P Precautions s DO O NOT OPEN THE T CAMERA A. WARRANTTY IS VOID IFF CAMERA IS OP PENED. Thiis camera contains sensittive components which ccan be damagged if handled incorrrectly. KEEEP SHIPPING MATERIALL. Poor packaging g of this prodduct can cause damage dduring shippiing. VERIFY ALL EXT XTERNAL CON NNECTIONS. Verify all external connectiions in termss of voltage llevels, power quirements, voltage polaarity, and siggnal integrityy prior to pow wering req thiis device. CLEANING. ning agents..
Cleaning th he sensor DO O NOT CON NTACT CLEAN SENSSOR UNLEESS AB BSOLUTELLY NECESSARY Identiffying Debriss Debris on the image sensor or optical components w will appear as a darkened area or smudge on the image that doees not move as the t camera is moved. m Do not confuse this wiith a pixel defeect which will apppear as a distinct point. Locatin ng Debris Before attempting to clean the imagee sensor, it is im mportant to firsst determine that the problem m is due to debris on n the sensor wiindow.

Notes on triggering Timing diagram Figure 30: Prosilica GE internal signal timing waveforms AVT Prosilica GE Technical Manual V2.0.
Signal definitions Term Definition User Trigger Trigger signal applied by the user (hardware trigger, software trigger) Logic Trigger Trigger signal seen by the camera internal logic (not visible to the user) Tpd Propagation delay between the User Trigger and the Logic Trigger Exposure ... is high when the camera image sensor is integrating light. Readout ... is high when the camera image sensor is reading out data.
Trigge er rule es Thee User Trigger pulse widdth should bee at least thrree times thee width of the Trigger Latency L as inndicated in Chapter Speciifications on page 11. • E will always triggger the nextt Readout. The end of Exposure • The end of Exposure E mu ust always ennd after the ccurrent Readdout. • The start off Exposure must m always ccorrespond w with the Inteerline Time iff Readout is true. • Expose Starrt Delay equals the Readdout time minnus the Registered Expossure Time.

R Reso olution and d ROI fram me ra ates This secction aims to o provide useers with perfoormance infoormation which identifiees the impact of reducing the region of o interest onn the camera’s maximum frame rate. • The camera frame rate ccan be increaased by reduccing the camera's Height attribute, resultiing in a decreased region n of interest (ROI) or "window".
