Camera Exposure Issues

No camera exposure when expected.

•Verify by using the camera in free-running mode. Do not use external trigger mode when testing a camera setup.

•If using free-running mode, verify that the exposure period is set to the maximum possible for the set frame rate.

•Load factory default from the Power-up Configuration in CamExpert. This will reset the camera to its nominal acquisition rate.

Camera is functional but frame rate is lower than expected.

•Verify Ethernet link speed. If the LAN connection is limited to 100 Mbps, the monochrome Genie frame rate maximum will be around 30 fps for a 640x480 exposure. Higher resolution Genie models would have even lower frame rates without a Gigabit Ethernet connection.

•If using an external trigger, verify the trigger source rate and Genie parameters such as trigger to exposure delay.

•Verify the exposure mode type is Synchronous, not Reset mode. (See "Synchronization Timing" on page 46).

Camera is functional, frame rate is as expected, but image is black.

•Verify that the lens iris is open.

•Aim the Genie at a bright light source.

•Check that the programmed exposure duration is not too short or set it to maximum. See "Exposure Controls" on page 43.

•Using CamExpert set the Genie to output its internal pattern generator. This step is typically done for any camera installation to quickly verify the Genie and its software package.
