Mitsubishi CIS Scanner

After successful installation and configuration of the scanner, it can be used directly as a camera.

Warning: Camera Link Configuration "TTL Encoder Driven" must be set for operationwith EasySightPro®.

Set up via live image

The camera settings are automatically set by the setup wizard and do not have to be inserted in the program management. The setup wizard is started via the "Live Image" button of the respective camera station.

For the initial setup it is recommended to follow the given steps in the menu sequence.

Menu "Connection"

Displays the connection status to the scanner and the basic configuration of the data output.

 

Camera Link

Image grabber 0 (left)

Indicates the connection status to Camera Link Card 1. This must be Green for proper operation.

In the event of an error, check the configuration!

Output image format of the scanner

Camera Link Output format of the scanner. (Default: Medium Configuration 8Bit)

Image output frequency of the scanner

The image output frequency determines the maximum speed of the scanner. The higher the speed, the more susceptible the transmission is to EMC interference.

Menu "Basic settings"

Contain all settings relevant for image acquisition, such as exposure time, line synchronization and image compression algorithms.

 

Image quality
 

Dark Correction

Activates the factory black balance. (Recommended: ON)

 

White Correction

Activates the factory white balance. (Recommended: ON)

 

Gamma Correction

Activates the factory brightness correction. (Recommended ON)

 

Interpolate missing pixels

Adds the missing pixels for scanners with more than one module. The spaces are interpolated by the firmware. (Recommended: ON)

Line adjustment

Activates the color correction depending on the direction of movement of the scanner. This improves the image quality at color transitions. (Recommended: ON)

Illumination

Exposure pulse length

Length of the LED control in µs.

The acquisition frequency (exposure time) of the scanner is fixed by the image output frequency. The image brightness is controlled by shortening the exposure pulse in relation to the acquisition frequency.

Illumination divider

Shortens the LED pulse by means of an internal divider. The lower the setting, the darker the image.

Line synchronisation

Mode

Operating mode with or without encoder.

Line cycle

For operation without encoder, the distance from line to line (in µs) can be set.
Valid values are 44-97µs).

 

Encoder mode

Encoder edges: 2x or 4x

 

Use encoder divider

Using the encoder divider

Encoder divider

M + N Parameters for dividing the input frequency (see calculation tool)

Acquisition direction

Acquisition direction for encoder mode

Encoder resolution

Encoder resolution in mm per pulse

Calculation tool

The calculation tool supports the determination of the correct encoder divider.

Menu "Acquisition settings"

The captured overall image in software automatically composed of smaller sub-images.

 

Acquisition

Height of a partial image in pixels

The frame size should be chosen so that the RAM and processor load is well distributed during the capture. (Recommended ~1000 Pixels)

Number of partial images

Each image acquisition consists of 2-50 partial images per module.

Overall image height

Height of the total image after all partial images have been acquired. For diagnostic purposes in pixels and millimeters.

 

Calibration

Activates the automatic calibration of the image using the acquisition parameters. The calibration is inserted as Sensor2D.

 

Full image/region of interest

This option allows you to cut out part of the image for inspection to save memory (ROI).

Control

New image acquisition

Triggers a new image acquisition.
