GENERAL PURPOSE IO PORT AS SEEN FROM  
BACK OF CAMERA  
The General Purpose I/O port uses a Hirose HR10A-10R-12PB connector on the  
camera side. The mating cable connector is Hirose HR10A-10P-12S. This connector  
can be purchased from AVT Canada Inc. or from http://www.digikey.com. An open-  
ended cable assembly can also be ordered from AVT Canada Inc. (Part number 02-  
6033A).  
See Addendum for more detail.  
POWER GROUND  
This is the main ground of the camera circuitry and will be the return path for the  
external power source. This connection must be provided to operate the camera. The  
conductor used for this connection must be adequate for the current consumption of the  
camera. For best performance the connection for POWER GROUND should be  
physically close to the EXTERNAL POWER connection.  
GX1050 Technical Manual  
Page 11  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
EXTERNAL POWER  
This connection provides the main power for the camera. The camera operates from a  
DC voltage between 5V to 24V. The current capacity of the power supply can be  
estimated by dividing the cameras power requirement by the external power voltage. It  
is also recommended to factor this by about 50% as follows:  
Power supply current capacity = (power specification / external voltage) x 1.5  
The conductor used for this connection must be adequate for the current consumption  
of the camera. For best performance the connection for EXTERNAL POWER should be  
physically close to the POWER GROUND connection.  
SYNC INPUTS (1 and 2)  
The input signals allow the camera to be synchronized to some external event. These  
signals are optically isolated and require the signal common (USER GROUND). The  
camera can be programmed to trigger on the rising or falling edge of these signals. The  
camera can also be programmed to capture an image at some programmable delay  
time after the trigger event. These signals can be driven from 5V to 24V with a current  
load of 5mA.

RS-232 RXD and RS-232 TXD  
These signals are RS-232 compatible. These signals allow communication from the  
host system via the Ethernet port to a peripheral device connected to the camera.  
These signals are not optically isolated and reference power ground. If these signals  
are used in the system, care must be taken to prevent ground loop problems.  
USER GROUND  
This connection provides the user ground reference and return path for the isolated  
sync in and sync out signals. This connection is necessary if any of the isolated sync  
signals are to be used. It is also recommended that this ground connection be  
physically close to the used sync signals to prevent parasitic coupling. For example, a  
good cable design would connect the required signal on one conductor of a twisted pair  
and the isolated ground on the second conductor of the same twisted pair.  
USER VCC  
This connection provides the power supply for the isolated sync out signals. The  
voltage requirement is from 5V to 24V DC. The current requirement for this supply is a  
function of the optical isolator collector current and the number of sync outs used in the  
system. See the SYNC OUTPUT section for more detail. To prevent parasitic coupling this  
connection should be physically close to the used SYNC OUT signals and USER  
GROUND.

Cleaning the Sensor  
DO NOT CONTACT CLEAN SENSOR UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.  
Identifying Debris  
Debris on the image sensor or optical components will appear as a darkened area or  
smudge on the image that does not move as the camera is moved. Do not confuse this  
with a pixel defect which will appear as a distinct point.  
Locating Debris  
Before attempting to clean the image sensor, it is important to first determine that the  
problem is due to debris on the sensor window. To do this you should be viewing a  
uniform image, such as a piece of paper, with the camera. Debris will appear as a dark  
spot or dark region that does not move as the camera is moved. To determine that the  
debris is not on the camera lens, rotate the lens independent of the camera. If the spot  
moves as the lens moves, then the object is on the lens -not on the image sensor- and  
therefore cleaning is not required. If the camera has an IR filter, then rotate the IR filter.  
If the object moves then the particle is on the IR filter not the sensor. If this is the case  
remove the IR filter carefully using a small flat head screw driver. Clean both sides of  
the IR filter using the same techniques as explained below for the sensor window.  
DO NOT TOUCH ANY OPTICS WITH FINGERS. OIL FROM FINGERS CAN  
DAMAGE FRAGILE OPTICAL COATINGS.  
Cleaning with Air  
If it is determined that debris is on the sensor window, then remove the camera lens,  
and blow the sensor window directly with clean compressed air. If canned air is used,  
do not shake or tilt the can prior to blowing the sensor. View a live image with the  
camera after blowing. If the debris is still there, repeat this process. Repeat the  
process a number of times with increased intensity until it is determined that the  
particulate cannot be dislodged. If this is the case then proceed to the contact cleaning  
technique.  
Contact Cleaning  
Only use this method as a last resort. Use 99% laboratory quality isopropyl alcohol and  
clean cotton swabs. Dampen the swab in the alcohol and gently wipe the sensor in a  
single stroke. Do not reuse the same swab. Do not wipe the sensor if the sensor and  
swab are both dry. You must wipe the sensor quickly after immersion in the alcohol, or  
glue from the swab will contaminate the sensor window. Repeat this process until the  
debris is gone. If this process fails to remove the debris, then contact AVT Canada Inc.

Adjusting the C-mount  
THE C-MOUNT IS ADJUSTED AT THE FACTORY AND SHOULD NOT  
REQUIRE ADJUSTING.  
If for some reason, the C-mount requires adjustment, use the following method.  
Loosen Locking Ring  
Use an adjustable wrench to loosen locking ring. Be careful not to scratch the camera.  
When the locking ring is loose, unthread the ring a few turns from the camera face. A  
wrench suitable for this procedure can be provided by AVT Canada Inc. (P/N 11-  
0048A).  
Image to Infinity  
Use a c-mount compatible lens that allows an infinity focus. Set the lens to infinity and  
image a distant object. The distance required will depend on the lens used but typically  
30 to 50 feet should suffice. Make sure the lens is firmly threaded onto the c-mount  
ring. Rotate the lens and c-mount ring until the image is focused. Carefully tighten  
locking ring. Recheck focus.

Network Card Configuration  
Operating GigE Vision GX cameras using multiple network adaptors  
The GX series cameras offer two Gigabit Ethernet ports for image data transfer and control.  
Users can connect one or both ports on the GX to Ethernet adapter ports on a host computer.  
Connecting both ports will increase the available bandwidth to 240 MB/sec, allowing higher  
frame rates and resolutions than a single port connection.  
GX cameras can be operated in single port and dual port configurations. The dual port  
approach requires the host computer to configure a Link Aggregate Group (LAG). A LAG  
configuration combines multiple Ethernet ports into a single data channel.  
1. Install a dual port network card in the host computer. To achieve full camera  
performance, you should use a Gigabit Ethernet card that supports "Jumbo frames" of  
at least 9KB size.  
2. Once installed, open your Network Connections(Start -> Control Panel->Network  
Connections) and right-click on one of the two network connection corresponding to the  
card that was just installed.  
3. Select Propertiesfrom the contextual menu that  
appears when you right click the network  
connection icon. This will open the properties  
window.  
4. In the properties window, click the Configurebutton. Select the Advancedtab. In  
the Propertylist make the following changes:  
(a) select Jumbo Framesand change the value to 9014 bytes or higher.  
(b) select Receive Descriptorson the same list and change the value to 512  
(c) select "Performance Options" and set "Interrupt Moderate Rate" to "Extreme"

5. Click on OKto validate your change (the Propertieswindow will close). The  
Property list will be different between different types/brands of gigabit Ethernet interface  
cards. If "Jumbo Frames" does not appear in this list, then your card probably does not  
support it. If your card does not support Jumbo Frames, then your CPU usage will be  
higher.  
6. Re-open the "Properties" of the PRO/1000 GT adapter by right-clicking the Local Area  
Connection "Intel® PRO/1000 GT" network connection icon in the Network Connections  
window and select the "Advanced" tab at the top of the Properties dialog.  
7. In the "Windows Firewall" section, select "Settings". In the  
Settings dialog choose "Off" to turn off the Windows  
firewall. The camera will not work if the firewall is active. If  
you installed the AVT/Prosilica GigE filter driver, this step  
is not required.  
8. Perform Steps 1 8 for the other Ethernet adapter port that will be dedicated to the GX  
camera network.  
9. The next section will provide instructions for configuring the Link Aggregate Group  
(LAG) to combine the two ports dedicated to the GX network.  
Open your Network Connections(Start -> Control Panel->Network Connections) and  
right-click on one of the two network connection corresponding to the card that was just  
installed. Select Propertiesfrom the contextual menu that appears when you right  
click the network connection icon. This will open the properties window. In the  
properties window, click on Configurebutton in order to create a Link Aggregate  
Group (LAG) between the two ports.  
10.Select the Teamingtab (analogous to LAG), enable  
Team this adapter with other adapters and click on  
the New Teambutton.  
11.Specify a name for the Team (Link Aggregate Group).  
This should be something that will distinguish this

Trouble Shooting  
Is the camera getting power?  
The Green LED is the camera power indicator. If unlit, check the power adaptor. If  
possible, swap with one that is known to work. If using a custom power adaptor, be sure  
the adaptor supports the voltage and power requirements of the camera . If the LED still  
does not light up, contact AVT Canada Inc. support.  
Is the camera powered, but not detected in SampleViewer?  
Damaged or poor quality Ethernet cabling can result in no cameras found, dropped  
packets, decreased bandwidth, and other problems. Use Cat5e or better cabling known  
to work.  
Configure your NIC as outlined in Gigabit Ethernet Setup For Windows. It should have  
an IP address of 169.254.x.x, Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0. This is the AutoIP address  
range. If your NIC has no access to a DHCP server, the camera will still be auto  
assigned an IP address. There should be no gateway on your NIC.  
Connect a single camera directly to your NIC, no hub/switch, and run the prosilica IP

Notes on Triggering  
Definitions  
o User Trigger is the trigger signal applied by the user.  
o Logic Trigger is the trigger signal seen by the camera internal logic.  
o Tpd is the propagation delay between the User Trigger and the Logic Trigger.  
o Exposure is high when the camera image sensor is integrating light.  
o Readout is high when the camera image sensor is reading out data.  
o Trigger Latency is the time delay between the User Trigger and the start of  
Exposure.  
o Trigger Jitter is the error in the Trigger Latency time.  
o Trigger Ready indicates to the user that the camera will accept the next trigger.  
o Registered Exposure Time is the Exposure Time value currently stored in the  
camera memory.  
o Expose Start Delay is the delay time from the start of Exposure to valid Trigger  
Ready. It is the Registered Exposure Time subtracted from the Readout time and  
indicates when the next Exposure cycle can begin such that the Exposure will end  
after the current Readout.  
o Interline Time is the time between sensor row readout cycles.  
o Imaging is high when the camera image sensor is either exposing and/or reading out  
data.  
o Idle is high if the camera image sensor is not exposing and/or reading out data.  
Rules  
o The User Trigger pulse width should be at least three times the width of the Trigger  
Latency as indicated in the Specifications section of this document.  
o The end of Exposure will always trigger the next Readout.  
o The end of Exposure must always end after the current Readout.  
o The start of Exposure must always correspond with the Interline Time if Readout is  
true.  
o Expose Start Delay equals the Readout time minus the Registered Exposure Time.  
Triggering during the Idle State  
o For applications requiring the shortest possible Trigger Latency and the smallest  
possible Trigger Jitter the User Trigger signal should be applied when Imaging is  
false and Idle is true.  
o In this case, Trigger Latency and Trigger Jitter are as indicated in the Specifications  
section.  
GX1050 Technical Manual

Triggering during the Readout State  
o For applications requiring the fastest triggering cycle time whereby the camera  
image sensor is exposing and reading out simultaneously, then the User Trigger  
signal should be applied as soon as a valid Trigger Ready is detected.  
o In this case, Trigger Latency and Trigger Jitter can be up to 1 line time since  
Exposure must always begin on an Interline boundary.
