2.2 Image Sensor

The Uniiqa+ sensor is composed of one pair of sensitive lines of 4096 pixels of 5µm square.

Each pixel on the same column uses the same Analog to Digital Column converter (ADC Column).

This structure allows several definitions :

 4k pixels 5x5µm
 2k Pixels 10x10µm by binning of 4 pixels
 Then, 1k or 0,5k 10x10µm are achieved by applying an ROI on the centre of the sensor.

6 Camera Software Interface

6.1 Control and Interface

As all the Teledyne-e2v Cameras, the UNIIQA+ CL is delivered with the friendly interface control software
COMMCAM.UCL (as “Ultimate Camera Link”) which is based on the GenICam standard

COMMCAM recognizes and detects automatically all the UCL Cameras connected on any transport layers
(Camera Link or COM ports) of your system.

Once connected to the Camera you have an easy access to all its features. The visibility of these features can
be associated to three types of users: Beginner, Expert or Guru. Then you can make life easy for simple
users.

Minimum version of CommCam is

2.4.2

in order to recognize the UNIIQA+ Camera (all versions)

USER MANUAL UNIIQA+ MONOCHROME – REV J – 05/2017

P A G E | 18

6.2 Serial Protocol and Command Format

The Camera Link interface provides two LVDS signal pairs for communication between the camera and

the frame grabber. This is an asynchronous serial communication based on RS-232 protocol.

The serial line configuration is:

> Full duplex/without handshaking

> 9600 bauds (default), 8-bit data, no parity bit, 1 stop bit. The baud rate can be set up to 115200

6.2.1 Syntax

Internal camera configurations are activated by write or readout commands.

The command syntax for write operation is:

w

<command_name> <command_parameters>

<CR>

The command syntax for readout operation is:

r

<command_name>

<CR>

6.2.2 Command Processing

Each command received by the camera is processed:

> The setting is implemented (if valid)

> The camera returns “>”<return code><CR>

The camera return code has to be received before sending a new command.

The camera return code has to be received before sending a new command. Some
commands are longer than the others : Waiting for the return code ensure a good
treatment of all the commands

Without saturating the buffer of the camera.

6.2.3 GenCP Compliance

The camera is compliant with the GenCP standard. It is also still compliant with ASCII command format :
Both types of commands are detailed in the next chapter.

GenCP requires a certain time for the command execution :

 Maximum Device Response Time : This register gives the max time for the execution of any command.

Usually it’s set at a value lower than 300ms

 If the execution time of the command is greater than 300ms, the camera sends a “pending

acknowledge” command which gives the duration of this command : It can’t be greater than 65536ms

 Exposure time (ExposureTime): Defines the exposure time when set in the Camera. This command

is available in the CommCam “Acquisition Control” section :

 Read function (ASCII): “r tint”;

Returned by the camera : Integer from 15 to 65535 (=1,5µs to 6553,5µs by step of 0,1µs)

 Write function (ASCII): “w tint” <value> ;

This value of exposure time is taken in account only when the synchronisation mode is “free
run” (0) or “Ext Trig with Exposure time set” (1). Otherwise it’s ignored.

Due to the limitation of the timing pixel inside the sensor, the Exposure time has to be set by
taking in account the limitation detailed in the APPENDIX Bof this document.
The Minimum exposure time which can be set is 1.5µs

 Line Period (LinePeriod) : Defines the Line Period of the Camera in Timed mode. This command is

available in the CommCam “Acquisition Control” section :

 Read function (ASCII): “r tper”;

Returned by the camera : Integer from 1 to 65536 (=0.1µs to 6553.6µs by step o 100ns)

 Write function (ASCII): “w tper” <value> ;

The line period is active only in modes Sync 0 and Sync 5. It’s also disabled if in Free Run (Sync

0), the Integration time is set higher than the Line Period.

The Tables of the minimum Line Period (Max Line Rate) versus the Data rate and the output
mode chosen are given in Appendix C of this document.

converter.

This “Preamp Gain” is in fact a variation of the ramp of the comparator of the ADC.

Then 3 Values are available : x1, x2 and x4. A gain x1 in a 12 bits conversion is equivalent
to x4 in 10 bits.

 Preamp Gain : (GainAbs with GainSelector= AnalogAll)

Set the Pre-amplification Gain. This command is available in the CommCam “Gain & Offset” section.

 Read function (ASCII): “r pamp”;

Returned by the camera : Integer corresponding to one of the 3 different step values :

 0 : x1 (0dB)
 1 : x2 (6dB)
 2 : x4 (12dB)

 Write function (ASCII): “w pamp” <int> ;

 Gain: (GainAbs with GainSelector= GainAll)

Set the Amplification Gain. This command is available in the CommCam “Gain & Offset” section :

 Read function (ASCII): “r gain”;

Returned by the camera : Value from 0 to 6193 corresponding to a Gain range of 0dB to +8dB
calculated as following : Gain(dB) = 20.log(1+ Gain/4096).

 Digital Gain (GainAbs with GainSelector=DigitalAll) : Set the global Digital Gain. This command

is available in the CommCam “Gain & Offset” section :

 Read function (ASCII): “r gdig”;

Returned by the camera : Integer value from 0 to 255. The corresponding Gain is
calculated as 20log(1+val/64) in dB

 Write function (ASCII): “w gdig” <int> ;

 Digital Offset (BlackLevelRaw with BlackLevelSelector=All) : Set the global Digital Offset. This

command is available in the CommCam “Gain & Offset” section :

 Read function (ASCII): “r offs”;

Returned by the camera : Value from –4096 to +4095 in LSB

 Write function (ASCII): “w offs” <int> ;

 Multi-Column Gain (MultiGain) : Enables the Multi-Column Gain of x0,5 . Available only in

the 10x10µm pixels sizes (2048, 1024 and 512 pixels). This value is available in the CommCam

“Image Format Control” section :

 Read function (ASCII): “r mclg”;

Return by the sensor : “0” if disabled (Gain x1 by default); “1” if Gain x0.5 activated.

 Write Function (ASCII): “w mclg <value>”

 “0” : Default Gain x1 is active.
 “1” : Gain x0.5 is enabled

Why Using a Multi-Column Gain of x0,5 ?

When the Pixel is 10x10µs, it is issued from a binning of 4 Pixels 5x5µm.

The binning is made in two steps : a “TDI-Like” Summation on the column before the ADC
conversion and then a Summation of the 2 columns in the sensor.

This last summation can be done after a division by 2 of each column value :

In this case, the Full Well capacity is multiplied by x2 (two output registers are used) but
the noise divided by √2 therefore the SNR is improved by a factor of √2.

7.8.1 Activation, Auto-Adjust

 FFC Activation (

FFCEnable

) : Enable/disable the Flat Field Correction. This command is available in

the CommCam “Flat Field Correction” section :

 Read function (ASCII): “r ffcp” : Returns the FFC Status (0 if disabled, 1 if enabled)
 Write function (ASCII):

 “w ffcp 1” (ASCII): Enable the FFC.
 “w ffcp 0” (ASCII) : Disabled the FFC

 FFC Adjust Function : This Feature is available in the CommCam “Flat Field Correction/

Automatic Calibration” section :

o Gains adjust (FFCAdjust): Enable/Disable the function

 Read function (ASCII): “r ffad”. Returns the status of the function (0 if disabled)
 Write function(ASCII) :

 “w ffad 0” (ASCII): Disable the FFC Adjust function.
 “w ffad 1” (ASCII) : Enable the FFC Adjust function.

o Auto Adjust Target Level (FFCAutoTargetLevel): set the value for the User Target.

 Read function (ASCII): “r tfad”. Returns the Target value (from 0 to 4095)
 Write function (ASCII): “w tfad <value>” : Set the Target Value (in 12bits)

FFC Adjust : A good usage.

When there are several Cameras to set up in a system on a single line, the most difficult is
to have a uniform lightning whole along the line.
If each Camera performs its own Flat field correction, relative to the max of each pixel line,
the result will be a succession of Camera lines at different levels.

The FFC Adjust function allows to set the same target value for all the Cameras in the
system and then to get a perfect uniform line whole along the system with a precision of 1
LSB to the Target.

The Maximum correction is x2 the highest value of the line.
The reasonable value for the User Target is not more than around 20% of the max value of
the line.

7.8.2 Automatic Calibration and LowPass Filter

 Low Filter FFC With (LowFilterFFCWidth) : Set and Enable/disable the Flat Field Correction Low

Band Filter. This command is available in the CommCam “Flat Field Correction” section :

 Read function (ASCII): “r lffw” : Returns the FFC Status : 0 to 127 (0 if disabled, X>0 enabled

and set at X)

 Write function (ASCII):

 “w lffw <val>” (ASCII): set the FFC Low band Filter at <val>. Val is from 0 to 127. If <val>

is 0, then the Low Band filter is disabled

When you can’t provide a moving Target to the Camera during the PRNU Calibration you can

setup the FFC Low Band Filter in order to remove the defect from the Target before calculating
the FFC parameters. The Value set in the FFC filter defined the size of the interval around each
pixel : The Filter will replace each pixel value by the average on the interval.

The FFC Low band filter is just an help to make in use the FFC (PRNU part) more easily : This
can be done with a non-moving white paper as its defaults will be filtered in order to not
being taken in account in the PRNU Correction.

Don’t forget to reset the filter (to “0”) after usage.

 FPN/DSNU Calibration :

o FPN Calibration Control (FPNCalibrationCtrl) : Launch or abort of the FPN process for

the Offsets calculation. These commands are available in the CommCam “Flat Field

Correction / Automatic Calibration ” section :

 Read function (ASCII): “r calo” : Returns the FPN Calculation Process Status (0 if

finished, 1 if processing)

 Write function (ASCII):

 “w calo 1” : Launch the FPN Calibration Process.
 “w calo 0” : Abort the FPN Calibration Process.

o FPN Coefficient Reset (FPNReset) : Reset the FPN (Offsets) coefficient in Memory. This

command is available in the CommCam “Flat Field Correction / Manual Calibration ”

section :

 Write function(ASCII) : “w rsto 0” : Reset (set to 0) the FPN coefficients in memory.

This doesn’t affect the FFC User Memory Bank but only the active coefficients in

Memory.

USER MANUAL UNIIQA+ MONOCHROME – REV J – 05/2017

 PRNU Calibration :

o PRNU Calibration Control (FFCCalibrationCtrl) : Launch or abort of the PRNU process for

the Gains calculation. This command is available in the CommCam “Flat Field Correction /

Automatic Calibration ” section :

 Read function : “r calg” (ASCII): Returns the PRNU Calculation Process Status (0 if

finished, 1 if processing)

 Write function (ASCII):

 “w calg 1” : Launch the PRNU Calibration Process.
 “w calg 0” : Abort the PRNU Calibration Process.

o PRNU coefficient Reset (PRNUReset) : Reset the PRNU (Gains) coefficient in Memory. This

command is available in the CommCam “Flat Field Correction / Manual Calibration ” section

:

 Write function : “w rstg 0” (ASCII): Reset (set to “x1”) the PRNU coefficients in

memory. This doesn’t affect the FFC User Memory Bank but only the active
coefficients in Memory.

Some Warnings can be issued from the PRNU/FPN Calibration Process as “pixel Overflow” of
“Pixel Underflow” because some pixels have been detected as too high or too low in the

source image to be corrected efficiently.

The Calculation result will be proposed anyway as it’s just a warning message.

How is performed the Flat Field Correction ?

What is the Flat Field correction (FFC) ?

The Flat Field Correction is a digital correction on each pixel which allows :

Uniformity)

Before After

How is calculated / Applied the FFC ?

The FFC is a digital correction on the pixel level for both Gain and Offset.

Each Pixel is corrected with :

resolution of 1/2 LSB 12bits. Offet : the MSB is the sign, the rest of 9bits is from 0 .. 256 with
precision of 1/2

The calculation of the new pixel value is : P’ = ( P + Off).(1 + Gain/1024). Gain : 0 to 4095

The FFC processing can be completed with an automatic adjustment to a global target. This

function is designed as “FFC Adjust”. This adjustment to a User target is done by an internal

hidden gain which is re-calculated each time the FFC is processed while the FFC adjust
function is enabled.

The FFC is always processed with the max pixel value of the line as reference. If enabled, the
FFC adjust module (located at the output of the FFC module) calculates the adjustment gain
to reach the target defined by the User.

When the FFC result is saved in memory, the adjust gain and target are saved in the same
time in order to associate this gain value with the FFC result.

PRNU Calibration

The User must propose a white/grey uniform target to the Camera (not a fixed paper).

Banks.

Advices

The UNIIQA+ Cameras have 4 x FFC Banks to save 4 x different FFC calibrations. You can use
this feature if your system needs some different conditions of lightning and/or Gain because
of the inspection of different objects : You can perform one FFC to be associated with one
condition of Gain/setting of the Camera ( 4 Max) and recall one of the four global settings
(Camera Configuration + FFC + Line Quarters Balance) when required.

7.8.3 Manual Flat Field Correction

The FFC Coefficients can also be processed outside of the Camera or changed manually by accessing
directly their values in the Camera : This is the “Manual” FFC.

In CommCam, the User can access to a specific interface by clicking on “click for extended control” in both
“Manual FFC calibration” and “Manual FPN calibration sections” :

This will allow the user to upload/download out/in the Camera the FFC coefficients in/from a binary or text
file that can be processed externally.

It is recommended to setup the baud rate at the maximum value possible (230400 for
example) otherwise the transfer can take a long time.

 Set FFC Address memory access : Set the memory address for the direct access to both

PRNU/ FPN coefficients for reading or writing. After each read or write action, this address
in incremented of 128

 Write function (ASCII):” w ffcga <addr> : Set the address in memory for the next

read/write command of the PRNU/FPN Coefficients.

 Start address for Offsets (FPN) : 0x12400
 Start address for Gains (PRNU) : 0x13400

. <addr> auto increments automatically after each write command.

 FPN coefficients modification : Direct access to the FPN coefficients for reading or writing.

The FPN coefficients are read packets of x128 coefficients :

 Read function (ASCII): “r ffco” : Read 128 consecutive FPN user coefficients starting

from address set by the command fcca. Returned value is in hexadecimal, without
space between values (2 Bytes per coefficient).
<addr> auto increments automatically after each read command.

Write function (ASCII):” w ffco <val> : Write 128 consecutive FPN user coefficients
starting address set by the command fcca. <val> is the concatenation of individual

: Timing Pixel. During this uncompressible period, the pixel and its black reference are read out to

the Digital converter. During the first half of this timing pixel (read out of the black reference), we can
consider that the exposure is still active.

Digital Conversion : During the conversion, the analog Gain is applied by the gradient of the counting

ramp (see next chapter : Gain & Offset). The conversion time depends on the pixel format :

> 8 or 10 bits : 6µs
> 12 bits : 24µs

This conversion is done in masked time, eventually during the next exposure period.
