A lens is designed to image objects at some limited distance range at some positive or negative magnification This defines the field of view e F Number aperture The lens aperture defines the amount of light that can pass Lenses may have fixed or variable apertures Additionally the lens aperture affects Depth of Field which defines the distance range which is in focus when the lens is focus at some specific distance e Image Resolution and Distortion A general definition of image quality A lens with poor resolution seems to never be in focus when used to image fine details e Aberrations defect chromatic spherical Aberrations are specific types of lens faults affecting resolution and distortion Lens surface defects or glass faults distort all light or specific colors Aberrations are typically more visible when imaging fine details e Spatial Distortions Describes non linear lens distortions across the field of view Such distortion limits the accuracy of measurements made with that lens Optical Considerations This section provides an overview to illumination light sources filters lens modeling and lens magnification Each of these components contribute to the successful design of an imaging solution Illumination The amount and wavelengths of light required to capture useful images depend on the particular application Factors include the nature speed and spectral characteristics of objects being imaged exposure times l

IP is selected and the ARP is repeated Note that LLA is unable to forward packets across routers Preventing Operational Faults due to ESD Genie camera installations which do not protect against ESD electrostatic discharge may exhibit operational faults Problems such as random packet loss random camera resets and random loss of Ethernet connections may all be solved by proper ESD management The Genie camera when used with a simple power supply and Ethernet cable is not properly connected to earth ground and therefore is susceptible to ESD caused problems An Ethernet cable has no ground connection and a power supply s 0 volt return line is not necessarily connected to earth ground Teledyne DALSA has performed ESD testing on Genie cameras using an 8 kilovolt ESD generator without any indication of operational faults The two following methods either individually or together will prevent ESD problems e Method 1 Use a shielded power supply and or Ethernet cable where the shield is connected to earth ground at the supply end and to the Genie end The Genie case is now properly connected to earth ground and can withstand ESD of 8 kilovolts as tested by Teledyne DALSA e Method 2 Mount the Genie camera on a metallic platform which has a good connection to earth ground 18 e Connecting the Genie TS Camera Genie TS Series GigE Vision Camera Using Genie TS with Sapera API A Genie camera installation with Teledyne DALSA Sapera API gen
