Figure 9.21: LFSR (linear feedback shift register) test image

9.8.3

Troubleshooting using the LFSR

To control the quality of your complete imaging system enable the LFSR mode, set the camera
window to 512 x 512 pixels (x=0 and y=0) and check the histogram. If your frame grabber
application does not provide a real-time histogram, store the image and use a graphic software
tool to display the histogram.

In the LFSR (linear feedback shift register) mode the camera generates a constant
pseudo-random test pattern containing all grey levels. If the data transmission is correctly
received, the histogram of the image will be flat (Fig. 9.22). On the other hand, a non-flat
histogram (Fig. 9.23) indicates problems, that may be caused either by a defective camera, by
problems in the acquisition software or in the transmission path.
