To ensure seamless operation, ICP DAS recommends that your system meets the minimum requirements below:

Platform: Pentium III 800MHz CPU, 256MB DDRAM or above.

VGA display: AGP 4X or above.

Display setting: 800 x 600 resolution or above.

32-bit OS only:

if using Windows 2000, please upgrade to Service Pack 4 or above.

If using Windows XP, please upgrade to Service Pack 2 or above.

**Please refer 1.7 Benchmark for system limitation information.**

In this section, we will outline the MAVIS IM-30/IM-100 camera control functions.

To ensure proper implementation, please carefully review the, limitation parameters and formula calculations, listed below.

1.4.1 AOI (Area of Interest)

The AOI (Area of Interest) function allows users to select an area of interest, for the camera’s CMOS array to specifically read, display, and transmit.

Figure 1-1: AOI (Area of Interest)

The AOI function will also enhance camera acquisition speed, however users must still consider the following factors:

(1) The amount of time it takes to transfer a captured image from the

CMOS sensor to the frame buffer.

(2) The amount of time it takes to transfer an image from the frame buffer to the PC via 1394 bus.

(3) The camera exposure time setting.

Below, are three formulas that can help you to calculate the maximum frame rate, while using the AOI function. Please note that the lowest value will determine the maximum frame rate for the given AOI.

Formula 1: Max. Frames/s = 1 / (((AOI High + 2) x 15.28us) + 15.28us)

Formula 2: Max. Frames/s = 1 / (Packet per frame x 125us)

Formula 3: Max. Frames/s = 1 / (exposure time in us + 28us)

For example, if your AOI is set for 200 columns wide and 240 rows high, and exposure time is set for 1000us. Also the packet per frame with the

current settings is 5.

Formula 1:

Max. Frames/s = 1 / (((240 + 2) x 15.28us) + 15.28us)

Max. Frames/s = 269.2

Formula 2:

Max. Frames/s = 1 / (5 x 125us)

Max. Frames/s = 1600

Formula 3:

Max. Frames/s = 1 / (1000 us + 28us)

Max. Frames/s = 972.76

By using the calculations above, the AOI for this particular scenario can be calculated at 269 frames per second.

1.4.2 Test Pattern

The MAVIS IM-30/IM-100 series cameras offer an internal generated test pattern for testing camera transmission. The test pattern will show a gray bar running diagonally, moving upwards at 1pixel/frame.

Figure 1-2: MAVIS IM-30/IM-100 gray bar test pattern

When setting camera to test pattern mode, then camera will keep this configuration even after rebooting the camera. Please be sure to disable test pattern mode after your test completed testing.

1.4.3 Mirror Image

The mirror image feature is only available in the MAVIS IM-100 camera. When you enable mirror image mode, the camera will reflect the image’s vertical axis, before data is transmitted out of the camera.

In factory mode, the mirror image is disabled and the order of transmission for the pixels in each line is pixel 1, pixel 2, pixel 3, to 640. When mirror image mode is enabled, the order of transmission for each line is pixel 640, pixel 639, pixel

638, to pixel 1.

Figure 1-3: Mirror Imaging

If you are using the AOI mode (area of interest) in conjunction with mirror image mode, the apparent location of your AOI may change.

You may need to adjust the location and size of the AOI.

The Gain and Brightness adjustment functions are accomplished by manipulation of the sensor’s digital output signal.

Please refer in Figure 1-4; when the gain is set to 0, the full 10bit output range of the camera’s CMOS sensor will mapped directly to the

8bit output range of the camera. In this situation, a gray value of 0 is output from the camera when the pixels in the sensor are exposed to no light and a gray value of 255 is output when the pixels are exposed to very bright light. This condition is defined as 0dB of system gain for the camera.

As shown in the three graphs below, increasing the gain setting to a value greater than 0, maps a smaller portion of the sensor’s 10bit range to the camera 8bit output.

When a smaller portion of the sensor range is mapped to the camera output, the camera’s sensitivity to a change in light level is increased.

This feature can be useful when at your brightest exposure, a gray value of less than 255 is achieved.

For example, if a maximum gray value of 127 is achieved with bright light, you could increase the gain setting so that the camera is operating at 6dB; thus seeing an increase in gray values to 254.

Table 1-1 Gain value settings

Please refer to “Figure 1-5”;

Which illustrates the effect of setting the brightness higher than the default value of 725. It should be noted that this setting moves the response curve to the left; therefore increasing the 8bit value output from the camera for any given 10bit value from the sensor, and also increasing the apparent brightness of the image.

The bottom graph illustrates the effects of setting the brightness lower than the default value of

725. It should be noted that this setting moves the response

Figure 1-5: Brightness Settings Mapping

curve to the right; therefore decreasing the 8bit value output from the camera for any given

10bit value from the sensor and also decreasing the apparent brightness of the image.

1.4.5 Lookup Table

MAVIS IM-30/IM-100 cameras have a sensor that reads pixel value at a

10bit depth; however, the camera outputs pixel values at an 8bit depth.

When set for 8bit output, the camera normally uses an internal process to convert the 10bit pixel values from the sensor to the 8bit values transmitted out of the camera. When making the 10 to 8bit conversion, the internal process takes the camera current gain and brightness settings into account.

The MAVIS IM-30/IM-100 camera allows users to use a custom lookup table to map the 10bit sensor output to 8bit camera output rather than using the internal process. When the custom lookup table is enabled, the gain and brightness settings have no effect. The 10 to 8bit conversion is based solely on the lookup table.

The lookup table is essentially just a list of 1024 values. Each value in the table represents the 8bit value that will be transmitted out of the camera when the sensor reports a particular 10bit value for a pixel. The first number in the table represents the 8bit value that will be transmitted out of the camera when the sensor reports that a pixel has a value of 0. The second number in the table represents the 8bit value that will be transmitted out of the camera when the sensor reports that a pixel has a value of 1. The third number in the table represents the 8bit value that will be transmitted out of the camera when the sensor reports that a pixel has a value of 2. And so on.

The advantage of the lookup table feature is that it allows the user to customize the response curve of the camera.

The graphs below represent th e contents of two typical lookup tables.

Figure 1-6 is for a lookup table where the values are arranged so that the output of the camera increases linearly as the sensor output increases.

Fi gure 1-6: LUT with Values Mapped in a Linear Fashion

Figure 1-7 is for a lookup table where the values are arranged so that the camera output increases quickly as the sensor output moves from 0 through 511 and increases gradually as the sensor output moves from 512 through 1023.

Figure 1-7: LUT with Values Mapped for Higher Camera Output at Low Sensor Readings

Upload a Lookup Table

The EZView utility offers a n LUT enable and upload button that can be used to easily load a file containing a customized lookup table into the camera. The file must be plain text and must be formatted correctly.

The file must have 1024 lines with each line containing two comma-separated values.

The first value on each line represents a 10 bit pixel reading from the sensor and the second value represents the corresponding

8bit output that will be transmitted from the camera.

The sample below shows part of a typical text file for a lookup table. Assuming that you have enabled the lookup table feature on your camera and used the upload button to load a file similar to the sample into the camera:

The sensor reports that a pixel has a value of

1, the camera will output a value of 0.

The sensor report that a pixel has a value of

6, the camera will output a value of 1.

The sensor report that a pixel has a value of

1019, the camera will output a value of 254.

1.4.6 Shutter (Exposure)

The camera exposure time is related with shutter speed or camera frame rate. MAVIS IM-30/IM-100 allowed to set shutter speed range from 20us to

81900us.

While user set the exposure time (shutter speed) longer then frame acquisition speed then camera frame rate will be reduced.

For example: if user set the frame rate in 30fps but set the shutter speed in

36000us.

Maximum exposure time (Shutter speed) = 1s / frame rate

36000us = 1s / frame rate

Camera real frame rate = 27 frames per second

1.4.7 Input/Output

Input Ports

The MAVIS IM-30/IM-100 offers 2 input ports; designated as Input Port 0 a nd Input Port 1. Both ports are TTL level. The input ports are accessed via the 10-pin circular connectors on the back of the camera. Please refer

Table 2-1 for input port pin assignments.

For each port, an input voltage between 0.0 and 1.5VDC indicates a logical

0. An input voltage between 3.5 and 5.0 VDC indicates a logical 1. Typical current draw for the input port is 1mA.

Figure 1-6 is an example of a typical circuit that you can use to input a signal into the MAVIS IM-30/IM-100 cameras.

Figure 1-9: Typical Input Circuit

By default, Input Port 0 is assigned to receive an external trigger (Ex-Trig) signal that can be used to control the start of exposure. Also you can change the Ex-Trig signal to Input Port 1 and please refer “5.6 External

Trigger” for detail information. z

Output Ports

The MAVIS IM-30/IM-100 offers 4 output ports; designated as Output Port 0,

Output Port 1, Output Port 2 and Output Port 3, all are TTL level. The output ports are accessed via the 10-pin circular connectors on the back of the camera. Please refer Table 2-1 for input port pin assignments.

For each port, an output voltage between 0.0 and 0.44VDC indicates a logical 0. The maximum low level output voltage (i.e., 0.44VDC) will be present when the driver is sinking the maximum allowed input current of

24mA. An output voltage between 4.2 and 5.0VDC indicates a logical 1.

The minimum high level output voltage (i.e., 4.2VDC) will be present when the driver is sou rcing the maximum allowed output current of 24mA.

Figure 1-7 is an example of a typical circuit that you can use to monitor an output port with a LED or an Opto-coupler. Note that current in the circuit is limited by an external resistor.

Figure 1-10: Typical Output Signal

By default, Output Port 0 is assigned to transmit an integration enabled

(Int-En) signal that indicates when exposure is taking place. By default,

Output Port 1 is assigned to transmit a trigger ready (Trig-Rdy) signal that goes high to indicate the earliest point at which exposure start for the next frame can be triggered. Please refer “1.6 Integrate Enabled Signal Timing” for a detailed camera signal integrate timing chart. The pin assignment of the camera output sig nals to physical output ports can be changed. Please refer “5.7 External Trigger” for detailed information.

1.4.8 External Trigger

The external trigger (Ex-Trig) input signal can be used to control the start of exposure. A rising edge or a falling edge can also be used to trigger exposure start. The External Trigger Mode is also used to enable the

Ex-Trig exposure start control; enabling users to select rising or falling edge triggering and to assign a physical input port to receive the Ex-Trig signal.

The Ex-Trig signal can be periodic or non-periodic. When the camera is operating under control of an Ex-Trig signal, the period of the Ex-Trig signal determines the camera’s frame rate:

1 / Ex-Trig period per second = frame rate

For example, if you are operating a camera with an Ex-Trig signal period of

20ms (0.02s):

1/0.02 = 50 fps

So in this case, the frame rate is 50fps

The minimum high time for a rising edge trigger (or low time for a falling edge trigger) is 1us.

Exposure Modes

If you are triggering the camera with an Ex-Trig signal, two exposure modes are available, programmable mode and level controlled mode.

Programmable Exposure Mode

When programmable mode is selected, the length of the exposure is determined by the shutter setting described in “1.4.6 Shutter (Exposure)”. If the camera is set for rising edge triggering, exposure starts when the

Ex-Trig signal rises. If the camera is set for falling edge triggering, exposure starts when the Ex-Trig signal falls.

Figure 1-11: Programmable Exposure with rising edge triggering

Level Controlled Exposure Mode

When level control led mode is selected, the length of the exposure is determined by Ex-Trig signal alone. If the camera is set for rising edge triggering, exposure begins when the Ex-Trig signal rises and continues until Ex-Trig signal falls. If the camera is set for falling edge triggering, exposure begins when Ex-Trig signal falls and continues until Ex-Trig signal rises.

Figure 1-12: Level Controlled Exposure with rising edge triggering

1.4.9 Strobe Control

This feature allows a user to enable and parameterize up to four strobe light control output signals. The signals are designated as Strobe 0, Strobe 1,

Strobe 2, and Strobe3. Each strobe signal can be set to on or off and active high or low by logical value, please refer to section 5, “Function Library”, for comma nd definitions.

The strobe delay is determined by a combination of two values. The first is the setting in the Delay Value and the range from 0 to 4095. The second is the Strobe Delay Time Base which has a default value of 1/1024 ms.

Strobe Delay = (Strobe Delay Value Setting) x (Strobe Delay Time Ba se)

For example: If Delay Value of Strobe 0 is set to 120, then Strobe 0 delay will be 120/1024ms (or approximately 117us).

The Strobe delay will determine the time between the start of image exposure and when the strobe signal changes state as show in Figure

1-13.

Figure 1-13: Strobe Signal

As mentioned above, the strobe delay time base is normally fixed at

1/1024ms and the strobe delay is normally adjusted by changing the delay value setting only. However, if you require a delay that is longer then what you can achieve by changing the strobe delay value alone, the strobe delay time base can also be changed. The strobe time base range has a multiplier of 1 to 85.

For example: with Delay Value of Strobe 1 set to 200 and a Delay Time

Base of 20:

Strobe1 Delay = (Strobe1 Delay Value Setting) x (Strobe Delay Time Base)

Strobe1 Delay = (200) x (20/1024ms)

Strobe1 Delay = 3.9ms

Figure 1-11: MAVIS IM30/IM100 Camera Spectral Response

The camera spectral response curve excludes Lens and lighting source characteristics.

1.6 Integrate Enabled Signal T iming

The time between the start of exposure and the rise of the Integrate Enabled (Int-En) signal will be less than 10 nanoseconds. The time between the end of exposure and the fall of Int-En signal will also be less than 10 nanoseconds. This is very good performance, and is due to the design of the camera output port circuitry.

8.2 Glossary

AOI is means the a rea of interest. A user-defined, rectangular area (a squa re is common) on a CCD that is ex posed and processed as an image. For image proce ss ing field, the AOI also means a user-defined area for inspection or measurement application for saving system images processing time.

Bit Depth -The number of bits used to code a value (such as a pixel component) into an integer value. This is directly related to the number of levels that the value might have, such as 256 with an

8-bit depth or 1,024 with a 10-bit depth.

CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) – CMOS is a widely used type of semiconductor. CMOS semiconductors use both

NMOS (negative polarity) and PMOS (positive polarity) circuits. Since only one of the circuit types is on at any given time, CMOS chips require less powe r than chips using just one type of transistor. CMOS traditionally consumes little power and can be fabricated on just about any standard silico n production line, so they tend to be extremely inexpensive compared to CCD sensors.

FireWire/1394 - The 1394 digital link standard was conceived in 1986 by technologists at Apple Computer, who chose the trademark 'FireWire', in reference to it s

(Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers) defined this standard is IEEE 1394.

There are two IEEE 1394 standards in current market; 1394a for data transmission rates up to 400Mbps, and the other is IEEE 1394b; for data transmission rates up to 800Mbps.

Gain is the leve l of amplification of a signal. The Gain affects image sharpness sensed by the naked eye.

When gain is increased in an image, one mus t also take into consideration the addition of sign ificant

“noise”.

Pixel Size - Most CCD and CMOS imagers con sist of picture elements dubbed "pixels".

Each pixel is one sensor within the array and ha s a definite size, which should be available by the manufa cturer. Sizes typically range from 8-20 micr ons. The pixel size is a technical parameter that relates to resolution, process f eature dimensions and pixel architecture. For a giv en die size, a high resolution requires a small pixel

Progressive-Scan - A system of video scanning whereby lines of a picture are transmitted consecutively, such as in the computer world. This method is often used in

D VD video encoding where the video is produced by scanning the film. It is also used in enhanced and high definition television systems as it is supposed to produce less visual artifacts than the interlaced mode but requires a higher refreshing rate.

Sensor Size - The “Sen sor Size” is the d imensions of CCD/CMOS sensor area, which is responsible for transforming light into electrica l signals. Typically, the sensor size from 1/4” to 1 ” and measured by diagonal size.
