HALCON Image Acquisition Interface for GINGA digital Boards
This document provides information about the camera file naming convention used by the HALCON GingaDG interface.

Camera File Naming Convention
The name of the camera file is described according to the
camera name and the way how to control it. It is separated into the blocks camera name, scan format and shutter
mode:
[Camera Name] Name of camera. Symbols like "-" are removed.
[Scan Format] Bit depth and the number of taps as shown below:
| E | 8 bit | ||
| T | 10 bit | ||
| W | 12 bit | ||
| F | 14 bit | ||
| S | 16 bit |
[Camera Name] Name of camera. Symbols like "-" are removed.
[Shuttering]
Shutter mode of the camera:
- Area camera:
| NORM | The images, which are continuously outputted from the camera, can be grabbed by the software timing. Each grab starts just after a grab command like grab_image is called. | ||
| RR | The images, which are outputted in restart reset mode, can be grabbed. | ||
| TRIG_DEMAND | The trigger shutter function can be used. Reset shutter is made by a trigger signal given to the camera from the GINGA digital board. The camera trigger signal is given at the timing of shot (trigger) signal from the external device (external trigger) to the GINGA digital board or shot operation by software trigger. The camera can be reset by the shutter operation and outputs the images at the shot signal timing. |
- Line sensor camera:
| NORM | The images, which the H runs in free-running mode, can be grabbed by the software timing. Each grab starts just after a grab command like grab_image is called. | ||
| H_DEMAND | The images can be grabbed when the horizontal synchronization is reset. | ||
| TRIG_FREERUN | One line just after the encoder pulse can be grabbed with the H running in free-running mode. |
In the case of using the external signal as the grab command, these parameters must be modified by 'SHOT'.
When you continue the grabbing while the external signal is active, this parameter must be set 'SHOT_EXTEND'.
[Others]
| FIX | 'TRIG_DEMAND' in [Shuttering] means the pulse width exposure, but the setting with 'FIX' means the fixed shutter speed. | ||
| WOI | It means the camera file set by the multiple WOI. The number of WOI needs to be set just after 'WOI'. | ||
| PART | It means the camera file set by the partial scan setting. The frame rate needs to be set just after 'PART'. (ex: Frame-rate=120fps -> 'PART_120') |
Example
-
CSB4000CL, 10 bit, free running without reset
shutter:
CSB4000CL_T1_NORM
-
CSB4000CL, 10 bit, grabbing by trigger pulse
signal from the GINGA digital board to the camera. The
images can be grabbed from camera by the shot signal input
to the GINGA digital or the shot operation of software:
CSB4000CL_T1_TRIG_DEMAND
-
CSB4000CL, 10 bit, grabbing by the setting of 16 WOI,
free running without reset shutter:
CSB4000CL_T1_NORM_WOI_16
-
TL-5150UFD, 10 bit, grabbing with reset shutter by
external shot signal (external trigger):
TL5150UFD
-
TL-5150UFD, 8 bit, grabbing one line just after the
encoder pulse under the free running of horizontal
synchronization with reset
shutter by external shot signal (external trigger):
_E1_H_FREERUN_SHOT
