3Function Parameter
This section takes on the functions of the industrial camera.
Industrial cameras support 3 user levels, including Beginner, Expert and Guru. Each
corresponds to slightly different sets of parameters.
Grayed out parameters cannot be changed under the current running mode.
Frame Rate3.1
Frame rate, in area scan cameras, is the number of images the camera outputs every second.
3.1.1 Influential Facts for Frame Rate
Bandwidth: The bigger the bandwidth, the bigger the transmission data volume and the
higher the frame rate.
Pixel format: Different pixel formats takes up different amount of storage. Under the same
environment, the more storage is occupied, the lower the frame rate becomes.
Image resolution: Relates to the camera sensor features, affected by the image size as well.
With the smaller image size, the frame rate gets higher.
Exposure time: The longer the exposure time, the lower the frame rate and vice versa.
3.1.2 Configuring Frame Rate
AcquisitionFrameRateEnable is the parameter for enabling frame rate acquisition. True
means enable and False means disable.
Configure frame rateFigure 3-1
AcquisitionFrameRate defines capture rate of frames.
ResultingFrameRateAbs defines the largest speed of capturing frames allowed.
When the value of AcquisitionFrameRate exceeds that of ResultingFrameRateAbs, the camera
captures images at the frame rate of ResultingFrameRateAbs value. Opposite of that, the camera
captures images at the frame rate of AcquisitionFrameRate value.

Acquisition mode3.2
Acquisition mode of the camera includes Continuous, Single Frame and MultiFrame.
Configurations are as follows.
Aqusition modeFigure 3-2
Table 3-1 Description of acquisition mode parameters
Parameter Working Principle
Single Frame The camera starts capturing and stops after one capture.
Continuous The camera starts and keeps capturing.
Manual operation is required for stopping the capture.
MultiFrame
Set the number of frames to be captured in AcquisitionFrameCount (1–255).
The camera starts and keeps capturing.
Manually stop capturing before the set volume is reached.
AcquisitionFrameCount needs to be configured for MultiFrame. Enter a reasonable number as
needed.
Number of capturesFigure 3-3
Trigger Mode3.3
The trigger mode of the camera includes SoftwareTrigger (software trigger) and LineN (hardware
trigger).
For area scan cameras, N is 1 or 2, and for large area scan cameras, it is 5, 6 or 7.

7
3.3.1 Trigger Type
Select FrameStart (frame trigger) or AcquisitionStart (image capture trigger) under
TriggerSelector.
FrameStart: Single frame capture. One trigger signal captures one frame.
AcquisitionStart: Continuous capture. One signal triggers continuous captures.
Trigger TypeFigure 3-4
3.3.2 Trigger Source
Software trigger: Trigger signal comes from software.
Hardware trigger: Trigger signal comes from external devices through I/O port. For the
detailed number of signal channels for each camera I/O port, refer to the electrical
specifications of the camera.
Area scan cameras use the 6-pin cable and large area scan cameras use the 12-pin cable.

Flat Field Correction3.4
The image quality can be affected by uneven light, fixed-pattern noise of the sensor and noise of
uneven responses during using the area scan cameras. FFC (Flat Field Correction) is needed for
these situations.
It is mainly for ensuring image balance when applied to area scan cameras.
FFC contains 2 modes.
Point-to-point: The image after correction is more accurate and even.
Plane-to-plane (16 × 16): Applicable for small area scan cameras.
FFC works by combination of 3 corrections.

9
In dark field, correct fixed-pattern noise.
In Bright field, correct uneven response.
In Bright field, correct uneven lens or light.
The ratio between the maximum and the minimum brightness of the image which needs FFC
cannot exceed 2.

Trigger Delay3.5
You can set delay time from the camera receiving the trigger signal to responding to the signal to
capture.

11
Principle of trigger delayFigure 3-14
The trigger signal is rising edge in the following figure. The delay time is configured through
Trigger Delay with μs as unit and ranges from 0 μs–1000000 μs, namely, 0 s–1 s.
Configure trigger delayFigure 3-15
Output Signal3.6
GigE camera contains 1 opto-isolated output Line 0 and 1 Line 2 which can be set to input or
output.
Under Digital IO Control, set Line 2 as Line Selector.Step 1
Set Line Mode to Output.Step 2
Set output signal Line2Figure 3-16

12
The output signal triggered by the camera can be used as switch on/off signal to control
external devices such as alarm light, light source and PLC. Trigger signal can be sent out
through electrical level reversal and Output signal. Configure parameters by Digital IO
Control.
IO Feature3.7
3.7.1 Two-way I/O Circuit
Line2 is a bidirectional I/O signal which can be used as an input or output signal.
The external circuit must be able to input up to 2 mA sink current with voltage under 0.8 VDC.
No more than 100 uA sink current for high level input.
Up to 50 mA sink current when the IO port is used as output.

Table 3-2 Electrical specifications of the two-way I/O circuit
Voltage Description
+30.0 VDC Extreme voltage. Output voltage cannot exceed the value. Otherwise, the
device might be damaged.
+3.3 to +24 VDC The security working voltage range when output.
< 3.3 VDC Possible error on I/O output.

14
3.7.2 Opto-isolated Input
Opto-isolator can realize one-way transmission of signal due to that the optocoupler is transmitted
in one way. One-way transmission separates the input and output end completely, which
eliminates the influence output signals have on the input end, leading to high anti-interference
performance and strong working stability of the opto-isolator.
Line1 of the camera I/O signal is opto-isolated input and can sustain up to 25 mA current. For
detailed circuit, see Figure 3-20.
Line1 internal circuitFigure 3-20

Input Voltage Description Remarks
30 VDC
Extreme voltage. Input voltage cannot
exceed the value. Otherwise, the device
might be damaged. The 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm
GigE camera (products shipped
before January 2017) has an
optocoupler isolation input limit
voltage of 25 VDC, and I/O input
safe working voltage is 0–18

> 2.2 VDC Logic 1.
Avoid the input voltage being inside 1–1.5 V, under which the circuit is not stable.
The breakdown voltage is 30 V. keep the voltage stable.
The sink current of the opto-isolated I/O input port is 5 mA–15 mA.
3.7.3 Opto-isolated Output
Line0 of the camera I/O signal is opto-isolated output. Refer to Figure 3-21 for detailed internal
circuit.

15
Internal circuit of Line0Figure 3-21
The maximum output current of Line0 is 25 mA.
The pull-up resistance value complies with the maximum allowed current of the opto-isolated
output port under the defined voltage.The larger the resistance value, the smaller the optocoupler
forward voltage drop, the more slowly the output wave changes and the weaker the ability to
power external devices. The recommended optocoupler value is 270 Ω, 560 Ω and 1 kΩ when the
voltage is 5 V, 12 V and 24 V respectively.
The rising and falling time, delay time of rising and falling edge are shown as Figure 3-22 when the
pull-up voltage is 1 kΩ.
Delay time of rising and fallingFigure 3-22
The electrical specifications of the opto-isolated output are shown in below table Table 3-4 when
the external voltage is 3.3 V and resistance is 1 kΩ.
