Some version of Sentech SDK does not recognize some GigE Vision M series camera.
Please use latest version of Sentech SDK/StViewer.
IP address of camera does not change because IP address does not save into UserSet.
When changing IP address of camera, changed IP address save into memory on camera automatically.
“StGigEPlayer” and “eBus Player” do not support GigE Vision M series camera.
Please use “StViewer” that included in Sentech SDK or GigE Vision supported software.
The drawing function can be use with v1.1.1 or later version of StViewer.
*v1.0.8 or older version of StViewer does not support drawing function.
The drawing menu is display when selecting “Drawing” under “Tools and Docking Windows” under “View” on menu of StViewer.
Sets “True” at “Enable Drawing On Saving Image” under “Drawing Tool” under “ImageDisplayWnd”.
The image with drawing data can be save when image saving by selecting “PreviewImage” after right click on preview image.
The image with drawing data cannot be save when image saving by using file menu or save botton on tool bar on StViewer, and movie file.
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”.
