count

Set the repeating number of the pulse for the selected pulse generator. After Trigger Clear signal is input, the pulse generator starts the count set in Repeat Count. Accordingly, an active pulse which has a start point and end point can be output repeatedly. However, if Repeat Count is set to “0”, it works as a Free-Running counter.

5.5.7 Pulse Generator Clear Activation

Set the clear conditions of the clear count pulse for the selected pulse generator.

5.5.8 Pulse Generator Clear Sync Mode

Set the clear count method for the selected pulse generator. In the case of Async Mode, if the

clear signal is input during the length setting value, the counter will stop counting according to the clear signal input. In the case of Sync Mode, if the clear signal is input during the length setting value, the counter will continue to count until the end of the length setting value and then clear the count. Both modes clear the repeat count when the counter is cleared.
