Application Development Overview Sapera LT Library with optional Processing Sapera LT is a powerful development library for image acquisition and control. Sapera LT provides a single API across current and future DALSA hardware. Sapera LT delivers a comprehensive feature set including program portability, versatile camera controls, flexible display functionality and management, plus easy to use application development wizards.
GigE Vision Compliant Environment The GigE Vision Compliant XML device description file is embedded within Genie firmware allowing GigE Vision Compliant applications to know Genie capabilities immediately after connection.
Installing the Genie Camera Warning! (Grounding Instructions) Static electricity can damage electronic components. Please discharge any static electrical charge by touching a grounded surface, such as the metal computer chassis, before performing any hardware installation. If you do not feel comfortable performing the installation, please consult a qualified technician.
Installation Overview & Preparations The Genie camera installation generally follows the sequence described below. Detailed installation instructions follow this overview. This section also provides important information to prevent operational faults due to ESD (electrostatic discharge) in Genie installations. Network and Computer Overview Genie needs to connect to a computer with a GigE network adapter, either built in on the computer motherboard or installed as a third party PCI adapter.
Installation Overview Before connecting power to the camera, test all power supplies. Power supplies must meet the requirements defined in section "Genie Signal Electrical Details" on page 109. Apply power to the camera. Connect Genie to the computer GigE network adapter or to the Ethernet switch via a CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cable. Note: cable should not be less than 1 meter (3 feet) long or more than 100 meters (328 feet) long.
Sapera LT Library Installation Note: to install Sapera LT and the Genie device driver, logon to the workstation as an administrator or with an account that has administrator privileges. When Sapera application development is performed on the same computer that the Genie is connected to, the Sapera Development Library (version 6.20 or later) must be installed. Else, Sapera LT is not required to control the Genie camera. Insert the DALSA Sapera CD-ROM.
Genie CD Package Installation The Genie Framework software package and Sapera runtime provides all components required to control the Genie with the supplied CamExpert tool. Genie Framework software components include the Network Imaging driver (refer to the DALSA Network Imaging package manual), the Sapera GigE server, and CamExpert (if Sapera LT library is not installed). Note: If Sapera application development is required, install Sapera (6.20 or later) as described in the previous section.
Connect the Genie Camera Connect a power supply to the Genie camera and an Ethernet cable from the Genie to the host computer. Once communication with the host computer is started the automatic IP configuration sequence will assign an LLA IP address as described in section "Genie IP Configuration Sequence" on page 26, or a DHCP IP address if a DHCP server is present on your network. Note that the DALSA Network Configuration tool can enable the DALSA smart DHCP server.
Status LED Codes The camera is equipped with a LED to display the operational status of the camera. When more than one condition is active, the LED color indicates the condition with the highest priority (such as an acquisition in progress has more priority than a valid IP address assignment). The following table summarizes the LED states and corresponding camera status.
Genie IP Configuration Sequence The Genie IP (Internet Protocol) Configuration sequence to assign an IP address is executed automatically on camera power-up or when connected to a network. As a GigE Vision compliant device, Genie attempts to assign an IP address as follows.
Optimizing the Network Adapter used with Genie Most Gigabit network interface controllers (NIC) allow user modifications to parameters such as Adapter Buffers and Jumbo Frames. These should be optimized for use with the Genie during the installation. Refer to the DALSA Network Imaging package manual for optimization information.
Updating Genie Firmware The Genie firmware may need to be updated to correspond with the currently installed Genie software framework. After installing the new Genie software package and Genie camera, update the firmware by following this procedure. Important: Make sure that no Sapera application (such as CamExpert) is controlling the Genie camera. Start the DALSA Device Manager program from the windows start menu: Start•Programs•DALSA•Genie•Firmware Update.
Wait for the GigE Server to find the Genie again, then run CamExpert to test the Genie operation (as described below). Important: If the Genie power is accidentally cut off during the firmware update (such as a electrical source power failure or human error), the Genie is easily recovered. See "Power Failure During a Firmware Update–Now What?" on page 128.
Bayer CFA Decoder For the HC camera models, to view the acquisition display in color set the Bayer CFA Decoder to Software from the CamExpert Pre-Processing menu. About the User-Defined Camera Name The Genie can be programmed with a user-defined name to aid identifying multiple cameras connected to the network. For instance, on an inspection system with 4 cameras, the first camera might be labeled “top view”, the second “left view”, the third “right view” and the last one “bottom view”.
Silent Installation of Genie Framework The Genie Framework installation can be integrated within a developer's installation procedure. The silent installation mode allows the Genie Framework installation to proceed without the need for mouse clicks from a user. Two steps are required: Preparation of a response file to emulate a user. Invoking the Genie Framework installer with command options to use the prepared response file.
Windows Embedded 7 Installation Windows Embedded 7 is not officially supported by Teledyne DALSA due to the number of possible configurations. However, Sapera LT and other Teledyne DALSA products should function properly on the Windows Embedded 7 platform provided that the required components are installed. Teledyne DALSA provides answer files (.
Operational Reference Camera and Sensor Information Camera and sensor information can be retrieved via a controlling application. Parameters such as camera model, firmware version, sensor characteristics, etc. are read to uniquely identify the connected Genie device. All these features, with the exception of the DeviceUserId, are read-only. Sapera LT or GigE Vision Compliant calls are used to retrieve this information and correctly identify the camera along with its characteristics.
Read Only Parameters Parameter Description Device Vendor Name For the Genie HM series, this is always DALSA. Device Model Name Displays the device model name Device Version Displays the device version which includes the firmware release and build. Firmware Version Displays the currently loaded firmware version manufacturer's code. Device ID Displays the factory set camera serial number. MAC Address Displays the unique MAC (Media Access Control) address of the Genie camera.
Power-up Parameter List The user-defined Camera Configuration saves in camera memory features that can be configured by the user. The following table lists most of these parameters. Parameter Description ROI Region of interest used to crop the image. Pixel Format Defines the pixel format. Frame Rate Defines the frame rate for free run mode.
XML features for Power-up Configuration: UserSetSelector = Selects the feature User Set to configure {Factory = 0, UserSet1 = 1} UserSetLoad = Loads the User Set specified by UserSetSelector to the camera and makes it active UserSetSave = Saves the User Set specified by UserSetSelector to the camera UserSetDefaultSelector = Selects the feature User Set to load at camera reset Camera Information via Sapera LT or GigE Vision Compliant Applications Genie Sapera parameters for Camera and Sensor Information: S
Sensor Controls Genie provides a number of sensor controls to optimize image acquisitions for most imaging solutions. Following is an overview of the CamExpert controls displaying this information, followed by individual control function descriptions and tables indicating the feature name associated to Sapera LT and to GigE Vision Compliant development environments.
User Set Parameters Parameter Description Frame Rate (in Hz) Specifies the internal trigger frame rate for free run mode, in Hz. The Sapera SDK specifies the frame rate in milli Hertz. The maximum frame rate increases by using partial scan (see "Partial Scan—Window ROI" on page 40). Gain (in dB) Specifies the sensor gain in dB. Possible values range from 0 to 12.0 dB, in 0.1 dB increments. For more information, see "Gain and Black Level Controls" on page 39.
Gain and Black Level Controls The Genie HM series of cameras provide gain and black level adjustments in the digital domain for the CMOS sensor. The gain and black level controls can make small compensations to the acquisition in situations where lighting varies and the lens iris can not be easily adjusted. The user can evaluate Gain and Black Level by using CamExpert. Features and limitations are described below. Gain is expressed in decibels (dB). Range from 0dB to +12dB in 0.1dB increments.
Partial Scan—Window ROI (cropping) Partial Scan (vertical cropping) The Partial Scan mode, also know as vertical cropping, reduces the number of video lines grabbed for a frame. By not scanning the full vertical area of the sensor, the maximum possible acquisition frame rate is proportionately increased. As an extreme example, the HM640 scanning a 32 line frame (with an appropriately short integration time), exposed around 1830 fps. A table of frame rates vs. sample vertical cropping values follows.
Maximum Frame Rate (fps) Examples (model HM1024/HC1024 – 8-bit only) Vertical Lines Acquired Free Running Acquisition Triggered Acquisition (synchronous mode) (reset mode - minimum 10μs exposure) Flat Field On Flat Field Off Flat Field On Flat Field Off 768 117 136 117 136 512 176 205 176 205 480 188 218 188 218 368 245 285 245 285 256 352 410 352 410 128 705 820 659 820 64 1317 1639 1160 1422 32 2320 2873 1872 2217 16 3745 4524 2702 3086 8 4587 4672
Partial Scan (horizontal cropping) Genie also can crop the acquisition horizontally by grabbing less pixels on each horizontal line. Additionally a horizontal offset value will start the grab from any pixel count, as shown in the following figure. Note that horizontal cropping does not increase the maximum frame rate due to the CMOS sensor architecture.
Window ROI Control via Sapera LT or GigE Vision Compliant Applications Genie Sapera parameters for Partial Scan and Window ROI: Sapera Width = Buffer width in pixels (must be an even value) Height = Buffer height in lines OffsetX = Horizontal Offset of the leftmost pixel relative to the sensor (must be an even value, in increments of 4) OffsetY = Vertical offset in lines of the uppermost pixel relative to the sensor (must be an even value, in increments of 2) PixelFormat = {Monochrome 8-bit (all models),
CamExpert Image Buffer and ROI Parameters CamExpert provides controls to configure acquisitions via the Image Buffer and ROI Parameters tab. The image buffer can be easily cropped as desired. Below is the CamExpert dialog and parameter descriptions follow. Parameter Description Pixel Format For the Genie HM series, the image buffer format is Monochrome 8-bit or 10-bit, dependent on model. Width (in Pixels) Displays the image buffer width (X axis), in pixels.
Binning Binning is the process where the charge on two (or more) adjacent pixels is combined. This results in increased light sensitivity since there is twice the sensor area to capture photons. The sensor spatial resolution is reduced but the improved low-light sensitivity plus lower signal-noise ratio may solve a difficult imaging situation. The user can evaluate binning by using CamExpert. Genie supports horizontal and vertical binning independently, by a factor of 2 in each axis.
Binning Control via Sapera LT or GigE Vision Compliant Applications Genie Sapera parameters for Binning: Sapera BinningHorizontal = {Disabled = 1, 2 pixels = 2} BinningVertical = {Disabled = 1, 2 lines = 2} In CamExpert, these parameters are available under the “Sensor” tab. See "Accessing Features with Sapera++ LT" on page 76.
Exposure Controls Exposure Control modes define the method and timing of how to control the sensor integration period. The integration period is the amount of time the sensor is exposed to incoming light before the video frame data is transmitted to the controlling computer. Exposure control is defined as the start of exposure and exposure duration. The start of exposure can be an internal timer signal (free-running mode), an external trigger signal, or a software function call trigger.
External Trigger Programmable Exposure Also known as “Edge Pre-select” exposure. See the timing diagram below. The external trigger edge initiates the exposure process. The active external trigger edge can be selected as either the low-high or high-low transition. The delay from active trigger edge to start of exposure is programmable from 100μs to 4 seconds (1μs steps). Supports "Synchronous Mode" on page 51 timing for fastest possible frame rates.
Programmable Reset Mode Exposure Timing External Trigger Level-controlled Exposure Also known as “Pulse Width Control” exposure. See the timing diagram below. The external trigger edge initiates the exposure process. The active external trigger edge can be selected as either the low-high or high-low transition. There is a fixed 100μs delay from active trigger edge to start of exposure.
Exposure Controls via Sapera LT or GigE Vision Compliant Applications Genie Sapera parameters for Exposure Control: Sapera FrameRate = 0.1 Hz up to max. frame rate supported by sensor in current mode of operation. Only available with Trigger disabled. ExposureMode = {Programmable = 1, Pulse Controlled = 2} ExposureTime = Exposure duration in µs In CamExpert, these parameters are available under “Sensor” tab. See "Accessing Features with Sapera++ LT" on page 76.
Synchronization Timing Genie supports two types of sensor synchronization used to align the exposure to sensor timing: Synchronous Mode: Exposure is synchronous to the line timing of the sensor. Exposure granularity is 1µs and the readout can be concurrent to the exposure for the fastest possible frame rate. But the frame exposure start is subject to 1 horizontal line time jitter. Reset Mode: Timing is reset to initiate exposure of next frame.
Reset Mode Exposure starts immediately with a valid trigger (after a fixed 100μs delay). There is no jitter on the start of exposure. Exposure time is programmable or controlled by the trigger pulse width. Minimum exposure is 10µs – maximum is 4 seconds, with steps of 1µs. Sensor readout must complete before the next exposure can start. That is, exposure and readout are sequential. Therefore, the maximum frame rate is lower than for Synchronous mode.
CamExpert I/O Controls Dialog CamExpert groups the Genie I/O Controls Parameters in one group. These parameters allow configuring the Genie inputs and outputs for type of signal and signal polarity. The screen capture below shows the CamExpert I/O parameters dialog and is followed by a descriptive overview. Detailed information on inputs and outputs follow this section. I/O Controls Dialog Parameter Description Trigger Enables or disables the Genie camera trigger.
General Inputs External Input Signal Opto-coupler & Debounce Circuit Genie provides two sets of opto-coupled inputs for either RS422 or TTL signals. These can be used as external trigger sources. See "12-Pin Hirose Connector Signal Details" on page 108 for connector pinout and electrical information. The cable shell and shield should electrically connect the Genie chassis to computer chassis for maximum EMI protection.
Input Controls via Sapera LT or GigE Vision Compliant Applications Genie Sapera parameters for Trigger Modes, Time Stamp and General Inputs: Sapera TriggerDelayToIntegration = Delay in µs from trigger to exposure TriggerEnable = {FALSE, TRUE} TriggerSource = {Input 1 = 0, Input 2 = 1, Software = 2} TriggerSoftware = {FALSE, TRUE} FramesPerTrigger = Frame count 1 to 32767 TimestampResetSource = {Off = 0, Input 1 = 1, Input 2 = 2} TimestampCounter = {Internal Clock = 0, Input 1 = 1, Input 2 = 2, End of Read
Strobe and General Outputs Genie provides two sets of opto-coupled outputs (see "External Outputs" on page 111). These can be used as a strobe signal to control lighting or to generate programmable pulses when specific events are generated by the camera. They can also be set to a static state (close or open) by the application. See "12-Pin Hirose Connector Signal Details" on page 108 for connector pinout and electrical information.
When an event mode is selected, its trigger output schematic or signal timing diagram is displayed, as well as any other additional parameters for the mode. For most event modes, the trigger output signal can be set to either Active Open (that is high with the load connected to a voltage source) or Active Closed (where current is drawn through the load). The output delay can be set from 0 to 4 seconds, in increments of 1 µs. The pulse duration can be set from 10µs to 4 seconds, in increments of 1 µs.
Pulse On Valid Trigger Event Mode The Pulse On Valid Trigger event mode generates an output signal when a valid input trigger is received. Pulse On Invalid Trigger Event Mode This event mode generates an output signal when an invalid input trigger is received. An invalid trigger is any trigger received while the camera is engaged in frame acquisition (exposure and readout) and cannot accept trigger inputs. This is shown by the trigger exclusion region in the following diagram.
Pulse On Start of Readout Event Mode The Pulse On Start of Readout event mode generates an output signal when the camera begins a readout operation from the sensor. Pulse On End of Readout Event Mode The Pulse On End of Readout event mode generates an output signal when the camera finishes a readout operation from the sensor.
Pulse On End of Acquisition Event Mode The Pulse On End of Acquisition event mode generates an output signal when the acquisition process is terminated using software. Pulse On Input 1 or Input 2 Event Modes The Pulse On Input 1 or Input 2 event modes generate an output signal when the specified input signal is asserted.

Flat Field (Image Shading) Correction Image Shading correction, also known as Flat Field Correction is the process of eliminating small gain differences between pixels in a sensor, eliminate sensor hotspots by automatically doing pixel replacement, and also to compensate for light distortion caused by a lens. That sensor when exposed to a uniformly lit field will have no gray level differences between pixels when calibrated flat field correction is applied to the image.
Important Factors about the Flat Field Data (TIF) File Data Format rules: Camera Pixel format in 8-bit — Flat Field calibration data (8-bit) is saved as a 8-bit TIF file Camera Pixel format in 10-bit — Flat Field calibration data (10-bit) is saved as a 16-bit TIF file Flat Field 8-bit calibration data which is saved as an 8-bit data file (TIF) can only be loaded by a Sapera application when the application pixel format is 8-bit.
Indicates one or more “hot” pixels Average dark pixel value Important: In this example, the average pixel value for the frame is close to black. Also note that most sensors will show a much higher maximum pixel value due to one or more "hot pixels". The sensor specification accounts for a small number of hot or stuck pixels (pixels that do not react to light over the full dynamic range specified for that sensor).
Minimum should not be black unless there is a “dead” pixel Maximum should not be peak white unless there is a “hot” pixel (i.e. 255 for 8-bit, 1023 for 10-bit) Average bright pixel value (bright gray but not white) Important: In this example, the average pixel value for the frame is bright gray. Also note that sensors may show a much higher maximum or a much lower minimum pixel value due to one or more "hot or dead pixels".
Flat Field Calibration Window The Flat Field calibration window provides a three step process to acquire two reference images and then save the flat field correction data for the Genie used. To aid in determining if the reference images are valid, a histogram tool is provided so that the user can review the images used for the correction data. CamExpert Flat Field Calibration Menu Click on the Advanced Setting button to change the default number of frames averaged for each calibration step.
Using Flat Field Correction From the CamExpert menu bar enable Flat Field correction (Pre-Processing • Flat Field Correction • Hardware). Now when doing a live grab or snap, the incoming image is corrected by the current flat field calibration data for each pixel. Use the menu function Tools • Flat Field Correction • Load to load in a flat field correction image from previously saved calibration data. CamExpert allows saving and loading calibration data for all cameras used with the imaging system.
Image Flip Horizontal The Genie supports a software controlled horizontal flip function as shown in the following figure. The process is done in hardware with no loss of acquisition frame rate. Horizontal Flip Vertical As shown in the following figure, a vertical flip function is simply accomplished by mounting the Genie camera upside down and by programming the camera to do a horizontal flip. Genie provides identical mounting holes on both its top and bottom side to ease installations.
Internal Image Test Patterns The Genie camera includes a built in test pattern generator that can be used to confirm camera Ethernet connections or driver installations, without the need for a camera lens or proper lighting. The pattern generator inserts video just after the sensor A/D converter, therefore Genie processing such as the LUT act on the generator images or on sensor images. CamExpert is used to easily enable and select the Genie test patterns.
Test Image Select via Sapera LT or GigE Vision Compliant Applications Genie Sapera parameters for Image Test Patterns: Sapera TestImageSelector = {Off = 0, Grey Horizontal Ramp = 1, Grey Vertical Ramp = 2, Grey Diagonal Ramp Moving = 3, Purity = 4} In CamExpert, these parameters are available in the “Sensor” tab. See "Accessing Features with Sapera++ LT" on page 76.
Feature Event Name (case sensitive strings) Description Start of Trigger Trigger is valid based on the programmed trigger parameters Start of Exposure Exposure has started End of Exposure Exposure is complete End of Acquisition Transfer of image is terminated from camera. This does not mean that the host PC has received all data packets.
Using CamExpert to set Network Controls & GigE Vision Parameters This section describes how to optimize the network configuration for maximum Genie bandwidth. Optimization of these parameters is highly dependent on the number of cameras connected to a NIC, the data rate of each camera and the trigger modes used. Important: Laptop computers may have issues even with a GigE NIC port, either built in or as a PCMCIA device.
Parameter Description IP Configuration Mode Default is DHCP/LLA mode. Select Persistent IP if manually setting the Genie IP address via the IP Address parameter. IP Address Displays the Genie IP address. Allows setting the IP address when the mode is Persistent IP. Network Configuration Mode Specifies the Network Configuration Mode as either Automatic, Manual, or Optimize. In general use Optimize mode. Some computers, especially laptops, may require manual optimization of network parameters.

Feature Type INT32 The feature list for type INT32 has an additional column 'Exponent' which defines the feature's native unit. This exponent value is used as a unit multiplier so that the feature value is expressed as an integer, not a decimal number. As an example from the following table, the Genie frame rate is 60000 with an exponent of 3. Therefore the frame rate native unit is mHz. The current value shown – 60000 mHz, is actually 60.000 Hz.

Network Overview & Tools Genie IP Configuration Mode Details The following descriptions provide more information on the IP configuration modes supported by Genie. In general automatic IP configuration assignment (LLA/DHCP) is sufficient for most Genie installations. Please refer to the DALSA Network Imaging Package manual for information on the DALSA Network Configuration tool and network optimization for GigE Vision cameras and devices. Link-Local Address (LLA) LLA is also known as Auto-IP.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) This IP configuration mode requires a DHCP server to allocate an IP address dynamically over the range of some defined subnet. The Genie camera must be configured to have DHCP enabled. This is the factory default settings. The DHCP server is part of a managed network. Windows itself does not provide a DHCP server function therefore a dedicated DHCP server is required.
Persistent IP This configuration is only suggested if the user fully controls the assignment of IP addresses on the network. The GigE Vision camera is forced a static IP address. The NIC IP address must use the same subnet otherwise the camera is not accessible. If the Genie camera is connected to a network with a different subnet, it cannot be accessed. The DALSA Network Configuration Tool is used to set a persistent IP address. Refer to the DALSA Network Imaging manual.

Camera Status LED The Genie has one multicolor LED to provide a simple visible indication of the operational status of the camera. When more than one condition is active, the LED color indicates the condition with the highest priority. The following table summarizes the LED states and corresponding camera status.
Some light sources age such that over their life span they produce less light. This aging may not be uniform—a light source may produce progressively less light in some areas of the spectrum but not others. Filters Genie HM cameras are responsive to infrared (IR) wavelengths of light. To prevent infrared from distorting the acquisitions, use a “hot mirror” or IR cutoff filter that transmits visible wavelengths but does not transmit wavelengths over 750nm.
Example: An acquisition system has a 512 x 512 element, 10m pixel pitch area scan camera, a lens with an effective focal length of 45mm, and requires that 100m in the object space correspond to each pixel in the image sensor. Using the preceding equation, the object distance must be 450mm (0.450m). 10m 45mm 100m OD OD 450mm(0.

The following table lists the lens size required for total illumination and the next smaller lens size which will have some vignetting.
Additional Lens Parameters (application specific) There are other lens parameters that are chosen to meet the needs of the vision application. These parameters are independent of the Genie model (assuming that the Lens Mount and Lens Sensor Size parameters are correct, as previously covered in this section). A vision system integrator or lens specialist should be consulted when choosing lenses since there is a trade off between the best lenses and cost.
Protecting Against Dust, Oil and Scratches The sensor window is part of the optical path and should be handled like other optical components, with extreme care. Dust can obscure pixels, producing dark patches on the sensor response. Dust is most visible when the illumination is collimated. The dark patches shift position as the angle of illumination changes. Dust is normally not visible when the sensor is positioned at the exit port of an integrating sphere, where the illumination is diffuse.
Ruggedized RJ45 Ethernet Cables Components Express Inc. has available an industrial RJ45 CAT6 cable that on one end has a molded shroud assembly with top/bottom thumbscrews, while the other end has a standard RJ45. This cable is recommended when Genie is installed in a high vibration environment. All Genie versions support this secure Ethernet cable. All cables made in U.S.A. – all cables RoHS compliant. CAT6 certified (tested for near end / far end crosstalk and return loss).
C/CS-Mount NIR and UV Filter Midwest Optical Systems has available a C-mount NIR/UV filter. This filter screws into the Genie camera before mounting the lens. The figures below show the filter before mounting into the Genie, followed by the filter physical specifications and pass spectrum. Contact Midwest Optical Systems directly for technical information and pricing. Physical Specifications: Outside diameter: 25.4mm, 32 NS2A thread (c-mount thread) Clear Aperture: 19.5mm Thickness: 3.0 ±0.
Back Focal Variance when using a Filter Inserting a filter between a lens and sensor (as when using a C-mount filter), changes the focal point of the lens used. A variable focus lens simply needs to be adjusted, but in the case of a fixed focus lens, the changed focal point needs correction. The following simplified illustration describes this but omits any discussion of the Optics, Physics, and the math behind the behavior of light through different media.
Computer Requirements for Genie Cameras The following information is a guide to computer and networking equipment required to support the Genie camera at maximum performance. The Genie camera series complies with the current IPv4 Internet Protocol, therefore current Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) equipment should provide trouble free performance. Host PC System Operating System: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 (either 32-bit or 64-bit for all) are supported.
Ethernet to Fiber-Optic Interface Requirements In cases of camera-to-PC separations of more than 100 meters but an Ethernet switch is not desired, a fiber-optic media converter can be used. The FlexPoint GX from Omnitron Systems (www.omnitron-systems.com) converts GigE to fiber transmission and vice versa. It supports multimode (MM) fiber over distances of up to 220 m (720 ft.) and single-mode (SM) fiber up to 65 km (40 mi.) with SC, MT-RJ, or LC connector types.

Troubleshooting Overview In rare cases an installation may fail or there are problems in controlling and using the Genie camera. This section highlights issues or conditions which may cause installation problems and additionally provides information on computers and network adapters which have caused problems with Genie. Emphasis is on the user to perform diagnostics with the tools provided and methods are described to correct the problem.
Device IP Error The GigE server tray icon shows a warning with IP errors. Review the following topics on network IP problems to identify and correct the condition. Please refer to the DALSA Network Imaging Package manual for information on the DALSA Network Configuration tool and network optimization foe GigE Vision cameras and devices.
Verifying Network Parameters DALSA provides the Network Configuration tool to verify and configure network devices and the Genie network parameters. See section Network Configuration Tool of the DALSA Network Imaging manual, if there were any problems with the automatic Genie software installation. Before Contacting Technical Support Carefully review the issues described in this Troubleshooting section.
Device Available with Operational Issues This section considers issues with cabling, Ethernet switches, multiple cameras, and camera exposure. All information concerning the DALSA Network Configuration Tool and other networking considerations, is available in the DALSA Network Imaging manual. Firmware Updates As a general rule any Genie installation must include the firmware update procedure (see "Updating Genie Firmware" on page 28).
Communication problems: Use a shielded cable where the Hirose connector shell electrically connects the Genie chassis to the power supply earth ground. This can eliminate trigger issues in a high EMI environment. Check that the Ethernet cable is clipped both to the Genie and the NIC or switch on the other end. Verify the Ethernet cabling. Poor cables will cause connections to auto-configure at lower speeds. Use the Genie Ethernet status LED to confirm a gigabit connection.
Make sure the Memory Overflow event monitor is enabled. Continue grabbing from the Genie at maximum frame rate. If any memory overflow events are counted, then the Genie internal buffer could not be transmitted on time and was discarded. Such a condition may occur with large frame color or high frame rate Genie cameras. Verify that network parameters are optimal as described in "CamExpert GigE Vision Parameters" on page 73. Ensure the host computer is not executing other network intensive tasks.
