TM-4200GE Hardware
7.2Features
•Small size and light weight
The printed circuit boards in the TM-4200GE have been arranged to create modular electronics, giving the camera flexibility. In addition, the use of miniature solid-state components results in a compact, lightweight camera that is 51mm x 51mm x 74mm in dimensions, and weighs only 155 grams.
•Imager
The TM-4200GE uses a dual-tap progressive scan interline transfer CCD that has the following features:
-Resolution of 2k x 2k active pixels for excellent image quality.
-7.4 x 7.4 µm square pixels for precise dimensional measurement.
-High-speed electronic shutter capability for high dynamic resolution of moving objects that eliminates the need for a mechanical shutter.
-Progressive scan CCD eliminates interlace deterioration of image and increases ease of computer interface.
-High sensitivity and low noise during fast scanning. The CCD has an excellent S/N ratio at the default setting that is greater than 58dB.
-The CCD has a built-in microlens for increased quantum efficiency.
•Electronic shutter
The TM-4200GE has a substrate drain-type shutter mechanism which provides superb pictures at various speeds without smearing. For more information, please see Section 9.3 on page 63.
•Asynchronous reset
The TM-4200GE captures async reset images and provides single-shot video output with single FDV (frame data valid). This makes it simpler for an ordinary frame grabber to capture the asynchronous reset images. The TM-4200GE’s asynchronous reset is flexible and accepts external horizontal drive (HD) for phase locking. When the VINIT (5V) pulse is applied to CC1, it resets the camera's scanning and purging of the CCD.
The TM-4200GE has three modes to control the asynchronous reset and shutter speed:
-Async, no shutter. The video signal and FDV are reset by external VINIT.
-Internal shutter speed control. The speed control varies from 1/60 to 1/16,000 sec. The video signal and FDV starts with internal V reset timing related to shutter speed.
-External VINIT with pulse width. The duration between pulse edges controls the shutter speed externally.
•Output
The TM-4200GE has a dual-tap 10-bit/8-bit Gigabit Ethernet output.
•Dual-channel auto black level balancing and semi-auto gain balancing
The TM-4200GE, as a dual-tap output camera, has auto black level balancing and semi-auto gain balancing functions.
•Warranty
Please contact your factory representative for details about the warranty.
