1.3 Description
e2v’s next generation of line scan cameras are setting new, high standards for line rate and image quality. Thanks
to e2v’s recently developed multi-line CMOS technology, the camera provides an unmatched 100,000 lines/s and
combines high response with an extremely low noise level; this delivers high signal to noise ratio even when short
integration times are required or when illumination is limited. The 5μm pixel size is arranged in four active lines,
ensuring optimal spatial resolution in both scanning and sensor directions with standard F-mount lenses. Vertical
and horizontal binning functions allow the camera to be operated in a 8,192 pixels, 5µm x 5µm pixel pitch, up to 4
active CMOS lines mode or 4,096 pixels, 10µm x 10 µm pixel pitch, 2 active CMOS lines mode depending on the
user settings. This versatile feature sets new standard for next generation machine vision systems

2.2 Image Sensor
The Eliixa+ 8k sensor is composed of two
pairs of sensitive lines. Each pair of lines use
the same Analog to Digital Column converter
(ADC Column). An appropriate (embedded)
Time delay in the exposure between each
line allows combining two successive
exposures in order to double the sensitivity
of a single line.
This Time Delay Exposure is used only in the
4S multi-line modes (4 Lines) and also in the
three binning modes, as described below.
The 8192 Pixels of the whole sensor are
divided in 2 blocks of 4096 pixels.

4STANDARD CONFORMITY
The ELIIXA+ cameras have been tested using the following equipment:
A shielded power supply cable
A Camera Link data transfer cable ref. MVC-1-1-5-2M from CEI (Component Express, Inc.)
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
2004/108/EC (EN50081-2, EN 61000-6-2).

6CAMERA SOFTWARE INTERFACE
6.1 Control and Interface
As all the e2v Cameras, the ELIIXA+ 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 2.1.4 in order to recognize the ELIIXA+ 8k/4k Camera (both versions)
The Versions “BHx” require a CommCam version 2.5.1 and further.

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
The Camera Returned Codes are :
Returned code
meaning
>0
(or “>OK”) : All right, the command will be implemented
>3
Error Bad CRC (for write command only)
>16
Invalid Command ID (Command not recognized or 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 sent is out of range).
>35
Access Failure (bad communication between two internal devices).
6.2.3 GenICam ready
The CameraLink Standard is not yet compliant with GenICam Standard, but as much as possible, each command
of the ELIIXA+ will have its correspondence with the Standard Feature Naming Convention of the GenIcam
Standard.
This correspondence is given in parenthesis for each feature/command as the following example :
Vendor name ( DeviceVendorName ) : “e2v”

7Camera Commands
7.1 Device Control
These values allow identifying the Camera. They can be accessed in CommCam software in the “Info” section
All these values are fixed in factory and can’t be changed (shaded) except the Camera User ID which can be fixed
by the Customer :
Vendor name (DeviceVendorName) : “e2v”
Read function : “r vdnm”;
Returned by the camera : “e2v”, string of 32 bytes (including “/0”)
Can not be written
Model Name (DeviceModelName) : Internal name for GenICam :
Read function : “r mdnm”;
Returned by the camera : String of 32 bytes (including “/0”) :
Can not be written
Device Manufacturer Info (DeviceManufacturerInfo) : Get Camera ID
Read function : “r idnb”;
Returned by the camera : String of 128 bytes (including “/0”)
Can not be written
Device Version (DeviceVersion) : Get Camera Hardware version
Read function : “r dhwv”;
Returned by the camera : String of 32 bytes (including “/0”)
Can not be written
Device Firmware Version (DeviceFirmwareVersion): Get camera synthetic firmware
Read function : “r dfwv”;
Returned by the camera : String of 16 bytes (including “/0”)
Can not be written
Device SFNC Version : 1.5.0
These Parameters (Major, Minor, Sub Minor) are only virtual ones in order to give the SFNC compliance of
the Camera.
Device ID (DeviceID) : Camera Factory identifier ID
Read function : “r deid”;
Returned by the camera : String of 128 bytes (including “/0”)
Write function : “w deid <idstr>”
Device User ID (DeviceUserID) : Camera user identifier ID
Read function : “r cust”;
Returned by the camera : String of 128 bytes (including “/0”)
Write function : “w cust <idstr>”
Electronic board ID (ElectronicBoardID) : Get PcB Board ID
Read function : “r boid”;
Returned by the camera : String of 32 bytes (including “/0”)
Can not be written
Device Temperature Selector (DeviceTemperatureSelector) : MainBoard
Can not be written

USER MANUAL ELIIXA+ 8K/4K CL MONO –REV I–06/2017
PA G E |20
Device Temperature (DeviceTemperature) : Get Main Board Temperature
Read function : “r temp”;
Return by the camera : Temperature in Q10.2 format (8 bits signed + 2 bits below comma). Value is
between -512 to 511 in °C.
Device Serial Port Selection : Indicates the Serial Port on which the Camera is connected.
Device Serial Port Baud Rate (ComBaudRate): Set the Camera BaudRate
Read function : “r baud”;
Returned by the camera : Value of the Baud Rate
Write function : “w baud” <index> with the index as follows :
1 : 9600 Bauds (default value at power up)
2 : 19200Bauds
6 : 57600Bauds
12 : 115200Bauds
Standby Mode (Standby) : Activation of the Standby mode of the Camera
Read function : “r stby”;
Returned by the camera : Boolean.
0 : Disable Standby mode (False)
1 : Enable stanby mode (True)
Write function : “w stby <val>”; <val> is 0 or 1.
A standby mode, what for ?
The Standby mode stops all
activity on the sensor level. The
power dissipation drops down to
about 6W. During the standby
mode, the grab is stopped
Once the Standby mode turned
off, the Camera recovers in less
than 1ms to send images again
from the sensor.
Camera status : Get the Camera status register (32bits Integer)
Read function : “r stat”;
Returned by the camera : 32bits integer :
Bit 0 : (StatusWaitForTrigger) : True if no trig received from more than 1sec
Bit 1 : (StatusTriggerTooFast) : Missing triggers. Trig signal too fast
Bit 2 : (StatusSensorConnection) : True is the Sensor pattern is checked as failed.
Bit 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 : Reserved
Bit 8 : (StatusWarningOverflow) : True is an overflow occurs during FFC or Tap balance processing.
Bit 9 : (StatusWarningUnderflow) : True is an underflow occurs during FFC or Tap balance
processing
Bits 10 : Reserved
Bits 11 : Scrolling Direction : 0 = Forward, 1 = Reverse. Updated only by external CC3 (CameraLink)
Bits, 12, 13, 14, 15 : Reserved
Bit 16 : (StatusErrorHardware) : True if hardware error detected
Bits 17 to 31 : Reserved
