Product Summary
The HawkEye™ 1600T, one of our HawkEye™ family of networked smart
cameras, combines a rugged IP67 smart camera form-factor with the broad
applicability, flexibility, and proven vision toolkit of Visionscape®, and our line
of high performance vision boards. Designed for use in a broad range of vision
applications, the HawkEye™ 1600T provides a cost effective, easily deployed
solution for manufacturers to monitor quality, control processes, or identify and
trace parts on their production lines.
HawkEye™ 1600T Smart Cameras are configured as flexible, general-purpose
smart cameras with C-mount optics and separate lighting. Like all other
HawkEye™ Smart Cameras, the 1600T comes standard with built-in digital I/O,
serial communications, and Ethernet networking. All vision processing is done
on-board using a high performance, embedded CPU. A real-time, multitasking
operating system ensures deterministic performance and facilitates integration in
high-speed manufacturing lines.
The HawkEye™ 1600T offers an extensive array of built-in vision processing
tools, including Data Matrix and bar code reading, optical character recognition
(OCR), image processing, image analysis and feature extraction, flaw detection,
object location, calibrated dimensional measurements, and various custom
processing options. Developed and perfected on prior generations of our machine
vision systems, these tools have already been successfully applied in thousands
of production installations worldwide.
Setup of a new vision application to run on the camera is done on a host PC on
the same network using the same powerful graphical application environment as
the rest of the Visionscape® line. Our patented Visionscape® step program
architecture allows running the same vision application program on any
HawkEye™ 1600T vision Smart Camera or any Visionscape® vision board,
leveraging the end-user’s investment in application development and training.
Scaleability and compatibility with the rest of the Visionscape® family set the
HawkEye™ 1600T apart from other smart cameras in the market today. The
same point-and-click environment can be used to configure applications
deployed on smart cameras and framegrabbers.
The Smart Camera family supports 16 MB of Non-Volatile memory for Kernel
and Job saving (3 MB maximum avp size) and 64 MB of RAM for operation.
(Smart Cameras that ship from early 2009 will have additional memory that will
allow a maximum job size of 10MB).

Effective Frame Per Second & Pipeline Operation
Formulas
Use the following formula to calculate effective FrameRatePerSecond in a
Visionscape® Job:
Where:
VS Overhead is typically:
Interrupt Latency + Framework Overhead = 0.5 msec max
Or
In Table 1–2, EFPS is given in PowerStrobe with 1msec Integration time and Job
in full pipeline, meaning that the Job tools + idle processing time, i.e., less than
(IT + VFT + 0.5) above.
Full Pipeline = (AVT Avp Processing Time + IDT Inspection Idle Time +
LossLess Connection Overhead) < (IT + VFT + VSO) idle time is defaulted to
3% of the Inspection Time as defined in the VisionSystemStep property page.
Table 1–2 lists HawkEye™ 1600T Smart Camera models, modes, and frames per
second.

Triggering Rules for Single Channel Devices
The HawkEye™ 1600T has a single acquisition channel. When a Job is
constructed, only one Acquire can run at a time. Table 1–3 summarizes the
recommended cases. Note that Visionscape® enforces this condition by honoring
the first Acquire requested and generating an overrun on any other Acquire that
are requested to run from the external controlling device (usually, an external
trigger or a PLC).

Additional Flash & System Memory
In early 2009, the HawkEye 1600T Smart Camera will begin shipping with twice
the Flash (32MB) and twice the RAM (128MB) of the HawkEye 1600T. The
firmware supports fully both models:
• The HawkEye 1600T Smart Camera (16M Flash / 64M RAM)
• The Enhanced HawkEye 1600T Smart Camera (32M Flash / 128M RAM)
The HawkEye 1600T Smart Camera with extended memory can save an avp
of up to 10MB in size, allowing much larger applications to be developed for
the device. The HawkEye 1600T with extended memory will begin shipping
in early 2009.

Identifying Which HawkEye Smart Camera You Have
The label on the bottom of the HawkEye 1610 Smart Camera has a part number
that indicates which Smart Camera you have, and what memory is in the Smart
Camera:
• The Smart Camera button tooltip lists the size of the Flash and RAM of the
device.
• In the Network Viewer:
– HawkEye 1600T 16/64 — Colorized background color
– HawkEye 1600T 32/128 — No background color
Jobs & Storage in Non-Volatile Memory
The maximum Non-Volatile Memory area for Jobs is 16MB for the HawkEye
1600T (32/128), and 6MB for the HawkEye 1600T (16/64). This includes the Job
plus any support files if used in the avp:
• IntelliFind models
• OCV/OCR Fonts
•Perlscripts
• Acquire Tool tiff or bmp image list (when programmed to capture from disk)

To determine the size of an avp from FrontRunner, select File > Show Job
Info... and navigate to the avp file on the disk. FrontRunner displays a dialog that
shows the File Size of the avp and other statistics about the Job.
FIGURE 1–2. File Size of Job
Determine support file sizes by adding up the file sizes of the models, fonts, perl
scripts, and tiff images used in the avp (these are usually stored under
\Vscape\Jobs Contours, Fonts subdirectories). Overall, the maximum size used
(avp + support files) cannot exceed the 16MB (or 6MB) available in Flash.
