Page 97: Using Cycling Presets—A Simple Example
Using Cycling Presets—a Simple Example As presented in this category’s overview, the cycling preset features allows setting up camera configurations that can change dynamically and repeatedly, with minimum overhead. The features that change along with the trigger for the feature change are preprogrammed in the camera. Additionally a set of preset features can be updated while the camera is acquiring with a different preset. -
Page 98: Cycling Reset Timing Details
Cycling Reset Timing Details This section describes the Nano-5G Cycling function with two cycling feature configurations. These configurations (or cases) are dependent on the cycling preset increment source as follows: • Internal Synchronous Increment: Where the preset increment source is either FrameStart or ValidFrameTrigger (cyclingPresetIncrementalSource= StartOfFrame or ValidFrameTrigger). -
Page 99: Using Cycling Presets With Output Controls
Using Cycling Presets with Output Controls The following graphic shows a Cycling Preset function setup where a two stage setup performs exposures of different length and additionally provides an output pulse at the start of each exposure. As an example, by using both output lines, this setup can trigger two separate light strobes of different wavelengths. -

Page 105: Width And Height Features For Partial Scan Control
Width and Height Features for Partial Scan Control Width and Height controls along with their respective offsets, allow the Genie Nano-5G to grab a region of interest (ROI) within the full image frame. Besides eliminating post acquisition image cropping done by software in the host computer, a windowed ROI grab reduces the bandwidth required on the Gigabit Ethernet link since less pixels are transmitted. -

Page 111: Horizontal And Vertical Flip
Horizontal and Vertical Flip The Image Flip features activate image acquisition with horizontal and/or vertical inversion. • Support of one or both of these functions is Genie Nano-5G model specific since it is a function of sensor data readout, not post sensor processing (thus internal test images cannot be flipped). -
Page 112: Image Flip – Multi-Roi Mode
Image Flip – Multi-ROI Mode Image acquisition flips with multi-ROI enabled is implemented as follows: • The first graphic below shows a simple multi-ROI of two areas, where the camera output is composed of only those two areas. • As shown in the second graphic, the multi-ROI implementation resizes the programmed ROI areas so that the same exact image areas are output by the camera but flipped as expected. -
Page 113: Binning Function And Limitations
Binning Function and Limitations 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. -

Nano-5G is not connected. Important: 10/100 Mb Ethernet is not supported by the Genie Nano-5G series of cameras. The Genie Nano-5G status LED will show that it acquired an IP address (solid Blue) but the Nano-5G will not respond or function at these slower connections. -
Page 192: Problem Type Summary
In multiple NIC systems where the NIC for the Nano-5G is using LLA mode, ensure that no other NIC is in or switches to LLA mode. It is preferable that the Teledyne DALSA DHCP server is enabled on the NIC used with the Nano-5G instead of using LLA mode, which prevents errors associated with multiple NIC ports. -

Device Available with Operational Issues This section considers issues with cabling, Ethernet switches, multiple cameras, and camera exposure. All information concerning the Teledyne DALSA Network Configuration Tool and other networking considerations, is available in the Teledyne DALSA Network Imaging manual. -

Use the Log Viewer tool (see point below) to check on packet resend conditions. • Run the Sapera Log Viewer: Start•Programs•Teledyne DALSA•Sapera LT•Tools•Log Viewer. Start the Nano-5G acquisition program, such as CamExpert. There should not be any “packet resend” messages, else this indicates a control or video transmission problem due to poor connections or extremely high EMI environments. -
Page 196: Acquisition Error Without Timeout Messages
Streaming video problems range from total loss of image data to occasional loss of random video data packets. The following section describes conditions identified by Teledyne DALSA engineering while working with Nano-5G in various computers and setups. See the Teledyne DALSA Network Imaging manual for information on network optimizations. -
Page 197: No Camera Exposure When Expected
• Verify that network parameters are optimal as described in the Teledyne DALSA Network Imaging Module manual. Ensure the host computer is not executing other network intensive tasks. Try a different Gigabit NIC. -
Page 198: Other Problems Or Issues
Other Problems or Issues This section describes problems that do not fit any of the categories above. Typically these are issues found in the field under specific or unusual conditions. Preventing Dropped Packets by adjusting Power Options New computers using new generation CPU chips such as Intel Skylake require adjustments to the default Power Options to avoid possible dropped packets or frames. -
Page 199: Random Invalid Trigger Events
Random Invalid Trigger Events • Do not change the exposure time while grabbing, else an Invalid Trigger Event may be generated. This applies to any exposure mode or trigger source. The Invalid Trigger Event is not catastrophic and only indicates the loss of a video frame. Stopping acquisitions first will avoid this error. -

This section provides supplemental information about alternative Nano-5G specifications pertaining to various models or legacy firmware revisions. For purchasing information and lead times of optional Nano-5G models that are not part of the typical production cycle, contact Teledyne DALSA Sales. -
Page 201: Enable The Virtual Serial Port Driver
The Virtual Serial Port Driver is automatically installed with the Nano-5G Framework. Even if the Nano-5G is used only with third part GigE Vision applications, usage of the serial port requires that the Nano-5G Framework is installed and enabled by using the Teledyne DALSA Network Configuration tool. -
Page 202: Automatic Windows Driver Installation
Automatic Windows Driver Installation The first time the remote serial port control is enabled on a system, an automatic Windows driver update executes as shown in the following screen captures. This update procedure will not repeat on an update of the framework unless the serial port control is first disabled and then follow by an un-install of the Nano-5G driver. -
