ELIIXA+® 16k/8k CXP Color 2.2 Image Sensor The Eliixa+ Colour 16k sensor is composed of two pairs of sensitive lines. ADC Column The Colour version has been completed with RGB colour Filter and disposed as detailed beside. Intermediate Blind Pixel Pixel Line A Each pair of lines use the same Analog to Digital Column converter (ADC Column).

ELIIXA+® 16k/8k CXP Color 2.2.2 True Colour Single Mode (TCS) 10µm pixels (R,G,B) Twice less pixels than B/W Requires x3/2 the data flow of B&W  Sensitivity Half of the TCE mode: Equivalent to 6 x Pixels of 5µm (with their respective colour filters).  “Full Exposure control” not needed in TC as the TDI is not active (only binning). The Exposure time can be control as for a single line mode.  Not sensitive to the Scanning direction and the variation of the aspect ratio of the image.

ELIIXA+® 16k/8k CXP Color 3.2.1 Power Over CoaXPress The ELIIXA+ CXP is compliant with the Power Over CoaXPress : There is no Power connector as the power is delivered through the Coaxial Connectors 1 and 2. In the Standard, the Power Over CoaXPress allows to deliver 13W (under 24V) per Channel. The ELIIXA+ CXP requires 19W then two connectors are required for the power : The two first are used for this purpose.

ELIIXA+® 16k/8k CXP Color 6 6.1 CAMERA SOFTWARE INTERFACE Control and Interface The ELIIXA+ CoaxPress Camera is compliant with GenICam 2.1 and the SFNC 1.5 standards. This means that the Camera embeds its own definition and parameter description in an xml file. Most of these Parameters are compliant with the SNFC. The specific parameters (non SNFC) are still compliant with GenICam and can be detailed through the GenICam API process to the application.

The Forward direction is defined as detailed below : Note : The delay for the Camera to take in account a change in the ScanDirection value is 200ms This information can be set dynamically by using one of the two External Trig lines (Line0 or Line1) of the GPIO connector (change the direction “on the fly”).

ELIIXA+® 16k/8k CXP Color 6.2.3 Acquisition Control The Acquisition Control section describes all features related to image acquisition, including the trigger and exposure control. It describes the basic model for acquisition and the typical behavior of the device. An Acquisition is defined as the capture of a sequence of one or many Frame(s). This Acquisition mode and its command is managed by the Frame Grabber. A Frame is defined as the capture of Width pixels x Height lines.

ELIIXA+® 16k/8k CXP Color 6.2.3.1 External Triggers on GPIO Connector An External GPIO connector allows the camera to used 2 lines for triggering (Line0 and Line1) The end-user has the responsibility of the definition of the triggering system. The mapping describes all features available to define a trigger system 6.2.3.

ELIIXA+® 16k/8k CXP Color 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. I f required, set a user target for the FFC adjust and enable it.

ELIIXA+® 16k/8k CXP Color 6.2.8 Statistics and Line Profile This function allows the User to get some statistics on a pre-defined ROI. On request, the Camera acquires and then calculates some key values as the min, the max, the average or the standard deviation in this Region of Interest. The grab and calculation command and also the collection of the results is not performed in real time as it is done through the serial connection.
