3.12 Test Images
The test image mode is used to check the camera’s basic functionality and its ability to transmit
an image via the video data cable. The test image can be used for service purposes and for failure
diagnostics. In test mode, the image is generated with a software program and the camera’s digital
devices and does not use the optics, CCD sensor, VGC or ADC. Three test images are available.
You can put the camera in test image mode using either the Camera Configuration Tool Plus (see
Section
and the configuration tool’s on-line help file) or binary commands (see Section
With the configuration tool, you use the Test Image setting in the Output group to select the test
image. With binary commands, you use the Test Image command.
3.12.1 Test Image One
Test image one consists of lines with repeated gray scale gradients.
If the camera is set for an 8 bit output mode, the
gradients range from 0 to 255. The top line starts
with a gray value of 0 on pixel 1. The second line
starts with a gray value of 1 on the pixel 1. The
third line starts with a gray value of 2 on the pixel
1, and so on. Line 256 starts with a gray value of
255 on pixel 1. Line 257 restarts a gradient with a
gray value of 0 on the pixel 1, and so on.
If the camera is set for a 10 bit output mode, the
gradients range from 0 to 1023. The top line starts
with a gray value of 0 on pixel 1. The second line
starts with a gray value of 1 on the pixel 1. The
third line starts with a gray value of 2 on the pixel
1, and so on. Line 1024 starts with a gray value of
1023 on the pixel 1. Line 1025 restarts a gradient
with a gray value of 0 on the pixel 1, and so on.
L
When a test image is active, the gain, offset, and exposure time have no effect on
the image.
Digital shift makes test images appear very light, therefore, digital shift should be dis-
abled when a test image is active.
Binning and Area of Interest will effect the appearance of test images.
If the camera is set for an exposure mode that uses an ExSync signal, the ExSync
signal must be present and must toggle in order for the camera to output test im-
ages.
