DRAFT

1 Purpose of This Document

The Basler A202k High Gain camera is a variant of the standard Basler A202k camera. The

purpose of this document is to describe the unique aspects of A202k High Gain cameras.

The unique aspects of A202k High Gain camera are listed below.

• As the name implies, A202k High Gain cameras have a higher available gain range than

standard A202k cameras. The gain range and the gain related binary commands for high

gain cameras are detailed in Section 3.

• A202k High Gain cameras have more digital shift settings than standard A202k cameras.

The digital shift settings and digital shift binary commands for high gain cameras are detailed

in Section 4.

• A202k High Gain cameras use a 36 MHz pixel clock rather than the 40 MHz pixel clock used

on standard A202k cameras. This change means that:

- The timing charts for the A202k High Gain are different from standard cameras.

- The camera’s maximum frame rate at full resolution is 43 frames per second rather than 48

frames per second as on standard cameras.

- The formulas for calculating the maximum allowed frame rate are different from standard

cameras.

- The meaning of the binary commands used to set Timer 1 and Timer 2 have changed.

- The recommendations for controlling exposure in ExSync programmable mode and in Free-

run programmable mode have changed.

Section 5shows the timing charts and the frame rate formulas for high gain cameras.

Section 6explains the change to the meaning of the Timer 1 and Timer 2 binary commands.

Section 7lists the exposure control recommendations for high gain cameras.

In all other respects, the operation and features of A202k High Gain cameras are identical to the

operation and features on standard A202k cameras. For a full description of an A202k High Gain

camera and its capabilities, this document must be used together with the A202k User’s Manual

(document number DA04400x).

2 Document Applicability

This user’s manual supplement applies to A202k High Gain cameras with a camera version ID

number of 02.

High gain cameras with a lower or a higher ID number may have fewer features or have more

features than described in this supplement. Features on cameras with a lower or a higher ID

number may not operate exactly as described in this supplement.

An easy way to see the camera version ID number for an A202k High Gain camera is by using the

CCT+. To see the camera version ID number:

1. Double click the CCT+ icon on your desktop or click Start ⇒All Programs ⇒Basler Vision

Technologies ⇒CCT+ ⇒CCT+. The CCT+ window will open and the software will connect

to your camera.

2. Scroll down until you find the

“Camera Information” group

heading. If there is a plus sign

beside the Camera

Information group heading,

click on the plus sign to show

the list of parameters in the

group.

3. Find the parameter called

“Camera Version.” As shown

in Figure 1, the last two

numbers of this parameter are

the camera version ID

number.

This is the

camera

version

ID Number.

3 Gain Changes

3.1 Larger Gain Range

The major difference between the standard camera and the high gain version is the gain range.

On standard cameras, the gain can be programmed on a decimal scale that ranges from 288 to

569 (0x0120 to 0x0239). At the highest gain setting on a standard camera, the gain will be 12 dB.

On the high gain version, gain can be programmed on a decimal scale that ranges from 288 to

1023 (0x0120 to 0x03FF). The settings result in the following amplifications:

If you know the decimal number (DN) setting for the gain on a high gain camera, the equivalent

decibel value can be calculated using the following equations:

Decimal Number (DN) Hexadecimal dB Factor

288 0x0120 0 x1

1023 0x03FF 28.06 x25

Table 1: Gain Settings on a High Gain Camera

LIn normal operation, a gain setting lower than 288 (0x0120) should not be used.

When the gain setting is lower than 288, the sensor output signal that is mapped to

the input of the ADCs will not be linear.
