Description
The
ELiiXA
Color
camera
is
the
ideal
candidate
for
the
most
demanding
applications
requiring
multi
wavelength
detection
(including
NIR).
Using
e2v’s
unique
technology,
the
CCD
sensor
features
unmatched
performance:
line
rate
up
to 18
KHz,
row
spacing
of
two
pixels
center
to
center,
enhanced
blue
response,
three
lines
(RGB)
and
four
lines
(RGB
and fourth
line
either
monochrome
or
NIR).
The
camera
package
is
designed
to
increase
efficiency
and
save
cost
at
vision
system
level:
•
Easy calibration (Automatic Tap balance and flat field correction, white balance, Color correction)
•
versatile implementation (trigger modes, output modes, bidirectional scanning, spatial correction)
and
with
an
all-in-one
approach,
a
single
ELiiXA
camera
can
replace
a
two
camera
system
of
a
conventional
color
camera and
a
monochrome
or
NIR
camera.
The Fourth monochrome line will give you more accuracy to define colors in CIE color system and the NIR
version will help you to see even what the eyes can’t see.

2.2.3 Response N-BK7 Band-cut Filter for RGB + Nir version
The sensor has been designed to give in the Near Infra Red (800-1100nm) an equal answer of each Red, Green
and Blue colors than the Nir line itself.
In order to remove simply the Near Infra Red component from each Red, Green and Blue colors, we can define
the following Color Correction Matrix:
( R’ B’ G’ Nir’) = 1 0 0 -1 R
0 1 0 -1 B
0 0 1 -1 G
0 0 0 1 Nir
Depending on your light source, some other combination of filter can be provided.

2) On RGB models, the medium 8 bits is equivalent to a base 8 bits because there is no fourth channel.

4STANDARD CONFORMITY
The ELIIXA cameras have been tested using the following equipment:
• A shielded power supply cable
• A Camera Link data transfer cable ref. 14B26-SZLB-500-OLC (3M)
e2v recommends using the same configuration to ensure the compliance with the following standards.
4.1
CE Conformity
The ELIIXA cameras comply with the requirements of the EMC (European) directive 89/336/CEE (EN
50081-2, EN 61000-6-2).
4.2
FCC Conformity
The ELIIXA cameras further comply with Part 15 of the FCC rules, which states that:
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interference, and
• This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class A digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment
in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to
correct the interference at his own expense.
4.3
RoHs Conformity
ELIIXA cameras comply with the requirements of the RoHS directive
Warning
: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

5SETTING UP THE CAMERA IN THE SYSTEM
Vocabulary:
w
= size of the sensor line (40,96mm)
FOV
= Field Of View (width of the web inspected by the sensor line) in mm.
L
= Working distance (from the Lens to the Web) in mm.
f
= focal distance of the lens in mm.
S
= Speed of the web in mm/s
We have:
w/FOV = f/L
The ratio M = w/FOV is called Magnification.
The FOV is grabbed by 4096 pixels in the width.
In order to get a ratio of 1 :1 in your image, at the web speed of S, your line rate has to be set:
Line Rate = (S/FOV) x 4096
Ex: if the FOV = 11 cm (110mm) and the speed of the web is S= 0,3 m/s (300mm/s) the line rate will be:
Line Rate = (300 /110) x 4096 = 11170 Lines/s.
The spatial correction has to be set to 2 because the spacing between two color lines in the sensor is
20µm center to center (2 lines of 10µm width).
If you use a 60mm lens, the working distance will be: L = (60 x 110) 40,96 = 161mm.
This will certainly require a macro lens.

6CAMERA SOFTWARE INTERFACE
6.1
Control and Interface
As all the e2v Cameras, the ELIIXA 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.

ELiiXA®
UC8/UC4
17
Eliixa_Color–revF 04/11
e2v semiconductors SAS 2011
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 230,400
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>
We recommend to wait for the camera return code before sending a new command.
Table 5-1. Camera Returned Code
Returned code meaning
>0 (or “>OK”) : All right, the command will be implemented
>3 Error bad CRC in command
>16 Command Error (Command not recognize or doesn't exist)
>21 Invalid Command ID (the Command doesn't exist).
>33 Invalid Access (the receipt of the last command has failed).
>34 Parameter out of range (the parameter of the last command send is out of range).
>35 Access Failure (bad communication between two internal devices).
