                        1 Introduction  MAVIS is a new and exciting vision product line from ICP DAS, designed specifically for  industry machine vision applications. The MAVIS IM series is designed to meet or exceed  IEEE 1394 standards, while offering industry leading VGA resolution, high-performance  frame rates, and a competitive price point! The Mavis IM30 offers 30fps for low-cost  progressive-scan inspection applications, while the Mavis IM100 can offer up to 100fps, in  full resolution for advanced high-speed i

                        1.4 Function Descriptions  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

                        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 came

                          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.

                          1.4.4 Gain and Brightness  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 a

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.

                          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 a

                        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.

                          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     Camer

                          1.4.7 Input/Output   Input Ports  The MAVIS IM-30/IM-100 offers 2 input ports; designated as Input Port 0  and 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.

                        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 sourcing 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.

                          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 c

                        Level Controlled Exposure Mode  When level controlled 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.

                          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  command 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. Th

                          1.6 Integrate Enabled Signal Timing  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.
