Calibir GXM640 Overview
Description
The Calibir GXM Series cameras are small form factor long wave infrared cameras. The
GXM Series cameras are based on Teledyne DALSA detector technology.
The Calibir GXM640 camera features an internal mechanical shutter; this allows the
camera to recalibrate itself upon demand during operation. This ensures uniform image
output regardless of the camera’s thermal environment. Note that factory calibration of
the Calibir cameras allows them to operate for a long period of time before shutter may
need to be activated.
This manual describes features available for the Calibir GXM640 firmware release 2.41.

1. Extended or limited operating temperature ranges are available; contact Teledyne DALSA for more
information.
2. To avoid possible damage, when storing cameras, ensure that the sensor is not exposed to air; use a
lens cap or lens to cover the sensor.
3. Camera NETD measures the actual noise in output images, using an f/1.0 lens, with processing.
WARNING: These sensors are sensitive to over-exposure to hot objects; the sensors
are considered “sun-safe” in the sense that pixels will not break if over exposed for
short periods; however, long exposure to hot bodies (like the sun) will eventually
create ghost-like artifacts. These artifacts can be made to disappear by recalibrating
the FPN compensation (see Fixed Pattern Noise Correction).
WARNING: For cameras not equipped with a lens, do not touch the internal
mechanical shutter; any physical contact to the shutter may render it unusable.

GigE Network Adapter Overview
Calibir connects to a computer’s Gigabit Network Adapter (or NIC, for Network Interface
Card). If the computer is already connected to a network, the computer requires a second
network adapter, either onboard or an additional PCIe NIC adapter.
In general automatic IP configuration assignment (LLA/DHCP) is sufficient for most
Calibir GigE installations. Please refer to the Teledyne DALSA Network Imaging
Package manual for information on the Teledyne DALSA Network Configuration tool
and network optimization for GigE Vision cameras and devices.
PAUSE Frame Support
The Calibir supports the Gigabit Ethernet PAUSE Frame feature as per IEEE 802.3x.
PAUSE Frame is the Ethernet flow control mechanism to manage network traffic within
an Ethernet switch when multiple cameras are simultaneously used. This requires that
the flow control option in the NIC property settings and the Ethernet switch settings must
be enabled. Refer to the Teledyne DALSA Network Imaging manual.
Computer Requirements for Calibir GXM640
The following information is a guide to computer and networking equipment required to
support the Calibir GXM640 camera at maximum performance. The Calibir camera series
complies with the current IPv4 Internet Protocol, therefore current Gigabit Ethernet
(GigE) equipment should provide trouble free performance.
Host PC System
Operating Systems:
Windows 7, 8.0, 8.1, 10 (either 32-bit or 64-bit for all) are supported.
Linux supported by Teledyne DALSA GigE-V Framework; for supported kernels and
platforms refer to the GigE-V Framework documentation.
Network Adapters For GigE Camera Version
GigE network adapter (either add on card or on motherboard). The Intel PRO/1000
MT adapter is an example of a high performance NIC. Typically a system will need
an Ethernet GigE adapter to supplement the single NIC on the motherboard.
PCI Express adapters will outperform PCI adapters.
Laptop Information for GigE Camera Version
Older laptop computers with built in GigE network adapters may still not be able
to stream full frame rates from Calibir. Thorough testing is required with any
laptop computer to determine the maximum frame rate possible (refer to the
Teledyne DALSA Network Imaging Package user's manual).

Software Requirements
Camera features can be controlled using a GigE Vision compliant software API, such as
Teledyne DALSA’s Sapera LT SDK. The Sapera LT software suite includes the CamExpert
tool that allows for quick configuration and evaluation of all Teledyne DALSA products.
As such, it is recommended that users install the latest version of Sapera LT on the host
computer for evaluation and development.
Note that while other software tools and SDK’s support acquiring images
from GigE cameras, Teledyne DALSA cannot provide support for their
specific configurations.
The current release version of Sapera LT is available for download here:
http://www.teledynedalsa.com/imaging/products/software/sapera/lt/download/.
To install the Sapera Network Imaging Package, it is recommended that the installation
be started locally instead of from a network location.
During the installation process, you are prompted to choose the Sapera LT acquisition
components to install. Select either the All acquisition components or the GigE Vision
cameras and the Sapera Network Imaging Package option. This will install the GigE
Vision Network Imaging Package on your system.
When upgrading from a previous version this dialog is not displayed and the same
directory structure and component configuration are used.

Calibir GXM640 Overview 17
While CamExpert can be used for evaluating a camera, an application typically uses the
Sapera LT API to configure the camera’s parameters and acquire images. Sample
applications are provided along with source code, to speed up application development.
By default they are installed under the directory:
C:\Program Files\Teledyne DALSA\Sapera\Demos\
Of particular interest is the GigE Camera Demo (available in pre-compiled form, with
C++ and C# source projects). This project provides everything needed to acquire images
from the camera. It can be easily modified to write required values to parameters (called
‘features’ in GenICam). For example, in C++ it can be implemented as:
m_AcqDevice->SetFeatureValue("PixelFormat", "Mono16");
Ethernet Switch Requirements for Calibir GXM640
When there is more than one device on the same network or a camera-to-PC separation
greater than 100 meters, an Ethernet switch is required. Since the Calibir GXM640
cameras comply with the Internet Protocol, they should work with all standard Ethernet
switches. However, switches offer a range of functions and performance grades, so care
must be taken to choose the right switch for a particular application.
IEEE 802.3x Pause Frame Flow Control
Ethernet Switches supporting Full-duplex IEEE 802.3x Pause Frame Flow Control must
be used in situations where multiple cameras may be triggered simultaneously. In such
a case the NIC maximum bandwidth would be exceeded if there was no mechanism to
temporarily hold back data from cameras. Calibir cameras support the IEEE 802.3x pause
frame flow control protocol automatically so that images from many cameras can be
transmitted through the switch to the NIC efficiently, without data loss. As a working
example, one such switch tested at Teledyne DALSA is the NETGEAR GS716T.
Even if a given Ethernet switch supports Flow Control, often this feature is
disabled in the switch configuration to provide best compatibility with older
equipments. Please refer to the switch’s documentation.
IEEE 1588 / PTP Transparent Mode
GigE switches which support PTP Transparent mode will help reduce the variability of
timestamp adjustments when cameras are synchronized with PTP/IEEE1588, but aren’t
required.
Important: The maximum frame rate possible from a large number of Calibir
cameras which are simultaneously triggered will depend on the Calibir model,
frame size, and network details. Each imaging system should be tested for data
rate limits.

Calibir GXM640 IR Camera User's Manual
Ethernet to Fiber-Optic Interface Requirements
In cases of camera-to-PC separations of more than 100 meters but an Ethernet switch
is not desired, a fiber-optic media converter can be used. The FlexPoint GX from
Omnitron Systems (www.omnitron-systems.com) converts GigE to fiber transmission
and vice versa. It supports multimode (MM) fiber over distances of up to 220 m (720 ft.)
and single-mode (SM) fiber up to 65 km (40 mi.) with SC, MT-RJ, or LC connector types.
Important: The inclusion in this manual of GigE to fiber-optic converters does not
guarantee they will meet specific application requirements or performance. The user
must evaluate any supplemental Ethernet equipment.

Introduction to Microbolometers 19
Introduction to Microbolometers
A microbolometer is an uncooled thermal sensor used as a detector in an infrared
camera. Calibir GXM640 cameras are sensitive to thermal energy at long wave infrared
(LWIR) wavelengths ranging from 8 μm to 14 μm (infrared wavelengths span from 710
nm –1 millimeter). The Calibir GXM640 uses IR filtering lens that only allow these specific
wavelengths to pass to the detector.
All objects emit electromagnetic radiation and the amount of radiation emitted at each
wavelength depends on the temperature of the object. Hot objects emit at short
wavelengths and cold objects emit more at long wavelengths.
Infrared radiation strikes the detector material, heating it, and thus changing its
electrical resistance. This resistance change is measured and an analog-to-digital
converts the signal into a 16-bit value which is used to create an image. Unlike a
traditional image sensor, there is no exposure time to fill a pixel well with photons; the
microbolometer sensor is constantly exposed to incoming radiation and the readout
circuit samples the pixel values to create the frame. When in free-running mode, the
Calibir GXM640 reads frames at 30fps (this rate can be lowered by skipping frames or
using one of the frame trigger modes).

20 Introduction to Microbolometers
Calibir GXM640 IR Camera User's Manual
The IR absorbing material is thermally isolated by suspending it within a vacuum,
however it is still sensitive to changes in the camera body temperature.
When the camera operating temperature changes, the Calibir GXM640 shutterless
operation automatically compensates for the corresponding responsivity changes in the
microbolometer pixel array (non-uniformity correction (NUC)). The NUC is factory
calibrated across the working temperature range of the camera in free-running mode at
30fps.
However, if the thermo-mechanical environment of the camera changes from the factory
calibration environment (for example, one side is exposed to heat or surface mounting
conditions) the sensor fixed pattern noise (FPN) correction can be enabled to correct for
these differences. If the camera temperature changes, or improved image quality is
required, FPN correction can be recalculated to ensure optimal response.
Emissivity
Emissivity is a measure of a material’s ability to emit infrared energy. It is measured on
a scale from 0.00 to 1.00. Typically, the closer a material’s emissivity rating is to 1.00
(that is. 100%), the more that material tends to absorb reflected or ambient infrared
energy and emit only its own infrared radiation. Most organic materials (for example,
plants and animals), have an emissivity rating of 0.95.
Substances with very low emissivity ratings, like highly polished metals, tend to be very
reflective of ambient infrared energy and less effective at emitting their own
electromagnetic waves. For example, an object with an emissivity of 0.5, half the image
pixel value is the result of the ambient temperature of the surrounding environment
being reflected. Therefore an understanding of target environments containing objects
with emissivities of less than 0.7 is required to accurately analyze image scenes.
