AD-081GE

10.3.
Basic functions
The AD-081GE is based on a beam-splitter prism, allowing precise separation into two separate
monochrome channels. The transmitted light channel is referred to as BW1 and the reflected
channel is referred to as BW2. BW 1 and 2 can be configured to operate separately or
synchronously. When operating separately each channel can be triggered independently.
The AD-081GE can operate in Continuous (free-run) mode or in triggered modes.
The variable partial scan mode provides higher frame rates at lower vertical resolution.
10.3.1 RJ-45 outputs
The AD-081GE has two RJ-45 connectors, GigE-1 for BW1 and GigE-2 for BW2. These two signals
can be set as synchronous or asynchronous, as well as high frame rate, high dynamic range, or
high s/n mode, which are AD-081GE features. In high frame rate, high dynamic range, and high
s/n modes, the synchronization of two sensors is automatically set at synchronous.
10.3.2 Sync mode (Register 0xA098)
Two image sensors can be operated either in SYNC mode or ASYNC mode as well as specific
functions such as high frame rate, high dynamic range or high s/n mode.
This can be set by the “Sync mode command”.
