USB3 Vision cameras and GigE Vision cameras are GenICam standard cameras.
GenICam standard based “Sentech SDK”, “StViewer” of Sentech SDK can use USB3 Vision cameras and GigE Vision cameras.
Please follow below steps:
1. Selects “Start Recording” under “File” on menu.
2. Please specifies below settings, sets file name after select “Add” then select “OK”.
3. Please check movie file is making after acquire image.
File Format | AVI1 → Maximum file size: 2GB AVI2 → Maximum file size: 1TB |
Compression | Motion JPEG Uncompressed |
Quality Value | Quality setting for Motion JPEG (100 is best quality) |
Reserve Y | Vertical flip image |
Frame Rate | Frame rate setting for play movie |
Maximum Frame Count Per File | Maximum Frame Count Per File |
Please refers settings for time unit.
Example: 5 minutes movie with 30 fps image
File Format | AVI1 |
Compression | MPEG |
Quality Value | 50 |
Reserve Y | False |
Frame Rate | 30 |
Maximum Frame Count Per File | 9,000 |
Time of movie calculates by “Maximum Frame Count Per File / Frame Rate”.
Please follow below step:
Camera name:
Checks “DeviceDisplayName” under “DeviceInforamtion” under “LocalDevice”.
Device version (firmware version):
Checks “DeviceVersion” under “DeviceInformation” under “LocalDevice”.
* GigE Vision camera includes FPGA verison.
The camera has two exposure modes
OFF: Exposure time is “1 / frame rate setting (second)”, which is longest exposure time to maintain set frame rate.
The exposure time is changed based on frame rate.
Timed: Exposure time specifies by exposure time setting.
Please uses “Timed” exposure mode to specify exposure time manually.
The exposure time can be set by below step.
Exposure time sets manually:
1. Selects “Timed” at “ExposureMode” under “AcquisitionControl” under “RemoteDevice”.
2. Sets exposure time at “ExposureTime” under AcquisitionControl” under “RemoteDevice”.
Exposure time specifies by frame rate (exposure time is “1 / frame rate (second)”):
1. Selects “OFF” at “ExposureMode” under “AcquisitionControl” under “RemoteDevice”.
It is possible to not increase frame rate depending on frame rate setting or exposure time setting.
The exposure time setting has to be set less than “1 / frame rate setting” (second).
Please check below settings to increase frame rata.
1. It is necessary to do NOT acquire image.
2. Sets target frame rate at “AcquisitionFrameRate” under “AcquisitionControl” under “RemoteDevice”
3. Selects “OFF” at “ExposureAuto” under “AcquisitionControl” under “RemoteDevice” to disabled auto exposure function.
Selects “OFF” or “Timed” at “ExposureMode” under “AcquisitionControl” under “RemoteDevice”
Sets exposure time that is less than “1 / framer rate setting” at “ExposureTime” under “AcquisitionControl” under “RemoteDevice” when selecting “Timed”.
4. Please check frame rate after acquiring image.
The frame rate and image transferring speed are displaying at lower right of StViewer.
Frame rate: XXX[fps]
Image transferring speed: XXX[Mbps]
Please enabled “Status bar” display by below steps when frame rate and image transferring speed do not display at lower right of StViewer.
1. Selects “View” at upper left of StViewer.
2. Selects “Status Bar”.
Please acquires image with viewing software of SDK, to make sure camera and environment do not have issue to acquire image.
The SDK based program has some issue, once confirmed camera and environment do not have issue with viewing software of SDK.
Please contact technical support with referenced sample program name, details of issue and error information.
The camera settings can save onto with UserSet function.
Please follow below procedure for UserSet function.
1. Select “UserSet1” at “UserSetSelector” under “RemoteDevice” – “UserSetControl”.
2. Select “Execute” button at “UserSetSave” then current camera settings save onto UserSet1.
When select “UserSet1” at “UserSetDefault” under “RemoteDevice” – “UserSetControl” then camera starts with camera settings on UserSet1.
The camera settings can save onto with UserSet function.
Please follow below procedure for UserSet function.
1. Select “UserSet1” at “UserSetSelector” under “RemoteDevice” – “UserSetControl”.
2. Select “Execute” button at “UserSetSave” then current camera settings save onto UserSet1.
When select “UserSet1” at “UserSetDefault” under “RemoteDevice” – “UserSetControl” then camera starts with camera settings on UserSet1.
PersistentIPAddress is fixed IP address on eBusPlayer.
Please follow below procedure to set fixed IP address.
1.Set “TRUE” at “GevCurrentIPConfigurationPersistentIP” under “RemoteDevice” – “TransportLayerControl” to enable “fixed IP address”. (Fixed IP address is disable with default setting”)
2. Set fixed IP address to “GevPersistentIP” under “RemoteDevice” – “TransportLayerControl”.
3. Set fixed subnet mask to “GevPersistentSubnetMask” under “RemoteDevice” – “TransportLayerControl”.
