INFO CENTER

The length of the cable depends on the pixel clock on the camera.
Please refer the following table, and note that the it may vary depending on cable’s specification and used environment.

What is PoCL-Lite, and is there a board that supports this specification?PoCL Lite is a specification that limits the output bit to Mono 8, 10 bits, leaving a power supply function (PoCL) through a camera link cable.Smaller cable diameters increase flexibility, and the ability to miniaturize camera link connectors has the advantage of making the camera even smaller.

Models that support PoCL Lite have APX-3324A, support PoCL Lite from firmware version 1.8 or higher, and can connect up to four.

• APX-3302, APX-3324A
  In case of Base Configuration, Up to 4W is supplied to the camera.
• APX-3323, APX-3326A
  In case of Base Configuration, Up to 4W is supplied to the camera.

  In case of Medium/Full/Deca configuration, up to 8W is supplied to the camera with the condition described below. (NOTE : The boards can supply up to 4 watts of power per CL connector as of PoCL standards.)

  Therefore, if you are using a camera exceeding 4 watts of power consumption with Medium or Full or Deca Configuration, you should check if the power is supplied with 2 connectors (Base and Medium/Full/Deca)

  Supplying more than 4 watts of power from the connecor may cause failure**.**

Connecting is possible, but if using a normal camera, power the camera before powering the PC.

This can cause camera damage or PC instability.

※ If you are using a camera that does not support PoCL, it is recommended to disable the PoCL function.

For CL Frame Grabbers that support multi-channel, you can connect the PoCL camera and the regular camera to the board together.

Instead, the channel that connects the PoCL camera must change the jumper settings on the board. For jumper settings, see the question “[PoCL camera] Do I need any settings when using PoCL?”.

• When windows starts, the PoCL camera automatically powers up. If you detach the camera link cable while running Windows, it will not power on automatically.

  To turn the power back on, user can choose one of the followings .

  1. Use the AcapSetInfo function.

     AcapSetInfo (hDevice, CAM_CH, ACL_POWER_SUPPLY, 3000, 1);

  2. Via AIP Tool

     Find the PoCL botton on top menu bar, and click it to power up via PoCL

When selecting a PC to use Frame Grabber, PCI-Express spec check is highly recommended.
If this specification does not meet the system bus specification of the Frame Grabber, the problem can occur, for example, the frame grabber is not recognized or 100% performance is not performed.
Please check the specification of System BUS (typically PCIE) on the board and select a PC with a slot that meets the requirements.
※ For your information, if the board is installed in the PCI Express x16 slot exclusively for graphics cards, it may not work properly, so please select a PC that has more than the required number of slots except that slot.
If you connect the frame grabber to x16 port designed for a graphic card, it may not work properly.
To maximize the performance of the graphics card, the main board manufacturer may have it assigned to graphics card usage only, and it is not clear.
So, the slot for the graphics card-only is not highly recommended to use with the frame grabber.

Chatter time is the time that an external trigger can hold the waveform.

Since the external trigger operates in a falling edge, the point at which the trigger pulse transitions from high to low , holding high and holding low must remain at least the set Chatter time. If each state is maintained for a time set to Chatter Time, it is recognized as an external trigger.

Setting Delay time allows you to recognize the trigger signal after it is recognized as an external trigger in the above state and is delayed by the set Delay time.

In addition, if an external signal, such as noise, is detected during the low state of the trigger pulse, it remains low as Chatter Time, and then it is recognized as a trig.

Unable to select.

The detection edge is only available with the Falling Edge.

It is trigger signal generated by external source and input to the frame grabber normally.

External triggers are mainly used to control the start of image acquisition or encoder operation.

※Please be careful to use when using TTL signal because operation may be affected by noise easily.

GPOUT has three functions.

• APX-3324A, APX-3326A, APX-3323
  1. Strove output Outputs a strobe signal. You can use GPOUT as the strobe output by setting the AcapSetStrobfunction ACL_STROBE_EN to “Use strobe output”. With this setting, capture plugs and general output are not available.
  2. Print capture flag Available when storbe output is invalid. Set ACL_GPOUT_SEL to 0. The capture flag is a signal that is low during image input and high during stop. When entering the image, internally Y-sized calculations are displayed and refers to the signal below.

     

       — Input start —
     

  3. Universal output Available when strobe output is invalid. Set ACL_GPOUT_SEL to 1. Randomly determine the signal status of ACL_GPOUT_POL. Low condition when ACL_GPOUT_POL is 0, High condition when ACL_GPOUT_POL is 1.

If the board is not recognized, make sure that the following points are not relevant.

1. Check if mainboard BIOS is the latest version. Download and install the latest version of BIOS from the manufacturer’s website. (※ There are cases where the board was not recognized by the mainboard below, but was resolved after updating the BIOS to the latest version.
   -Richo : FB15 -Gigabyte : GA-EX58-UD5, GA-EX58-UD3R
2. Update the chip set (graphic card) driver to the latest version.
3. Update drivers for that board to the latest version Contains drivers for bards in SDK
4. Check if 3G option is present.
5. Install and run programs with administrator authority.
6. Check if board is recognized by mounting in another PCI Express slot.
7. Check if your PC recognizes the board when you replace it with another board.
8. Check that the Plug & Play item is set to ON in the BIOS settings
9. If you are using a separate graphics card in your PC, disconnect the graphics card and see if the board is recognized.
10. Check if you are using a PC with Intel® Xeon® Processor E5 v2 Product Family or higher (in this case, upgrade the firmware on the board to the latest version.)
11. Check that the Detect Non-Compliance Device item is disabled in the BIOS settings.

Payload means the data transmitted in use, and typically the payload when using Frame Grabber means the packet size of the data sent and received via PCI Express. Large payloads increase the amount of data transmitted per hour, and the maximum value of the payload depends on your PC(chip set). Also, since the amount of data that can be transmitted depends on payload (although it depends on the camera specifications), 256Kbyte payload may be required to receive the Max. frame of the CL Full camera without data loss.

The Max. size of the payload can be found in the Device Manager.

Under [Aip] – [APX 3***(Image Capture Module), select “Properties” – “Status tab”.

Please check the value displayed in ” Maximum payload size”(within the red border below).

It means the abbreviation of Power Over CameraLink, and this stands for powering the camera with a camera link cable.

For cameras that support PoCL, the PoCL-only camera link cable is required, and no power supply is required through the power cable.

※ Caution : Use either PoCL or external power.

If this specification does not meet the system bus specification of the frame grabber,

you may encounter problems such as frame grabber is not recognized or not performing 100%.

Please check the specifications of System BUS (typically PCIE) on the board in the figure below and select a PC with slots that meet the specification.

※ Note that if a board is fitted to a PCI Express x16 slot exclusively for graphic cards, it may not work as expected,
so please select a PC that has more than the required number of slots except that slot.

If you connect a frame grabber to an x16 lane port specified as a graphic card on the main board of a typical PC, it might not work properly.

To maximize the performance of the graphic card, each main board manufacturer may have adjusted it for graphic card only,
and because its specifications are not clear, the graphic card-only slot is excluded from the frame grabber operation guarantee.

Please refer to the table below for each model specification.

Sensors in a typcal bayer camera have R,G,B filters placed in a constant pattern, which is called a Bayer Pattern.

[Bayer Pattern]

The Raw data that is output without a Bayer conversion appears in the Bayer Patterns. Therefore, the image shows a check pattern or a different luminance value above and below. In addition, sometimes Go board patterns appear depending on the display scale.

More information about the Bayer camera can be found on the linked page below.

The bayer camera outputs black and white image data called Raw data. To convert this data to color, a Bayer conversion work is required.

If you’re shooting with a bayer camera and the image is black and white, please check whether the Bayer conversion has been made.

More information about the Bayer camera can be found on the linked page below.

If the camera is operating in a free-run mode, the CC1 signal is ignored.

Therefore, set the camera’s setting to start the exposure mode when detecting Rising or Falling edge of CC1. (ex. trigger mode)

Please contact the camera manufacturer because the camera settings may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.

Click here to find out more about how to set up the board for the camera connection.

If the camera is acting as a free-run, the Exposure time set on the board is not applied. To run with the Exposure time set on the board, please set the camera’s setting to Exposure Time Mode. The name of the Exposure Time Mode may vary from camera to camera, so please contact the camera manufacturer for information regarding camera setup.

Click here to find out more about how to set up the board for camera connection.

Exposure indicates the output width of the CC1 signal that the board outputs to the camera, and cycle indicates the output cycle.

You can change the output signal setting from CC2 to CC4.

For APX-3662, the exposure signal cannot be selected because it uses real-time triggers.

The relationship of the set values is as follows.

Make sure to set the Exposure < Cycle.

The camera with external synchronisation uses the CC1 signal as an exposure signal.

Check the operating mode of each camera for how the camera is operated by the CC! signal and adjust the Exposure, Cycle and Trigger mode(Falling edge/Rising edge) to match the setting.

For more information on CC signals, please refer to the linked page.

If the following pop-up window is displayed after the shoot, it means a timeout has occurred.

Timeouts occur when you execute the take command on the board but the take is not working properly. Timeouts may occur in the following cases:

• Camera’s output size < Board’s input size

  → Change the input size of the board by checking the camera’s output size.

• Timeout setup time is short.

  →Set the timeout setting time to be longer than the 1 frame filming time.

• You have set it to an external trigger (TTL, RS22) but have not entered an external trigger.

  → Enter the external trigger or disable the setting.

• The camera is in exposure control mode, but no exposure signal has been output from the board.

  → On the board, set Cycle and Exposure to non-zero values.

  → Check the Exposure Polarity of the board.

• Encoder usage status is set, but encoder signal is not entered.

  → Enter encoder signal or disable encoder usage setting.

  → If you are setting up an external trigger fo the encoder, enter or disable the external trigger setting.

  → Make sure that the rotation direction(CW, CCW) of the encoder mathces the board settings.

Depending on the hardware specification, there is a size limit.

Therefore, you might not be able to film all the valid pixels of the camera.

※ For more information on X size, refer to “ACL_X_SIZE” in “SDK-AcapLib2 Library Manual (J2OM080156*) pdf”.

We can provide the initial file by mailing you used on another board, or by giving you the model name of the camera you are connected to.

ini file is the setting file containing specific setting on its parameter. When you load the ini file, the settings are set to the certain values of the camera saved in ini file which is provided from the SDK. When editing the ini file’s settings, please be careful not to enter the value not allowed in system.

Quick Start is not supported. When using WIN10, please disable the Quick Start function.

Windows Store App is not supported.

Possibly an area where the front buffer of the DMA registered is invalid.

Also, the leading address of the buffer needs to be in a 16Byte array.

In the following situations, the AcapSetBufferAddress function is an error and the AcapGetLastErrorCode function contains 0xF107(Initialization Failure).

• When the address of the buffer in front of the DMA is NULL.
• The size of the DMA buffer and the input size set in the ini file do not match.
• The processing bit setting and the size of the buffer in front of the DMA do not match.

  <8bit > _aligned_malloc (x * y * sizeof (char), 16);

  <10 · 12bit> _aligned_malloc (x * y * sizeof (short), 16);

  <24 · 32bit> _aligned_malloc (x * y * sizeof (long) 16);

If you have not registered your license, each time you run SDK, a license registration pop-up window appears, as shown below. You can press OK to enter the SDK usage UI, and you can test all the features of SDK without having to enter a license key.(But, the corresponding pop-up will continue to pop up everytime you use it.)

To remove the above pop-up window, you must purchase the SDK for the first time and register your license.

To register, please purchase the license and click the Windows button to register the purchased license by clicking AvdRegistTool in the AVALDATA SDK program folder as shown below.

(※Run registration as administrator.)

You only need to purchase the license once for user registration. No separate runtime license is required.
