5. Basic Operation and Features

Note: The high-speed interface can be accessed by the microEnableIII-fast

configurationframe grabber. In this case not all functions described in this section are available or are replaced by default values (see [ME_FC]).

5.1 Configuration Interfaces

The MV-D1024-TrackCam can be programmed via a:

• High-speed interface (up to 40 MBaud) that lets you modify important camera configuration parameters with the maximum frame rate.

Note: this interface is designed for the microEnableIII-fast configuration frame grabber.

• A RS232-interface working at 9600 Baud (included in CameraLink© interface).

5.2 Exposure Control

Note: When using the high-speed interface, exposure is controlled by the microEnableIII-

fast configuration frame grabber.

Exposure can be controlled by applying external synchronisation signals (see section

6.4). A free-run mode is also available.

5.3 Global Shutter

The sensor used in the MV-D1024-TrackCam uses a global shutter, i.e. all pixels are exposed at exactly the same time.

5.4 Region of Interest

With the MV-D1024-TrackCam camera, it is possible to increase the image data rate by reading out only a part of the pixel matrix. The user can define a region of interest (ROI) within the sensor to be transmitted to the frame grabber and thus higher frame rates can be achieved.

5.5 LinLog and Skimming Mode

The LinLog

TM

CMOS image sensor from Photonfocus employed in the MV-D1024-

TrackCam allows the user to adapt the characteristics of the sensor to the requirements of the application.

Linear mode: For normal applications that do not require high contrast, the sensor can be operated in linear mode.

Skimming mode: For applications having short exposure times and low illumination intensity, it is advisable to activate skim mode, in which a non-linear amplification, similar to a gamma correction, occurs in the pixel so that small signals are amplified significantly more than large signals.

LinLog

TM

mode: In situations involving high intrascene contrast, compression of the upper grey level region can be achieved with the LinLog

TM

Technology. At low intensities, each pixel shows a linear response. At high intensities, the response changes to logarithmic compression. The transition region between linear and logarithmic response can be smoothly adjusted and is continuously differentiable.

Skimming and LinLog

TM

can be combined to achieve maximum control of the sensor output. Please refer to application note [AN001] for detailed information on the setting of

LinLogTM.

REV: 1.1 Page 8/26

MV-D1024-TrackCam User Manual

5.6 Status Indicator

A two color LED on the rear of the camera indicate the camera status to the user. In normal operation the LED lights green when an image is being produced. At low frame rates a flickering can be observed that changes to a continuous light at high frame rates.

Since the light intensity is dependent on the relation between exposure time and readout time, the light from the LED can practically disappear when using small ROI and long exposure times.

A red LED indicates that serial communication on the RS232-interface is active.

6. PFRemote

6.1 About PFRemote Software

The MV-D1024-TrackCam can be programmed with the tool PFRemote which uses the

CameraLink© RS232-interface.

Note: To use the high-speed configuration interface you need the microEnableIII-fast

configuration frame grabber from Silicon Software. Please refer to the frame grabber manual ([ME_FC]). In this case the camera is programmed by the frame grabber software. However there are functions that can only be programmed by PFRemote software.

Warning: Do not use PFRemote while using the high-speed interface!

6.1.1 Getting The Software

The latest version of the PFRemote software can be downloaded at: http://www.photonfocus.com/html/eng/support/software.php

6.1.2 Installing The Software

LinePause

For free-running mode only: If this flag is set, the frame rate is determined by the frame time which can be set below. Otherwise, the camera will immediately deliver another frame after the sensor exposure.

This is the horizontal blank time in number of pixel clock cycles. Some frame grabbers require larger numbers than the standard default 8

(fastest). If your frame grabber displays artefacts, increase

LinePause.

Exposure Time Exposure time in milliseconds. The slider allows to choose a value within the camera's possible range in a nonlinear way. Note that the frame time slider may be adjusted if the chosen exposure time requires so - read below

Frame Time

Frame Rate

If Constant FrameRate is set, the frame rate is determined by the given frame time in milliseconds. Note that, if this time is less than the exposure time, the Exposure Time slider will be adjusted.

The calculated frame rate in frames per second [fps]

The frame rate display is updated whenever a relevant value is changed. This value can not be edited (use frame rate slider and Constant FrameRate mode for precise frame rate control).

6.5 Window Of Interest

The Window Of Interest (WOI) (also called region of interest) is defined as a rectangle

[x, y, w, h] where

X coordinate of upper left corner, starting with 0

Y coordinate of upper left corner, starting with 0

w Width of window

h Height of window

The rows and columns are counted beginning at 0, i.e. the last row and the last column have the address 1023.

Please note that certain restrictions apply to the start and stop value of horizontal direction (X):

If this is not the case, the LinePause value is automatically increased to avoid image artefacts.

The LineHopping attribute defines the line readout stepping. For example, a number of

2 skips all odd lines.

6.6 MROI / Mask Mode

When activated, the MROI mode applies a maximum number of 16 masks to the current window of interest. A mask is defined as a range of scan lines which are skipped and not read out which further speeds up the image acquisition. Note that mask windows may not overlap and are not checked for sanity. The parent window (Main WOI) must include the first mask, but may exclude trailing, unused masks.

A mask is defined by its Y start value and the height H. These are entered analogous to the main ROI.

Page 15/26

MV-D1024-TrackCam User Manual

6.8 LUT Editor (Look-up Table)

The LUT editor allows to create look-up tables which digitally re-map intensity values to other values. The value conversion is directly done on the camera, whereas an input range [0, n] (n according to camera bit depth) is mapped to a output range of [0, 255].

The LUT editor displays either spline curves or free points (whereas the free point display is not very accurate, since the input values can cover a greater range than the canvas display's size in x).

The input range is [0 ... 511].

Editing of the LUT curve happens by dragging the control points in Spline mode or simply painting on the window in Free mode. Once the curve is ready to be uploaded, you should first test it in the camera's RAM (Default).

Pressing Send uploads the LUT data to the camera (which can take some time, depending on the frame grabber dependant implementation of the serial communication). If LUT mode is not enabled, it is automatically turned on.

The LUT finally can be stored in one of the [m] available EEPROM slots of the camera by selecting the destination with the chooser right next to the Send button.

Further, LUT tables can be downloaded (Receive) from the camera and stored to disk.

Depending on the curve mode, the curve parameters are either

[Spline mode]: Saved in a LUT spline set by entering the setting name in the LUT spline sets choice and pressing Save

[Free mode]: Saved in a readable ascii hex code dump file.

If in spline mode, a set simply can be chosen from the drop down choice. Entries can be erased with the Delete button.

REV: 1.1 Page 16/26

MV-D1024-TrackCam User Manual

6.9 LinLog and Skimming

The LinLog

TM

feature provides a semi-logarithmic, adjustable behaviour of the camera characteristics, so that extreme white intensities can be monitored without saturation while keeping optimum resolution on dark areas.

Note that the LinLog state might not be known to the application after opening the camera configuration dialog. Therefore, the LinLog Control choice displays "Default". Use this choice to turn LinLog off or explicitely on, or reset the camera (Reset to Defaults) to update the current default settings.

The Skimming slider is only accessible after a explicit update of the settings.

Quick steps for LinLog™ adjustment (refer to application note [AN001]):

Choose LinLog Control: LinLog2. Default stands for the default setting which is only well defined if the camera is reset, since LinLog values can not be read back. The LinLog setting makes only use of the LL1 parameter; see below.

Set the LinLog high compression LL1 to a value such that your maximum intensity spot in the image resolves well or just starts to show bright gray.

Set the low compression LL2 to a value less than LL1.

Fine tune the COMP fraction value around small values in the range of [0, 100] to achieve an image with optimum dynamical resolution in high intensity ranges. This may require some iteration through the settings.

The Skimming mode allows to brighten up darker areas (non-linear).

MV-D1024-TrackCam User Manual

6.10 Calibration

Normally, the camera does not need to be calibrated as this is done after manufacture.

In some cases recalibration or detuning by purpose might be desired.

The calibration dialog is called via the Menu Camera->Calibration.

Voltage changes can always be undone by restoring the factory defaults via the configuration dialog.

Entries which are greyed out can not be changed by the user.

Offset LowGain The black level offset voltage for the LowGain setting (i.e. HighGain off

Offset

HighGain

Black level offset voltage for HighGain setting

For calibration, you need a frame grabber software with real time histogram functionality.

It is also possible to do the calibration by looking at the minimal gray value of the grabbed image.

The standard procedure:

1. Make sure that the sensor is receiving no more light by either covering the C mount with the usually included protection cap or by closing the iris of the C mount lens. Set camera exposure time to minimum.

2. Make sure that HighGain is turned off and change the LowGain offset voltage such that the black level peak displays as in the left image below.

3. Same for HighGain: Activate HighGain via the check box and change the offset such that the black level distribution looks like in the image on the right.

4. Store the values in the EEPROM via the Store in EEPROM button.

REV: 1.1 Page 18/26

MV-D1024-TrackCam User Manual

HighGain mode histogram

LowGain mode histogram

The Skimming is normally changed in the LinLog panel but can be changed here as well, if the camera is run in skimming mode by default. In this case, the offset voltage may need to be adjusted. Note that the skimming effect is reverse to the voltage, i.e. higher voltage means: less skimming. Note that with too low skimming voltage settings, the image may no longer look good. Handle with care.
