Introduction

CautionCleaning.

This product can be damaged by some volatile cleaning agents.
Avoid cleaning the image sensor unless absolutely necessary.
Please see instructions on optics cleaning in this document.

Caution

Do not exceed environmental specifications.



See environmental specifications limits in the Specifications
section of this document. Special care must be taken to
maintain a reasonable operating temperature. If the camera
is operated in temperatures higher than the specified range,
the camera should be mounted on a heat sink.

Camera cleaning
Caution
Caution

Allied Vision does not warranty against any physical damage tothe sensor/filter/protection glass or lenses. Use utmost carewhen cleaning optical components.

Do not touch any optics with fingers. Oil from fingers candamage fragile optical coatings.

Identifying debris
Debris on the image sensor or optical components appears as a darkened areaor smudge on a camera image. Do not confuse this with a pixel defect whichappears as a distinct point.

Locating debrisFirst determine whether the debris is on the sensor glass, IR filter (if used), or
lens. The farther away the debris is from the sensor, the blurrier the debris
appears on a camera image.

Prosilica GT Technical Manual V2.4.1

11

Introduction

Stream a live image from the camera using a uniform target, such as a piece of
paper. To determine if the debris is on the camera lens, rotate the lens independent of the camera. If the spot moves, the debris is on the lens. Otherwise, thedebris is on the IR filter (if used) or sensor glass.

Color cameras with IR filter
Prosilica GT color cameras are equipped with an IR filter. With no lens or lens
cap on a camera, the IR filter is exposed and debris can accumulate on it. This is
the most probable location for debris. It should not be necessary to remove theIR filter for cleaning. Clean the outside of the IR filter glass using the techniques explained in the next section. If it is determined that the debris is on theinside surface of the filter glass, or on the sensor glass, IR filter removal is necessary.
Note



•

•

A pin spanner wrench (Allied Vision P/N: E9020001)
suitable for IR filter removal is available for purchase from Allied Vision for all Prosilica GT cameras
except Prosilica GT large format cameras.
DO NOT attempt to remove the camera IR filter for
Prosilica GT large format cameras. Please contact
support@alliedvision.com for assistance.

Cleaning with air
Blow directly on the contaminated surface with moderate pressure, clean compressed air.
Caution

Do not exceed 6 bar (90 psi). If using canned air, approximately ~ 4.8 bar (70 psi) when full, do not shake or tilt thecan, as extreme changes in temperature due to sudden cold
air can crack the optic glass.

View a live image with the camera after blowing. If debris is still present, repeat
the process until it is determined that the particulate cannot be dislodged. If
this is the case, proceed to the contact cleaning technique.

Contact cleaning
Only use this method if the above air cleaning method does not sufficiently
clean the surface. Use 99% pure isopropyl alcohol and clean cotton swabs. Wet
the swab in the alcohol. Quickly wipe the optics in a single stroke. Prolonged
exposure of alcohol on the swab can cause the swab glue to loosen and transfer
to the optic glass. Do not reuse the same swab. Repeat this process until thedebris is removed. If this process fails to remove the debris, contact Allied
Vision.

Filters

Filters
All Prosilica GT color models are equipped with an infrared block filter (IR filter). This filter is employed to prevent infrared wavelength photons from passing to the sensor. In the absence of IR filter, images are dominated by red andincapable of being properly color balanced. Monochrome cameras do not
employ an IR filter.
The figure below shows the filter transmission response for the IRC30 filter
employed in the Prosilica GT cameras.

EF-Mount flange focal distance
Flange focal distance is the optical distance from the lens mounting flange toimage sensor die. Prosilica GT1930L cameras with EF-Mount are calibrated tohave < 70 μm (0.3°) Z-tilt and ±10 μm variation from standard 44 mm flange
focal depth.

Adjustment of EF-Mount
Prosilica GT1930L cameras allow planarity adjustment of the EF lens mount relative to the camera sensor. Adjustment can be made for overall flange focal distance (Z distance), and planarity (Z-tilt). The following steps describe Z adjustment using a standard EF lens and a target. However, measurement tools suchas an optical depth micrometer could also be used.
• Using an EF-Mount compatible lens, set the lens to infinity and image on atarget, 10 to 15 m should suffice. Target should highlight focus levels at
center image and at the corners of the image, as shown in figure 46. A lenswith a long focal length, or adjustable zoom lens, will allow more precision for this operation and reduce the overall size of your target.

Isolated In GND
The Isolated In GND connection provides the user ground reference and return
path for In 2. It is recommended that the ground wiring be physically close to
the In2 wiring to prevent parasitic coupling. For example, a good cable design
connects In 2 to one conductor of a twisted pair, Isolated In GND to the second
conductor of the same twisted pair.

Output signals
Output signals can be assigned to a variety of internal camera signals via software. They can be configured to active high or active low. The internal camera
signals are listed as follows:
Exposing

Corresponds to when camera is integrating light.

Trigger Ready

Indicates when the camera is ready to accept a trigger signal.

Trigger Input

A relay of the trigger input signal used to “daisy chain” thetrigger signal for multiple cameras.

Readout

Valid when camera is reading out data.

Imaging

Valid when camera is exposing or reading out.

StrobeProgrammable pulse based on one of the above events.

GPO

User programmable binary output.

Isolated Out PowerThe Isolated Out Power connection provides power for isolated signals Out 3
and Out 4. The voltage requirement is 5–24 VDC. The current requirement forthis supply is a function of the optical isolator collector current and the numberof outputs used in the system. Isolated Out Power wiring should be physicallyclose to Out 3 / Out 4 wiring to prevent parasitic coupling.

Out 1 and 2 – Non-isolated
Out 1 and Out 2 signals are not electrically isolated and can be used when environmental electrical noise is inconsequential and faster trigger response isrequired. Tie signal ground to Camera GND to complete the external circuit. The
output signal is a low voltage TTL, maximum 3.3 V. Not suitable for driving
loads in excess of 50 μA.

Lens control
Prosilica GT standard and extended cameras
Prosilica GT standard and extended cameras can be used with C-/CS-Mount auto
iris lenses of DC type, and P-Iris type.
Both DC and P-Iris lens types use the same standard connector, shown left,
located on the side of the camera. Lens type is automatically determined by thecamera on power-up. Connecting the lens after the camera is powered will notdamage the lens, but it will not be recognized by the camera; therefore, the relevant camera control attributes will not function. If this occurs, disconnect andreconnect the camera power supply.
Note

Video-type auto iris lenses are not supported.

Motorized CCTV lenses are not supported.
***Read lens descriptions carefully before purchasing***
For example, a “motorized iris lens” may be a bipolar single
axis motorized lens, and not a DC auto iris or P-Iris lens

Camera interfaces

DC-Iris lenses
The Prosilica GT standard and extended cameras operate with any standard DCtype auto iris lens. Allied Vision tested lenses include Fujinon DV10x8SA-SA1L,
Computar HG2Z0414FC-MP, and Pentax C61227DCPS.
DC-type auto iris lenses are continuously driven by a voltage (0–3.3 V) from thecamera lens control port. This voltage level determines whether the lens opens
or closes, and is calculated based on the applicable iris camera attributes.
Operation
1.

Connect a DC-Iris lens to the camera before powering up the camera.

2.

Power up camera, and open camera control software.

3.

Set camera to live image with desired ExposureValue and GainValue attributes.

4.

Set IrisMode = DCIris. Camera uses an automatic algorithm to determine
correct lens iris position based on the IrisVideoLevel attribute.

5.

If lens operation is too slow or oscillates, see LensDCDriveStrength.

www

DC-Iris controls are described further in the following documents:
PvAPI users: GigE Camera and Driver Attributes document
VIMBA and third-party software users: GigE Features Reference document

P-Iris lenses
P-Iris (Precise iris) lenses allow the camera to adjust to an exact F-number without drift, through the usage of a stepper motor. The host system knows theexact position of the iris at all times, allowing for a closed loop feedback system.
Operation
1.

Connect a P-Iris lens to the camera before powering up the camera.

2.

Power up camera, and open camera control software.

3.

Set camera to live image with desired ExposureValue and GainValue attributes.

4.

Set LensPIrisFrequency as specified by lens documentation, or in supported P-Iris lens list, as described in the next section. All P-Iris lenses
tested thus far operate well between [100-200].

5.

Set LensPIrisNumSteps as specified by lens documentation, or in supported P-Iris lens list, as described in the next section.

6.

Set IrisMode attribute to PIrisAuto or PIrisManual. PIrisAuto uses anautomatic algorithm to determine correct LensPIrisPosition based on theProsilica GT Technical Manual V2.4.1

68Camera interfaces

IrisVideoLevel attribute. PirisManual allows manual control of LensPIrisPosition.

Prosilica GT large format cameras
Electro-Focus (EF) lens control is available on the Prosilica GT1930L cameras.
EF lens control allows focus and aperture control via host software.

Modular_concept_external.pdf

Operation••

Connect an EF lens to the camera before powering up the camera.
Power up camera, and open camera control software.

Caution•••

The max power supplied via PoE is 13 W. EF lens power requirements will vary from lens to lens; however, typical ratings arein the 3–4 W range.
Should your lens + camera power requirements exceed 13 W,
it will be necessary to power the camera via Hirose.

Use EFLensInitialize command to initialize the EF lens. This command is
automatically executed on power up and/or when lens is attached to camera.
Adjust the focus and aperture using EFLensFocus and EFLensFStop controls, respectively.
If lens does not operate as expected, see EFLensState and EFLensLastError.

Trigger rules
Note


•
•
•
•

The user trigger pulse width should be at least three times thewidth of the trigger latency as indicated in chapter
Specifications on page 14.

The end of exposure will always trigger the next readout.
The end of exposure must always end after the current readout.
The start of exposure must always correspond with the interline time if
readout is true.
Exposure start delay equals the readout time minus the registered exposure time.

Triggering during the idle state
For applications requiring the shortest possible Trigger Latency and the smallest
possible Trigger Jitter the User Trigger signal should be applied when Imaging isfalse and Idle is true. In this case, Trigger Latency and Trigger Jitter are as indicated in the camera Specifications section.

Triggering during the readout state
For applications requiring the fastest triggering cycle time whereby the camera
image sensor is exposing and reading out simultaneously, apply the User Trigger
signal as soon as a valid Trigger Ready is detected. In this case, Trigger Latency
and Trigger Jitter can be up to 1 row time since Exposure must always begin on
an Interline boundary.

Resolution and ROI frame rates

Resolution and ROI frame rates
This section charts the resulting frame rate from changing sensor height fromfull image to a single line.
Unless otherwise noted, sensors do not give an increase in readout speed witha reduction in width. However, in cases where a camera is limited by frame rate
due to bandwidth restrictions, a reduction in width will give a frame rateincrease. Cameras with a “burst mode” frame rate (see chapter Specifications on
page 14) are able to output more data than the maximum available bandwidth(124 MB/s), and will see a frame rate increase with a reduction in width.
Note



•

•

•
•

Data was generated using StreamBytesPerSecond = 124
MB/s (full bandwidth) and an 8-bit pixel format. Frame
rates may be lower if using network hardware incapableof 124 MB/s.
For maximum speed advantage on quad-tap CCD sensors,
ROIs are center image, where feature OffsetY = (fullsensor height – ROI height)/2.
There is no frame rate increase with reduced width.
BinningVertical is horizontal row summing on CCD
before readout. The frame rate for an ROI at the same
effective height as binning will be slower because the CCD
still needs to read out the “fast readout rows” in ROI
mode.
