Factors inclu d e the natu re, speed , and spectral characteristics of objects being im aged , exposu re tim es, light sou rce characteristics, environm ental and acqu isition system specifics, and m ore. It is often m ore im portant to consid er exposu re than illu m ination. The total am ou nt of energy (w hich is related to the total nu m ber of photons reaching the sensor) is m ore 2 im portant than the rate at w hich it arrives. For exam ple, 5J/ cm can be achieved by 2 2 exposing 5m W/ cm for 1m s ju st the sam e as exposing an intensity of 5W/ cm for 1s. Light Sources Keep these gu id elines in m ind w hen setting u p you r light sou rce: LED light sou rces are relatively inexpensive, provid e a u niform field , and longer life span com pared to other light sou rces. H ow ever, they also requ ire a cam era w ith excellent sensitivity, su ch as the H S-xx cam era. H alogen light sou rces generally provid e very little blu e relative t o infrared light (IR). Fiber-optic light d istribu tion system s generally transm it very little blu e relative to IR. Som e light sou rces age; over their life span they prod u ce less light. This aging m ay not be u niform —a light sou rce m ay prod u ce progressively less light in som e areas of the spectru m bu t not others. Filters CCD cam eras are extrem ely responsive to infrared (IR) w avelengths of light. To prevent infrared from d istorting the im ages you scan, u se a ―ho t m irror‖ or IR cu toff filter that transm its visible w avelengths bu t d oes not transm it w avelengths over 750nm .

Lens Modeling Any lens su rrou nd ed by air can be m od eled for cam era pu rposes u sing three prim ary points: the first and second principal points and the second focal point. The prim ary points for a lens shou ld be available from the lens d ata sheet or from the lens m anu factu rer. Prim ed qu antities d enote characteristics of the im age sid e of the lens. That is, h is the object height and h is the im age height. The focal point is the point at w hich the im age of an infinitely d istant object is brou ght to focu s. The effective focal length (f) is the d istance from the second principal point to the second focal point. The back focal length (BFL) is the d istance from the im age sid e of the 03-032-20013-04 Teledyne DALSA Piranha HS-xx RoHS User Manual 27 lens su rface to the second focal point.

Binning is also u sefu l for increasing fram e rate (vertical binning) or increasing the pixel pitch. For exam ple, if you set you r vertical binning to 2 and you r horizontal binning to 2, you r pixel size increases from 7µm x 7µm (no binning) to 14µm x 14µm (2x2 binning). Figure 20: 2x2 Binning in Area Mode Setting Horizontal Binning Purpose: Increases the horizontal pixel pitch and light sensitivity by d ecreasing horizontal resolution. The am ount of d ata being sent from the cam era is red uced by the horizontal binning factor. Different fram egrabber files are need ed for d ifferent horizontal binning factors. Syntax: sbh m Syntax Elem ents: m H orizontal binning value. Available values are 1 (factory setting, no binning) 2, 4, or 8. N otes: Exam ple: Teledyne DALSA If you are using horizontal binning, the m in, m ax, and m ean statistics generated by the gl or gla com m and are for every second pixel (or valid d ata) only (e.g., if sbh 2, every second pixel). For optim al flat field correction, you should rerun the ccp and ccf com m and s after changing binning values. Changing binning values d oes not autom atically alter gain, fram e rate generation, or other functions of the cam era. Pixel num bering rem ains unchanged for the roi, gl, gla, dpc, gfc, sfc, gpc, and spc com m and s. Refer to Figure 21 for an explanation of pixel num bering and pixel start and stop values w hen using a region of interest. sbh 2 03-032-20013-04 Piranha HS-xx RoHS User Manual 38 Figure 21: Binning Start and End Values when using a Region of Interest roi 4 1 9 1 CCD Pixel Numbering Pixel 1 Pixel data using sbh 2 Pixel 2 Data 1 Pixel 3 Pixel 4 Data 2 Pixel 5 Pixel 6 Data 3 Pixel 7 Pixel 8 Pixel 9 Data 4 Pixel 10 Data 5 In this exam ple a region of interest is set to inclu d e pixels 4 to 9 and horizontal binning is set to 2. Becau se pixel 3 is now inclu d ed in the sam e d ata grou p as pixel 4, the region of interest w ill now inclu d e the d ata from pixel 3. Also, pixel 10 is inclu d ed in the sam e d ata grou p as pixel 9, so pixel 10 is now part of the region of interest. To see how the region of interest start and stop valu es have been rou nd ed , u se the com m and get roi. Setting Vertical Binning Syntax: Increases the vertical pixel pitch and light sensitivity by d ecreasing vertical resolution. Vertical binning is also useful for increasing fram e rate in Area Mod e. Vertical binning in TDI Mod e should only be used if your w eb’s shaft encod er provid es a red uced ratio of pulses to m atch w eb speed . Syntax: sbv i Syntax Elem ents: i Vertical binning value. Available values (not includ ing the H S-82 m od el) are 1 (factory setting, no binning) to 8. Available values for the H S-82 m od el are 1 to 4. N otes: Exam ple: You w ill have to recalibrate the cam era after changing binning values. Increasing the vertical binning, d ecreases the m axim um allow able line rate. You m ay have to enter a new cam era fram e rate after changing vertical binning values if the current value becom es invalid . The cam era send s a w arning m essage in this situation. sbv 2 A note on vertical binning (sbv) and the HS-82 model of camera: Binning increases the cam era’s light sensitivity by d ecreasing horizontal and / or vertical resolu tion — the charge collected by ad jacent pixels is ad d ed together. Binning is also u sefu l for increasing fram e rate (vertical binning) or increasing the pixel pitch. The d efau lt binning setting (1 x 1) in the H S-82-04k80-00-R cam era is essentially equ ivalent to perform ing 2 x 2 binning in stand ard H S-80-08K80-00-R cam era. H orizontal binning is achieved by binning tw o ad jacent colu m ns together d u ring the VCCD to H CCD transfer w hile vertical binning is achieved by transferring tw o VCCD row s into the enlarged H CCD prior to horizontal transfers. This d ifference translates the 1x - 8x 03-032-20013-04 Teledyne DALSA Piranha HS-xx RoHS User Manual 39 binning capability of H S-80-08K80-00-R cam era to 1x - 4x binning in the H S-82-04k80-00-R cam era. 4.3.5 Exposure Mode and Line/Frame Rate How to Set Exposure Mode and Line/Frame Rate You have a choice of operating the cam era in one of tw o exposu re m od es. Depend ing on you r m od e of operation, the cam era’s line/ fram e rate (synchronization) can be generated internally throu gh the softw are com m and ssf or set externally w ith an EXSYN C signal (CC1). When operating in TDI Mod e, it is im portant that the line rate u sed m atches the w eb speed . Failu re to m atch the w eb speed w ill resu lt in sm earing. To select how you want the camera’s line/frame rate to be generated: 1. You m ust first set the cam era’s exposure m od e using the sem com m and . Refer to section Setting the Exposure Mod e below for d etails. 2. N ext, if using m od e 7, use the com m and ssf to set the line/ fram e rate. Refer to section Setting Fram e Rate for d etails. Setting the Exposure Mode Purpose: Sets the cam era’s exposure m od e allow ing you to con trol your sync and line/ fram e rate generation. Syntax: sem m Syntax Elem ents: m Exposure m od e to use.

The analog processing chain begins w ith an analog gain ad ju stm ent, follow ed by an analog offset ad ju stm ent. These ad ju stm ents are applied to the vid eo analog signal prior to its d igitization by an A/ D converter. The d igital processing chain contains the FPN correction , the PRN U correction, the backgrou nd su btract, and the d igital gain and offset. All of these elem ents are u ser program m able.

As a resu lt, perform all analog ad ju stm ents prior to any d igital ad ju stm ents. 1. Analog gain is m u ltiplied by the analog signal to increase the signal strength before the A/ D conversion. It is u sed to take ad vantage of the fu ll d ynam ic range of the A/ D converter. For exam ple, in a low light situ ation the brightest part of the im age m ay be consistently com ing in at only 50% of the DN . An analog gain of 6 d B (2x) w ill ensu re fu ll u se of the d ynam ic range of the A/ D converter. Of cou rse the noise is also increased . 2. The analog offset or black level is an ―artificial‖ offset introd u ced into the vid eo path to ensu re that the A/ D w ill fu nction properly. The analog offset shou ld be set so that it is at least 3 tim es the rm s n oise valu e at the cu rrent gain. Digital Processing To optim ize cam era perform ance, d igital signal processing shou ld be com pleted after any analog ad ju stm ents. 03-032-20013-04 1. Fixed pattern noise (FPN ) calibration (calcu lated u sing the ccf com m and ) is u sed to su btract aw ay ind ivid u al pixel d ark cu rrent. 2. The d igital offset (sdo com m and ) enables the su btraction of the ―artificial‖ A/ D offset (the analog offset) so that application of the PRN U coefficient d oesn’t resu lt in artifacts at low light levels d u e to the offset valu e. You m ay w ant to set the sdo valu e if you are not u sing FPN correction bu t w ant to perform PRN U correction. 3. Photo-Response N on-Uniform ity (PRN U) coefficients are u sed to correct the d ifference in responsivity of ind ivid u al pixels (i.e. given the sam e am ou nt of light d ifferent pixels w ill charge u p at d ifferent rates) and the change in light intensity across the im age either becau se of the light sou rce or d u e to optical aberrations (e.g. there m any be m ore light in the center of the im age). PRN U coefficients are Teledyne DALSA Piranha HS-xx RoHS User Manual 53 m u ltipliers and are d efined to be of a valu e greater than or equ al to 1. This ensu res that all pixels w ill satu rate together. When u sing PRN U correction, it is im portant that the A/ D offset and Fixed Pattern N oise (FPN ) or per pixel offsets are su btracted prior to the m u ltiplication by the PRN U coefficient. The su btraction of these 2 com ponents ensu re that the vid eo su pplied to the PRN U m u ltiplier is nom inally zero and zero m u ltiplied by anything is still zero resu lting in no PRN U coefficient ind u ced FPN . If the offset is not su btracted from the vid eo then there w ill be a rtifacts in the vid eo at low light cau sed by the m u ltiplication of the offset valu e by the PRN U coefficients. 4. Backgrou nd su btract (ssb com m and ) and system (d igital) gain (ssg com m and ) are u sed to increase im age contrast after FPN and PRN U calibration. It is u sefu l for system s that process 8-bit d ata bu t w ant to take ad vantage of the cam era’s 12-bit d igital processing chain. For exam ple, if you find that you r im age is consistently betw een 128 and 255DN (8-bit), you can su btract off 128 (ssb 2048) and then m u ltiply by 2 (ssg 0 8192) to get an ou tpu t range from 0 to 255.

The fixed offset (FPN ) is d eterm ined first by perform ing a calcu lation w ithou t any light. This calibration d eterm ines exactly how m u ch offset to su btract per pixel in ord er to obta in flat ou tpu t w hen the CCD is not exposed . The w hite light calibration is perform ed next to d eterm ine the m u ltiplication factors requ ired to bring each pixel to the requ ired valu e (target) for flat, w hite ou tpu t. Vid eo ou tpu t is set slightly above the brightest pixel (d epend ing on offset su btracted ). Flat Field Correction Restrictions It is im portant to d o the FPN correction first. Resu lts of the FPN correction are u sed in the PRN U proced u re. We recom m end that you repeat the correction w hen a tem peratu re change greater than 10°C occu rs or if you change the analog gain, integration tim e, binning, or nu m ber of integration stages. Note: If your illumination or white reference does not extend the full field of view of the camera, the camera will send a warning. PRN U correction requ ires a clean, w hite reference. The qu ality of this reference is im portant for proper calibration. White paper is often not su fficient becau se the grain in the w hite paper w ill d istort the correction. White plastic or w hite ceram ic w ill lead to better balancing. For best resu lts, ensu re that: 1. 60 H z am bient light flicker is su fficiently low not to affect cam era perform ance and calibration resu lts. 2. For best resu lts, the analog gain shou ld be ad ju sted for the expected operating cond itions and the ratio of the brightest to d arkest pixel in a tap shou ld be less than 3 to 1 w here: 3> Brightest Pixel (per tap) Darkest Pixel (per tap) The cam era is capable of operating u nd er a range of 8 to 1, bu t w ill clip valu es larger than this ratio. 3. The brightest pixel shou ld be slightly below the target ou tpu t. 4. When 6.25% of pixels from a single row w ithin the region of interest are clipped , flat field correction resu lts m ay be inaccu rate. 5. Correction resu lts are valid only for the cu rrent stage selection. If you change the nu m ber of stages, it is recom m end ed that you recalcu late you r coefficients. 6. Correction resu lts are valid only for the cu rrent analog gain and offset valu es.

FPN correction should be performed before PRNU correction. 5 Perform PRNU correction 1. Stop all light from entering the camera. (Tip: Cover lens with a lens cap.) 2. Verify that the output signal level is within range by issuing the command gl or gla. If there are too many zeros in the output data (more than 6.25% of output data within the roi) , increase the analog offset (sao) or use the automated algorithm cao t i. If the average of the pixels is more than 25% of the maximum signal swing, ensure that no light is entering the camera and reduce the analog offset or gain level (sag). 3. Issue the command ccf. The camera will respond with OK> if no error occurs. FPN correction automatically calibrates FPN coefficients. 4. After the correction is complete, you must save these settings to non-volatile memory so they will be remembered and be reusable. To do so, issue the commands wfc i where i is the coefficient set to save and wus. Forward and reverse direction settings are stored separately and coefficients must be saved before switching direction. 5. If you will be operating the camera in the opposite camera shift direction, repeat steps 2 through 4 after changing direction. 6. To verify output, enable the FPN coefficients using the command epc 1 0. You should see close to zero output. Perform PRNU correction next to determine the multiplication factors required to bring each pixel to the required value (balance target) for flat, white output. 1. Place a white reference in front of the camera and remove lens cap. 2. Verify that the output signal level is within range by issuing the command gl or gla. If the signal level is too low, adjust the analog gain (sag) or use the automated algorithm ccg i 0 i. DALSA recommends a target value of about 80% of maximum signal swing per tap. If you change the gain, FPN coefficients should be recalculated. 3. Issue the command ccp or cpa 2 i where i is equal to or greater than the maximum pixel in the image. The camera will respond with OK> if no error occurs. 4. After the correction is complete, you must save these settings to non-volatile memory so they will be remembered and be reusable. To do so, issue the commands wpc i where i is the coefficient set to save and wus. Forward and reverse direction settings are stored separately and coefficients must be saved before switching direction. 5. If you will be operating the camera in the opposite camera shift direction, repeat steps 2 through 4 after changing direction. 6. Enable the coefficients using the command, epc 1 1. You should see a flat line with a couple of DN peak to peak residual patterns. It is necessary to average many lines to see the residual FPN/PRNU.

Syntax: cpa i1 i2 Syntax Elem ents: i1 PRN U calibration algorithm to use: 1 = This algorithm first ad justs each tap’s analog gain so that 813% of pixels w ithin a tap are above the value specified in the target value param eter. PRN U calibration then occurs using the peak pixel in the region of inter est. This algorithm is recom m end ed for use only w hen FPN is negligible and FPN coefficients are set to zero. Since this Teledyne DALSA 03-032-20013-04 Piranha HS-xx RoHS User Manual 64 algorithm ad justs the analog gain, it also affects FPN . If FPN is calibrated prior to running this algorithm , FPN w ill be observable in d ark cond itions and an incorrect FPN value w ill be used d uring PRN U calibration resulting in incorrect PRN U coefficients. 2 = Calculates the PRN U coefficients using the entered target value as show n below : Target PRNU Coefficient = i (AVG Pixel Value ) - (FPN + sdo value) i i The calculation is perform ed for all sensor pixels but w arnings are only applied to pixels in the region of interest. This algorithm is useful for achieving uniform output across m ultiple cam eras. Is is im portant that the target value (set w ith the next param eter) is set to be at least equal to the high est pixel across all cam eras so that all pixels can reach the highest pixel value d uring calibration. 3 = This algorithm includ es an analog gain ad justm ent prior to PRN U calibration. Analog gain is first ad justed so that the peak pixel value in tap’s ROI is w ithin 97 to 99% of the specified target value. It then calculates the PRN U coefficients using the target value as show n below : Target PRNU Coefficient = i (AVG Pixel Value ) - (FPN + sdo value) i i The calculation is perform ed for all sensor pixels but w arnings are only applied to pixels in the region of interest. This algorithm is useful for achieving uniform output across m ultiple cam eras. This algorithm is useful for achieving uniform output across m ultiple cam eras by first ad justing analog gain and then perform ing PRN U calibration.

If FPN is calibrated prior to running this algorithm , FPN w ill be observable in d ark cond itions and an incorrect FPN value w ill be used d uring PRN U calibration resulting in incorrect PRN U coefficients.

This is particu larly relevant as signal and d ata transm issions increase both in com plexity and throu ghpu t. A stand ard cable/ connector assem bly w ill also enable cu stom ers to take ad vantage of volu m e pricing, thu s red u cing costs. The cam era link stand ard is intend ed to be extrem ely flexible in ord er to m eet the need s of d ifferent cam era and fram e grabber m anu factu rers. The Teled yne DALSA Cam era Link Im plem entation Road Map (available from the Know led ege Center on Teled yne DALSA w ebsite) d etails how Teled yne DALSA stand ard izes its u se of the Cam era Link interface. LVDS Technical Description Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) is a high speed , low pow er, general pu rpose interface stand ard . The stand ard , know n as AN SI/ TIA/ EIA-644, w as approved in March 1996. LVDS u ses d ifferential signaling, w ith a nom inal signal sw ing of 350m V d ifferential. The low signal sw ing d ecreases rise and fall tim es to achieve a theoretical m axim u m transm ission rate of 1.923 Gbps into a loss-less m ed iu m . The low signal sw ing also m eans that the stand ard is not d epend ent on a particu lar su pply voltage. LVDS u ses cu rrent m od e d rivers, w hich lim it pow er consu m ption. The d ifferential signals are im m u ne to ±1 V com m on volt noise. Camera Signal Requirements This section provid es d efinitions for the signals u sed in the Cam era Link interface.

Try the general and specific solu tions listed in sections 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3. If these solu tions d o not resolve you r problem , see section 6.4 on getting prod u ct su pport. LED When the cam era is first pow ered u p, the LED w ill glow on the back of the cam era. Refer to section 2.2.1 LED Statu s Ind icator for inform ation on the LED. Connections The first step in trou bleshooting is to verify that you r cam era has all the correct connections. Power Supply Voltages Check for the presence of all voltages at the cam era pow er connector. Verify that all grou nd s are connected . Issu e the com m and , vv, to confirm correct voltages. EXSYNC When the cam era is received from the factory, it d efau lts (no external inpu t requ ired ) to exposu re m od e 7 (TBDkH z fram e rate, internal Sync to trigger read ou t, and TDI Mod e). After a u ser has saved settings, the cam era pow ers u p w ith the saved sett ings. Teledyne DALSA 03-032-20013-04 Piranha HS-xx RoHS User Manual 108 Data Clocking/Output Signals To valid ate cable integrity, have the cam era send ou t a test pattern and verify it is being properly received . Refer to section 4.7.1 Generating a Test Pattern for fu rther inform ation. Troubleshooting Using the Serial Interface The follow ing com m and s can aid in d ebu gging.

Verify Parameters To verify the cam era param eters, send the gcp com m and . See section 4.7.6 Retu rning Cam era Settings for a com plete explanation of the cam era param eters screen. Verify Factory Calibrated Settings To restore the cam era’s factory settings and d isable the FPN and PRN U coefficients, send the rfs com m and . After execu ting this com m and send the gcp com m and to verify the factory settings. Verify Timing and Digital Video Path Use the test pattern featu re to verify the proper tim ing and connections betw een the cam era and the fram e grabber and verify the proper ou tpu t along the d igital process ing chain. See below . Generating Test Patterns The cam era can generate a test pattern to aid in system d ebu gging. Use the com m and svm 1 to activate the test pattern. The test pattern is a ram p from 0 to 255DN , then starts at 0 again. Use the test pattern to verify the proper tim ing and connections betw een the cam era and the fram e grabber. 03-032-20013-04 N o test pattern or bad test pattern— May ind icate a problem w ith the cam era (e.g. m issing bit) or a system setu p problem (e.g. fram e grabber or tim ing ). Verify the presence of the LVAL and STROBE signals. Test pattern successful— Ru n the svm 0 com m and to activate vid eo. Then ru n the gl com m and u nd er both d ark and light cond itions to retrieve a line of raw vid eo (no d igital processing).

Verify Voltage Use the vv com m and to d isplay the cam era's inpu t voltage. Verify Temperature To check the internal tem peratu re of the cam era, u se the vt com m and . For proper operation, this valu e shou ld not exceed 75°C. Note: If the cam era reaches 75°C, the cam era w ill shutdow n and the LED w ill flash red. If this occu rs, the cam era must be rebooted u sing the com m and , rc or can be pow ered d ow n m anu ally. You w ill have to correct the tem peratu re problem or the cam era w ill shu td ow n again. If you enter any com m and other than vt or rc, the cam era respond s w ith: Error 09: The camera's temperature exceeds the specified operating range> Verify Pixel Coefficients Use the dpc com m and to d isplay the pixel coefficients in the ord er FPN , PRN U, FPN , PRN U… The cam era also retu rns the pixel nu m ber for each fifth pixel. End-of-line Sequence To fu rther aid d ebu gging, the cam era can generate an end -of-line sequ ence. The end -ofline-sequ ence ou tpu ts "aa", "55", "line cou nter", "line average", "pixels above threshold ", "pixels below threshold ". To activate the end -of-line sequ ence, u se the com m and els 1. To d isable the end -of-line sequ ence, u se the com m and els 0. Use the sut and slt com m and s to set threshold valu es betw een 0 and 255 for 8 bit d ata m od es, or 0 to 4096 for 12 bit d ata m od es. Specific Solutions No Output or Erratic Behavior If you r cam era provid es no ou tpu t or behaves erratically, it m ay be picking u p rand om noise from long cables acting as antennae. Do not attach w ires to u nu sed pins. Verify that the cam era is not receiving spu riou s inpu ts (e.g. EXSYN C if cam era is in exposu re m od e that requ ires external signals). Unu sed signals in the Cam era Link cable shou ld be term intated in 100Ω. Teledyne DALSA 03-032-20013-04 Piranha HS-xx RoHS User Manual 110 Line Dropout, Bright Lines, or Incorrect Frame Rate Verify that the frequ ency of the internal sync is set correctly, or w hen the cam era is set to external sync that the EXSYN C signal su pplied to the cam era d oes not exceed the cam era’s u seable fram e rate u nd er the cu rrent operating cond itions. Noisy Output Check you r pow er su pply voltage ou tpu ts for noise. N oise present on these lines can resu lt in poor vid eo qu ality. Dark Patches If d ark patches appear in you r ou tpu t the optics p ath m ay have becom e contam inated . Clean you r lenses and sensor w ind ow s w ith extrem e care. 1. Take stand ard ESD precau tions. 2. Wear latex gloves or finger cots 3. Blow off d u st u sing a filtered blow bottle or d ry, filtered com pressed air. 4. Fold a piece of optical lens cleaning tissu e (approx. 3" x 5") to m ake a squ are pad that is approxim ately one finger-w id th 5. Moisten the pad on one ed ge w ith 2-3 d rops of clean solvent—either alcohol or acetone. Do not satu rate the entire pad w ith solvent. 6. Wipe across the length of the w ind ow in one d irection w ith the m oistened end first, follow ed by the rest of the pad . The d ry part of the pad shou ld follow the m oistened end . The goal is to prevent solvent from evaporating from the w ind ow su rface, as this w ill end u p leaving resid u e and streaking behind . 7. Repeat steps 2-4 u sing a clean tissu e u ntil the entire w ind ow has been cleaned . 8. Blow off any ad hering fibers or particles u sing d ry, filtered com pressed air. Stuck Bits If d ata bits seem to be stu ck or d o not change, check that the cam era is not satu rated by preventing light from entering. To verify the d ata path integrity, check the levels of the 2 test pattern pixels (first 2 pixels follow ing the last End -of-line pixel. You m ay need to tu rn the End -of-line sequ ence ―on‖ by send ing the com m and els 1). Any d eviation from a consistent valu e of these pixels (170DN / 85DN ) cou ld be an ind ication of the follow ing: shorted bits stu ck bits d igital noise picku p on the I/ O cable open connection. To activate the test pattern, u se the com m and svm 1. Use the test pattern to verify the proper tim ing and connections betw een the cam era and fram e grabber. 03-032-20013-04 Teledyne DALSA Piranha HS-xx RoHS User Manual 111 To receive a com plete line of raw vid eo d ata (w ithou t d igital processing or test pattern) throu gh the RS232 port, u se the com m and gl. The retu rned d ata d isplays one pixel valu e after another and the m inim u m , m axim u m , and m ean valu e of the sam pled line. Use this com m and to ensu re the proper vid eo inpu t range. Probe the ou tpu t lines w ith an oscilloscope. Disconnect the d igital cable from the cam era and check the d igital signals at the ou tpu t of the cam era. Ensu re that the correct valu es are present. Check all cable connections, especially right at the connector; poor connections or broken w ires w ill cau se rand om ly changing bits or stu ck b its. Horizontal Lines or Patterns in Image A fau lty or irregu lar encod er signal m ay resu lt in horizontal lines d u e to exposu re tim e flu ctu ations; ensu re that you r exposu re tim e is regu lar. If you have verified that you r exposu re tim e is consistent and patterns of low frequ ency intensity variations still occu r, ensu re that you are u sing a DC or high frequ ency light sou rce. Teledyne DALSA 03-032-20013-04 Piranha HS-xx RoHS User Manual 112 Appendix E CCD Handling Instructions Electrostatic Discharge and the CCD Sensor Cam eras contain charge-cou pled d evice (CCD) im age sensors, w hich are m etal oxid e sem icond u ctor (MOS) d evices and are su sceptible to d am age from electrostatic d ischarge (ESD). Electrostatic charge introd u ced to the sensor w ind ow su rface can ind u ce charge bu ild u p on the u nd ersid e of the w ind ow that cannot be read ily d issipated by the d ry nitrogen gas in the sensor package cavity. When charge bu ild u p occu rs, su rface -gated photod iod es (SGPDs) m ay exhibit higher im age lag. Som e SGPD sensors, su ch as the IL-P4 and the ITP4 u sed in the Piranha2 cam eras, m ay also exhibit a highly non -u niform response w hen affected by charge bu ild u p, w ith som e pixels d isplaying a m u ch higher response w hen the sensor is exposed to u niform illu m ination. The charge norm ally d issipates w ithin 24 hou rs and the sensor retu rns to norm al operation. ! WARNING: Charge buildup will affect the camera’s flat-field correction calibration. To avoid an erroneous calibration, ensure that you perform flat-field correction only after a charge buildup has dissipated over 24 hours. Protecting Against Dust, Oil and Scratches The CCD w ind ow is part of the optical path and shou ld be hand led like other optical com ponents, w ith extrem e care. Du st can obscu re pixels, prod u cing d ark patches on the sensor response. Du st is m ost visible w hen the illu m ination is collim ated . The d ark patches shift position as the angle of illu m ination changes. Du st is norm ally not visible w hen the sensor is positioned at the exit port of an integrating sphere, w here the illu m ination is d iffu se. Du st can norm ally be rem oved by blow ing the w ind ow su rface u sing a com pressed air blow er, u nless the d u st particles are being held by an electrostatic charge, in w hich case either an ionized air blow er or w et cleaning is necessary. Oil is u su ally introd u ced d u ring hand ling. Tou ching the su rface of the w ind ow barehand ed w ill leave oily resid u es. Using ru bber fingercots and ru bber gloves can prevent oil contam ination. H ow ever, the friction betw een the ru bber and the w ind ow m ay prod u ce electrostatic charge that m ay d am age the sen sor. To avoid ESD d am age and 03-032-20013-04 Teledyne DALSA Piranha HS-xx RoHS User Manual 113 to avoid introd u cing oily resid u es, only hold the sensor from the ed ges of the ceram ic package and avoid tou ching the sensor pins and the w ind ow . Scratches can be cau sed by im proper hand ling, cleaning or storage of the sensor. Vacu u m picking tools shou ld not com e in contact w ith the w ind ow su rface. CCDs shou ld not be stored in containers w here they are not properly secu red and can slid e against the container. Scratches d iffract incid ent illu m ination. When exposed to u niform illu m ination, a sensor w ith a scratched w ind ow w ill norm ally have brighter pixels ad jacent to d arker pixels. The location of these pixels changes w ith the angle of illu m ination. Cleaning the Sensor Window 1. Use com pressed air to blow off loose particles. This st ep alone is u su ally su fficient to clean the sensor w ind ow . 2. If fu rther cleaning is requ ired , u se a lens w iper m oistened w ith alcohol or acetone. 3. We recom m end u sing lint-free ESD-safe cloth w ipers that d o not contain particles that can scratch the w ind ow . Th e Anticon Gold 9‖x 9‖ w iper m ad e by Milliken is both ESD safe and su itable for class 100 environm ents. Another ESD acceptable w iper is the TX4025 from Texw ipe. 4. An alternative to ESD-safe cloth w ipers is Transplex sw abs that have d esirable ESD properties. There are several varieties available from Texw ipe. Do not u se regu lar cotton sw abs, since these can introd u ce charge to the w ind ow su rface. 5. Wipe the w ind ow carefu lly and slow ly. 6. When cleaning long linear sensors, it m ay be easier to w ipe along the w id th (i .e. as opposed to the length) of the sensor.
