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 CMOS technology, the camera provides 50 000 lines/s in a 16k pixel
format 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 isarranged in one single active line, ensuring optimal spatial resolution in both scanning and sensor directions
with off-the-shelf lenses.

6 CAMERA SOFTWARE INTERFACE
6.1 Control and Interface
As all the e2v Cameras, the UNIIQA+ 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 canbe associated to three types of users: Beginner, Expert or Guru. Then you can make life easy for simple
users.
Minimum version of CommCam is 2.2.2 in order to recognize the UNIIQA +USER MANUAL UNIIQA+ 16K CL MONO – REV G – 06/2017

P A G E | 14

6.2 Serial Protocol and Command Format
The Camera Link interface provides two LVDS signal pairs for communication between the camera andthe 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. Somecommands are longer than the others : Waiting for the return code ensure a good treatmentof all the commands
Without saturating the buffer of the camera

Camera Returned Code Table :Returned code
>0
>3
>16
>33
>34

Description(or “>OK”) : All right, the command will be implemented
Error Bad CRC (for write command only)
Invalid Command ID (Command not recognize or doesn't exist)
Invalid Access (the receipt of the last command has failed).
Parameter out of range (the parameter of the last command send is out of range).
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
UNIIQA+ 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”

ROI Gain : How does it works
The ROI Gain feature comes in addition with the FFC (it’s applied and calculated after).
The maximum complementary Gain ix x2.
It can be applied in 2 commands :- First, set the ROI Gain value.
- Second, set the ROI (Region of Interest).
 This second command applies the Gain on the ROI in memory and this is immediately
activated.
 The ROI Gain is a “live” feature that can be overlapped but can’t be saved in memory.

-

Here is an example to apply a complementary gain of x1,5 (512) between the pixels #5263(0x148F) and #9002 (0x232A), pixels included. The two commands are :“w roig 512”“w rois 0x148F232A”

7.5 Flat Field Correction
How is performed the Flat Field Correction ?
What is the Flat Field correction (FFC) ?
The Flat Field Correction is a digital correction on each pixel which allows : To correct the Pixel PRNU (Pixel Response Non Uniformity) and DSNU (Dark Signal Non
Uniformity)
 To Correct the shading due to the lens To correct the Light source non uniformity
BeforeAfter

How is calculated / Applied the FFC ?
The FFC is a digital correction on the pixel level for both Gain and Offset.
 Each Pixel is corrected with : An Offset on 10 bits (Signed Int S9.1). They cover a dynamic of 256LSB in 12bits
with a resolution of 1/2 LSB 12bits. Offet : the MSB is the sign, the rest of 9bits isfrom 0 .. 256 with precision of 1/2
 A Gain on 12 bits (Unsigned Int U2.12) with a max gain value of x5(*)
The calculation of the new pixel value is : P’ = ( P + Off).(1 + Gain/1024(*)). Gain : 0 to 4095
The FFC processing can be completed with an automatic adjustment to a global target. Thisfunction is designed as “FFC Adjust”. This adjustment to a User target is done by an internal
hidden gain which is re-calculated each time the FFC is processed while the FFC adjust
function is enabled.
The FFC is always processed with the max pixel value of the line as reference. If enabled, theFFC adjust module (located at the output of the FFC module) calculates the adjustment gain
to reach the target defined by the User.
When the FFC result is saved in memory, the adjust gain and target are saved in the sametime in order to associate this gain value with the FFC result.

How to perform the Flat Field Correction ?
FPN/DSNU Calibration>>

Cover the lens
Launch the FPN Calibration : Grab and calculation is performed in few seconds

PRNU Calibration
The User must propose a white/gray uniform target to the Camera (not a fixed paper).
The Gain/Light conditions must give a non saturated image in any Line.
The Camera must be set in the final conditions of Light/ Gain and in the final position in the
System.
If required, set a user target for the FFC adjust and enable it.
> White uniform (moving) target. Use The FFC Low Band Filter if the Target can’t move.
This will remove the defects of the target itself> Launch the FFC> Enable the FFC> You can save the FFC result (both FPN+PRNU in the same time) in one of the 8 x FFC
User Banks.
> The user target and Gain are saved with the associated FFC in the same memory.
Advices
The UNIIQA+ Cameras have 8 x FFC Banks to save 8 x different FFC calibrations. You can use
this feature if your system needs some different conditions of lightning and/or Gain becauseof the inspection of different objects : You can perform one FFC to be associated with one
condition of Gain/setting of the Camera ( 4 Max) and recall one of the four global settings(Camera Configuration + FFC + Line Quarters Balance) when required.

7.5.1 Activation and Auto-Adjust

FFC Activation (FFCEnable) : Enable/disable the Flat Field Correction. This command is available
in the CommCam “Flat Field Correction” section : Read function : “r ffcp” : Returns the FFC Status (0 if disabled, 1 if enabled) Write function : “w ffcp 1” : Enable the FFC.
 “w ffcp 0” : Disabled the FFC

FFC Adjust Function : This Feature is available in the CommCam “Flat Field Correction/
Automatic Calibration” section :o Gains adjust (FFCAdjust): Enable/Disable the function
 Read function : “r ffad”. Returns the status of the function (0 if disabled) Write function : “w ffad 0” : Disable the FFC Adjust function.
 “w ffad 1” : Enable the FFC Adjust function.
oAuto Adjust Target Level (FFCAutoTargetLevel): set the value for the User Target.
 Read function : “r tfad”. Returns the Target value (from 0 to 4095)
 Write function : “w tfad <value>” : Set the Target Value (in 12bits)
FFC Adjust : A good usage.
When there are several Cameras to set up in a system on a single line, the most difficult is tohave a uniform lightning whole along the line.
If each Camera performs its own Flat field correction, relative to the max of each pixel line,
the result will be a succession of Camera lines at different levels.
=> The FFC Adjust function allows to set the same target value for all the Cameras in thesystem and then to get a perfect uniform line whole along the system with a precision of 1
LSB to the Target.
The Maximum correction is x2 the highest value of the line.
The reasonable value for the User Target is not more than around 20% of the max value ofthe line.

7.5.2 Automatic Calibration


FFC Low Band Filter (FFCAutoTargetLevel): set the value for the User Target.
 Read function : “r lffw”. Returns the Filter Interval size (from 0 to 255)
 Write function : “w lffw <value>” : Set the Interval size for the filter (0 / 1 … 255)
 0 : Disables the FFC Low Band Filter 1 to 255 : Set the interval size (+/- the value around the pixel) for the Low Band filter
When you can’t provide a moving Target to the Camera during the PRNU Calibration you cansetup the FFC Low Band Filter in order to remove the defect from the Target before calculating
the FFC parameters. The Value set in the FFC filter defined the size of the interval around eachpixel : The Filter will replace each pixel value by the average on the interval.

The User can define an upload a LUT in the Camera that can be used at the end of the processing.
The LUT is defined as a correspondence between each of the 4096 gray levels (in 12 bits) with another
outputted value. For example, a “negative” or “reverse” LUT is the following equivalence :Real value
Output value

Tpix : Timing Pixel. During this uncompressible period, the pixel and its black reference are read out to theDigital converter. During the first half of this timing pixel (read out of the black reference), we can consider
that the exposure is still active.
Digital Conversion : During the conversion, the analog Gain is applied by the gradient of the counting ramp
(see next chapter : Gain & Offset). The conversion time depends on the pixel format :8 or 10 bits : 6µs
12 bits : 24µs
This conversion is done in masked time, eventually during the next exposure period.

Td : Delay between the Start exposure required and the real start of the exposure.

If Tper is the Line Period (internal or external coming from the Trigger line), in order torespect this line Period, the Exposure Time as to be set by respecting : Tint + Tpix <= Tper
Then, the real exposure time is : Tintreal = Tint + Tx - Td.
In the same way, The high level period of the Trig signal in sync=3 mode, Tht >= Tpix
For a Line Period of LinePer, the maximum exposure time possible without reduction of linerateis : Tintmax = Tper-Tpix (Tpix is defined above) but the effective Exposure Time will be about
