Rad-icon 2329 GigE Detector
Teledyne DALSA
Nr Exp Frames
The number of
exposed frames.
RW
Controls the Trigger output. To be used with
Trigger Mode “Triggered Sequence”
Nr Offset Frames
The number of offset
frames
RW
This will output a sequence of offset images.
After this number, the read out of the detector is
stopped. Should be used with Trigger Mode
“Triggered Sequence”
Summing Scheme
This register
programs the
summing scheme
RW
The summing scheme number indicates the
summing algorithm for the output image.
The left digit indicates the number of summed
frames for the first output image and the right
digit indicates the number of summed frames for
the next output images.
For instance 24: first two frames are summed for
the first output image, after that 4 frames are
summed per output image.
Changing Modes and Settings
Changing modes and settings via commands or CamExpert software should not be
done when the detector is busy. There should be enough pause for the detector to
process the last frame from the previous operation. The pause duration required
could be up to 500ms during summing modes. Please consult Teledyne Dalsa for
more details on read out and trigger mode changing on the fly.
First image after Standby or Switching Modes
Images acquired after a long period in standby mode or after switching trigger or
read out modes might contain unwanted data from dark current accumulation or
reset behavior. It is required to read and discard at least 2 images after such extended
standby period.
Read out Modes
When the Trigger Mode is set to Free Running, the frame period can be calculated for
all read out modes by adding the Extended Exposure with the read out time. The
Extended Exposure value must be chosen high enough that the bandwidth of the
GigE is below 100MByte/second.
Full Resolution
In Full Field-of-View, full resolution of the sensor is read out and streamed to the host
system. A butting gap is injected in vertical direction in the image to indicate at what
position the two separate sensors are butted to each other, the pixel value of this
butting gap is 1. Refer to chapter “Mechanical Interface” for the exact location.
The table below indicates the pixel values in one line and where the butting gap is
located (shaded) in the columns in different modes.
