If you are familiar with GigE Vision cameras follow these steps to quickly install and acquire images with Genie Nano and Sapera LT in a Windows OS system. If you are not familiar with Teledyne DALSA GigE Vision cameras go to Connecting the Genie Nano Camera.
Page 103: Connecting The Genie Nano Camera
Genie Nano connects to a computer’s Gigabit Network Adapter (NIC). If the computer is already connected to a network, the computer requires a second network adapter, either onboard or an additional PCIe NIC adapter. Refer to the Teledyne DALSA Network Imaging manual for information on optimizing network adapters for GigE Vision cameras.
Page 104: Pause Frame Support
Connect the Genie Nano Camera Connecting a Genie Nano to a network system is similar whether using the Teledyne DALSA Sapera LT package or a third party GigE Vision development package.
Page 105: Connectors
• connector supports a retention latch, while the Nano case supports thumbscrews. Teledyne DALSA provides optional cables (see Optional Cable Accessories). See 10-pin I/O Connector Pinout Details for connector pin out specifications. Note that the NanoXL uses the same two connectors but on a larger camera body.
Page 106: Led Indicators
LED Indicators The Genie Nano has one multicolor LED to provide a simple visible indication of camera state, as described below. The Nano Ethernet connector does not have indicator LEDs; the user should use the LED status on the Ethernet switch or computer NIC to observe networking status. Camera Status LED Indicator The camera is equipped with one LED to display its operational status.
Page 107: Genie Nano Ip Configuration Sequence
Preferably, a DHCP server is present on the network, where the Genie Nano issues a DHCP request for an IP address. The DHCP server then provides the Nano an IP address. The Teledyne DALSA Network Configuration tool, installed with the Sapera Teledyne DALSA Network Imaging Package, provides a DHCP server which is easily enabled on the NIC used with the Genie Nano (refer to the Teledyne DALSA Network Imaging user’s manual).

Page 129: Reset Exposure Alignment Overview
Reset Exposure Alignment Overview Sensor timing is reset to initiate exposure when a valid trigger is received. Readout is sequential to exposure, reducing the maximum achievable frame rates. That is, a trigger received during exposure or readout is ignored since data would be lost by performing a reset. Exposure Timing for Sony Models Sony sensor models support both Synchronous Mode and Reset Mode exposure alignment.

Page 144: Trigger Source Types (Trigger Mode=On)
Trigger Source Types (Trigger Mode=On) Trigger Source=Software: An exposure trigger is sent as a control command via the • Ethernet network connection. Software triggers cannot be considered time accurate due to network latency and sequential command jitter. But a software trigger is more responsive than calling a single-frame acquisition since the latter must validate the acquisition parameters and modify on-board buffer allocation if the buffer size has changed since the last acquisition.
Page 145: Trigger Overlap: Feature Details
Trigger Overlap: Feature Details The Trigger Overlap feature defines how the Nano handles triggers that might occur more frequently than the Frame Active period (an exposure plus readout period). If TriggerOverlap=OFF, then triggers received before the end of the Frame Active period are ignored.

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.

Page 289: Light Sources
Light Sources Keep these guidelines in mind when selecting and setting up light source: LED light sources are relatively inexpensive, provide a uniform field, and longer life span • compared to other light sources. However, they also require a camera with excellent sensitivity.
Page 290: Guidelines For Choosing Ir Cut-Off Filters
Guidelines for Choosing IR Cut-off Filters The following graphic, using a color sensor response spectrum, shows the transmission response of typical filters designed for CMOS sensor cameras. When selecting an IR cut-off filter, choose a near infrared blocking specification of ~650nm. Filters that block at 700nm or longer wavelengths, designed for CCD cameras, are not recommended for Genie Nano color cameras.
Page 291: Back Focal Variance When Using Any Filter
Back Focal Variance when using any Filter Inserting a filter between a lens and sensor changes the back 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.
Page 292: Lens Modeling
Lens Modeling Any lens surrounded by air can be modeled for camera purposes using three primary points: the first and second principal points and the second focal point. The primary points for a lens should be available from the lens data sheet or from the lens manufacturer. Primed quantities denote characteristics of the image side of the lens.
Page 293: Sensor Handling Instructions
Sensor Handling Instructions This section reviews proper procedures for handling, cleaning, or storing the Genie Nano camera. Specifically the Genie Nano sensor needs to be kept clean and away from static discharge to maintain design performance. Electrostatic Discharge and the Sensor Cameras sensors containing integrated electronics are susceptible to damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Page 313: Grab Has Random Bad Data Or Noise
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 in various computers and setups. See the Teledyne DALSA Network Imaging manual for information on network optimizations.

Page 315: Model C4900 Column Noise In Saturated Areas
Model C4900 Column Noise in Saturated Areas Model C4900 cameras used in high temperature environments and exposed to light many times brighter than the pixel saturation threshold, might exhibit sensor artifacts visible as dark column noise in the saturated areas. This is not a camera fault but just a sensor limitation, which varies from one camera to another.

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.
