Goldeye Technical Manual V2.4.0

In the Goldeye P-variants the CC1 signal is directly controlled using GigE Vision

features located in the AcquisitionControl branch of the feature tree.

High-speed mode (CC2) Goldeye xy-008 only

If CC2 is logically 1, the camera works with a resolution of 320 x 256 pixels at

118 fps.

If CC2 is logically 0, the camera works with a reduced resolution of 320 x 160

pixels at 186 fps.

In both cases DVAL is set to 1 for one Camera Link clock cycle in each pixel cycle

of two clocks.

The DVAL signal has to be evaluated by the frame grabber, otherwise the effec-

tive resolution is 640 x 256 pixels or rather 640 x 160 (each pixel is horizontally

output for two times) independent of the CC2 state.

Feature Description

AcquisitionMode This feature controls the acquisition mode of the software. This

feature works independently (!) of the chosen camera mode

(Continuous, IOD hardware trigger, IOD hardware timer). It

describes how many frames should be acquired.

AcquisitionStart Starts the image acquisition of the camera.

AcquisitionStop Stops the image acquisition of the camera.

TriggerMode Modifies the trigger mode of the camera. When the trigger mode

is Off, the camera will generate frames independently. When the

trigger mode is On the camera is switched to the so called IOD

(Image On Demand) mode. In this mode the camera waits for an

external trigger signal or timer pulse generated by the internal

GigE interface. To control exposure and dark time trigger mode

must be switched to On.

ExposureMode Start or stop the internal exposure signal timer.

ExposureTime Sets the Exposure time (in microseconds).

ExposureTimeAbs Sets the Exposure time (in microseconds).

ExposureTimeGranularity Exposure time granularity.

ExposureTimeAbsMs Sets the Exposure time (in milliseconds).

DarkTime Sets the Dark time (in microseconds).

DarkTimeAbs Sets the Dark time (in microseconds).

DarkTimeGranularity Dark time granularity.

DarkTimeAbsMs Sets the Dark time (in milliseconds).
