Start up Start up A Gigabit Ethernet port (1000Base-T) on the receiving computer is necessary. 1. Connect the camera with the appropriate data cable to the computer. 2. Plug the 15-pin connector of the power supply to the camera and switch on the power supply. Camera control commands To configure the internal image processing a serial command interface is provided.
Start up Serial communication operates in echo mode by default. This means that each character received by the module is echoed back to the sender. In all command examples the characters sent to the camera are represented in Bold Courier Font and the camera’s answer in Plain Courier Font.
Start up but no hardware handshake. Thus a sequence of commands should not be send to the camera without awaiting the intermediate input prompts. Otherwise the camera’s serial input buffer may overflow. Adjust the image processing Subsequently the important commands for quick starting the image correction of the Pearleye P-007 LWIR / Pearleye P-030 LWIR are mentioned. All further parameters and a description of the correction modules can be found in Chapter Image processing on page 31.
Camera interfaces Camera interfaces This chapter gives you information on the control junction, inputs and outputs and trigger features. www For accessories like cables see: http://www.alliedvisiontec.com/emea/products/ accessories/gige-accessories.html Pearleye Technical Manual V2.0.
Camera interfaces Control connector Camera I/O connector pin assignment (15-pin D-Sub jack) This jack is intended for the power supply as well as for controlling the camera via its serial RS232 interface over a COM port. Furthermore some output signals are available, showing the camera state. Pearleye P-007 LWIR / Pearleye P-030 LWIR Pin Signal 1 2 3 4 Direction Level External Power Description +12 V DC (-0% / +5%) Power supply max. 1.
Camera interfaces Power supply (Pin 1-4) The camera requires 12 V +5% DC and maximum 1.5 A. The voltage should not fall below 12.0 V and should not exceed 12.6 V. It is recommended to use respectively both pins (1+2, 3+4) for power supply. Serial interface (Pin 7, 8) By use of the serial interface at pin 7 and 8 the camera can be controlled externally via a RS232 COM Port. A simple terminal program (e.g. HyperTerminal) is sufficient for manually controlling the camera.
Camera interfaces Figure 5: Trigger input diagram The current (1) which flows through the optocoupler and the integrated dropping resistor should be > 5 mA and should not exceed 20 mA. Pearleye P-007 LWIR For continuous periodical trigger the pulse must be at least 100μs in length and the periodic time exact 24.96ms ±10μs. Pearleye P-030 LWIR For continuous periodical trigger the pulse must be at least 82μs in length and the periodic time exact 41.608ms ±20μs.
Camera interfaces An indication of sensor temperature being too low results in a degradation of image quality and inexact temperature measurement. In case that this control output will not become inactive after some minutes of operation the ambient air temperature of the camera might be too low. A heat up of the camera temperature above approx. 15°C should resolve this. Sensor temperature too high (Pin 14) Voltage Logical Level Description ≤ 0.8 V low Sensor temperature too high > 4.
Camera interfaces Pearleye P-007 LWIR Pearleye P-030 LWIR The frame-sync output (active low) supplies approx. 900 mV at a termination with 75 . Conversion of image data to temperature data Due to the internal LUT, the pixel information can be converted to a corresponding temperature value. For the Pearleye P-007 LWIR the following relation can be used: T = r x DN + o with: DN: 12-bit digital value (pixel data) T: Temperature value [°C] r: Resolution (for Pearleye P-007 LWIR standard version: 0.
Camera interfaces r: Resolution (for Pearleye P-030 LWIR standard version: 0.0075°C) o: offset for DN=0 (for Pearleye P-030 LWIR standard version: -30°C) The following diagram shows the result: Figure 10: Conversion of image data to temperature data: Pearleye P-030 LWIR Consideration of the emission ratio Every material has its own emissivity value for IR, so the measured value is not equal to the real temperature. The best result can be reached with materials that have emissivity ratio near to 1.
Camera interfaces Note • • Normally the background temperature can be assumed to be equal to the environmental temperature. The emission grades of many different materials can be found on various internet sources. Pearleye Technical Manual V2.0.
Camera interfaces GigE interface The Pearleye P-007 LWIR / Pearleye P-030 LWIR cameras are equipped with a 1000Base-T Ethernet interface (RJ-45 connector). The data connection between camera and PC can be established via a standard CAT5e patch cable. Note For more information see the Pleora iPORT PT1000-VB Documentation.
Image processing Image processing This chapter explains the function of the Pearleye P-007 LWIR / Pearleye P-030 LWIR firmware. It is related to the individual modules of image processing and shows in what way the user can control these modules via the serial interface.
Image processing The main correction modules are in detail: • Two-point correction • Background correction • Bad pixel correction • Drift compensation • Look-up table (LUT) Two-point correction With help of the two-point correction (likewise gain offset correction) the normally distinctive underground structure of the microbolometer sensor can be equalized.
Image processing Correction data Ex factory camera specific correction data for each correction module are determined and stored in the camera so that an optimum image quality is available at the Gigabit Ethernet interface. A PC with a Gigabit Ethernet interface can transmit the temperature data directly to the main memory or rather to the display.
Image processing Note For more information see Chapter Upload a file to flash (Q) on page 57. Short introduction: Two-point correction (A, B, E, J, K, N) The two-point correction is the most elaborate correction module of the Pearleye P-007 LWIR / Pearleye P-030 LWIR camera models. For this reason initially a general survey of the two-point correction functioning shall be given. Note For more information see Chapter Basic parameters and commands on page 36.
Image processing Figure 13: Two-point correction The reference images are stored in several files within the flash and are directly transferred into the correction memory following the camera start-up. The parameter A indicates the file number of the correction image at low reference temperature TA. The parameter B serves the same purpose for the reference image at temperature TB.
Basic parameters and commands Basic parameters and commands This chapter illustrates the basic configuration options and general commands available for the user, being important for the operation of an ex factory preconfigured camera. Most probably the information stated here will be sufficient for most of the users. Note For more information see Chapter Advanced parameters and commands on page 43.

(k= command) Table 13: GigE feature: AutoCalibrationInterval Electromechanical shutter (I) The Pearleye P-007 LWIR / Pearleye P-030 LWIR models are equipped with an electromechanical shutter that can be controlled with the command I.
Basic parameters and commands Note For information about the starting procedure see Warm-up period on page 10. The camera is equipped with an internal temperature sensor. The temperature can be displayed using the command T=2. The temperature is output as 16 bits value. The 4 most significant bits contain information about the temperature sensing state. The remaining 12 bits contain two’s complement of 1/16 degrees Celsius.
Basic parameters and commands Current parameter settings (Y) The command Y=1 shows the actual set parameter values. Note This function is not available as GigE Vision feature. Show help text (?) The command ?=1 shows a command reference text at the serial terminal. It lists a short description for each command available in the firmware. Note This function is not available as GigE Vision feature. Note Not every command is useful with the Pearleye P-007 LWIR / Pearleye P-030 LWIR cameras.
Advanced parameters and commands Advanced parameters and commands This chapter is to illuminate the advanced configuration of the Pearleye P-007 LWIR / Pearleye P-030 LWIR models. For the control of an ex-factory set up camera the intervention within the parameters stated here or rather the use of the mentioned commands is only necessary in exceptional cases.
Advanced parameters and commands Value Description 3 Deactivated Test mode: Correction data B are output as image data. (*) 4 One-point correction: Simple subtraction of the correction data A from the input data. In addition the set value J is added as offset to each pixel value. 5 One point correction: Simple subtraction of the correction data B from the input data. In addition the set value K is added as offset to each pixel value.
Advanced parameters and commands Note For more information of command X=1 see Chapter Save parameters in flash (X) on page 57. Example Loading of correction data at low reference temperature into the active correction memory page of file number 0x20. >A=20[CR] The set values for both reference images A and B are adjusted with the parameters J and K. For each correction data set two registers are available which include the corresponding set value.

Advanced parameters and commands Background correction (U, M) The module background correction is closely related to the module integrator / image store at the beginning of the processing chain (H). It also comprehends an image integration function. But additionally it can subtract its current correction data image (H/U) from the incoming image and add the offset M. Thus a fixed pattern noise reduction or difference image calculation is possible.

Data is passed through transparently. 1 Output: activated. Apply the current correction image (H/U) and offset value M. 2 Output: activated. Output of current correction image (H/U). 0 Integration: deactivated.
Advanced parameters and commands The parameter M defines the offset value that is added to every pixel if the background correction is activated. By default, M is automatically set to the mean value of the background image, provided that the background image acquisition is done with the automatic calibration function (k). In this way it is possible to preserve the constant component of the image irrespective of the background correction’s activation state.
Advanced parameters and commands Bad pixel correction (C, F) The configuration of the bad pixel correction is executed ex factory, like this normally no access on behalf of the user becomes necessary. The bad pixel correction applies up to six non false neighbour pixels, in order to determine an interpolated value from the neighbour ship. At the position of the defective pixel an interpolated value in exchange of the bad pixel value is output.
Advanced parameters and commands GigE Vision feature name Description BPC_OperationMode Operation mode of the bad pixel correction. (F= command) BPC_CorrectionData_FileNumber File number of the correction data for the bad pixel correction. (C= command) Table 24: Camera special feature: BadPixelCorrection Temperature drift compensation (m, n, o, p) The output data of a microbolometer system is highly affected by the temperature of the camera.
Advanced parameters and commands Note This function is currently not available as GigE Vision feature. Look-up table (LUT) (D, G) The temperature data of the microbolometer sensor is generally non- linear. By means of the LUT there is the opportunity to linearize the data that have already been pre-corrected by two-point, background and bad pixel correction, resulting in more exact temperature values. The LUT is implemented as 12-bit LUT. The operation mode of the LUT is controlled with parameter G.
Advanced parameters and commands GigE Vision feature name Description LUT_OperationMode Operation mode of the LUT. (G= command) LUT_CorrectionData_FileNumber File number of the data for the LUT. (D= command) Table 27: Camera special feature: LUT Integrator and image store (H) The integrator / image store (integrator) module is internally applied for the automatic selection of the correction set (k=) and the recording of new temporary reference image data (A=FF, B=FF).

Advanced parameters and commands Save parameters in flash (X) By means of the command X=1 all parameter values are stored into a system file within the flash memory. After a re-start they are automatically restored. However, neither new recorded correction images, nor modified set values (J and K for all valid S) are stored and will therefore be lost after the camera is switched off. GigE Vision feature name Description SaveParameterToCameraFlash Saves the parameters into internal camera flash memory.
Advanced parameters and commands Caution Note The commands d= and Q= do not need additional confirmation. Files below ID 0xF0 are not write-protected and thus are modified or deleted without warning. For more details see Chapter Command reference on page 60. Note The upload via the inband Device Port Serial 0 can take a lot of time (only some thousand bytes/minute). For bigger files we recommend to use the external RS232 port or the inband Device Port Bulk 0.
Advanced parameters and commands Part Description [PAUSE] To prevent an overflow of the input buffer a pause of at least one second has to be maintained at this point. The file system needs time to open the file and delete the data of an eventually existing file. Ddddddd… n+1 data bytes in ASCII hexadecimal representation (two characters 0…9,A…F per byte) Table 33: The Q= command: parts If an error occurs during transmission, the operation will instantly be aborted.
Appendix Appendix Command reference This chapter describes the general command reference of the Pearleye P-007 LWIR / Pearleye P-030 LWIR firmware. It can be output to the camera’s serial interface by sending the command ?=1. Note This firmware is used in other camera models as well. Thus not all commands and parameters mentioned in this reference are useful in conjunction with the Pearleye P-007 LWIR / Pearleye P-030 LWIR.
Appendix At the beginning of a command sequence it is good practice to check the serial communication by sending just a [CR] to the camera and verify that the command prompt ">" is returned. There is an input buffer holding a few characters but no hardware handshake. Thus a sequence of commands should not be send to the camera without awaiting the intermediate input prompts. Otherwise the camera’s serial input buffer may overflow.

Appendix correction. Changing this parameter or the contents of the specified files may void ex factory calibration. 0 : No loading of any correction image.

Appendix shares its memory with the background correction (U=). This means that a new captured image with the command H= overwrites the current image of the background correction. The difference between H= and U= is the position in the image processing chain: H integrates and outputs data always at the beginning of the chain, which is uncorrected camera raw data. U operates behind the two point correction and thus integrates the data output of the two point correction (see E=).
