EHD ICM-Series
The document details specifications for ICM series monochrome cameras, highlighting sensor type, pixel size, sensitivity, frame rate, and exposure time. Key models include ICM433M-TR, ICM273M-TR, and others, each with unique features like different sensor sizes and frame rates.
Each camera model is described with specifications such as sensor model, pixel size, frame rate, dynamic range, signal-to-noise ratio, sensitivity, dark current, gain range, exposure time, shutter type, binning options, data interface, digital I/O, power supply, power consumption, temperature and humidity range, size, weight, lens mount, software compatibility, operating system support, and certifications.
The document includes mechanical housing dimensions and interface details, with diagrams of the camera housing and circuit board, and back panel schematic showing USB3.0 output, I/O port, and power supply connections. Pin signal definitions for different hardware versions are provided.
The SDK section details supported platforms including Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android, and describes API support for languages like C/C++, .NET, DirectShow, and LabView. It includes necessary files and resources for development with instructions for different operating systems.
Cameras produced after January 1, 2017, support WinUSB, eliminating the need for driver installation on Windows 8 and above. Kernel mode drivers are provided for x86 and x64 systems, with DPInst.exe recommended for automatic installation. NSIS can be used for creating installation files.
Sample programs are provided for languages like C++, C#, and VB.NET, demonstrating device enumeration, video preview, image capture, and resolution settings. Guidance is also provided for Linux, Android, macOS, Python, and Java platforms.
EHDView software offers control over camera features, supporting high-speed video streaming and advanced image processing capabilities, including automatic and manual exposure, white balance, color adjustment, frame rate control, and image processing enhancements.
The installation process involves fixing the camera, connecting it to a computer, and ensuring proper driver installation. Manual driver installation is necessary for Windows 7 and below, while Windows 8 and above handle it automatically.
The document details the use of the democpp interface for camera operation, including resolution settings, image capture, and frame rate adjustments. It explains the setup of the area of interest (ROI) to optimize data transmission and frame rate.
Global and rolling shutter mechanisms are described, explaining their exposure principles and differences.
Two modes are discussed: free run mode for continuous image acquisition and trigger mode for capturing images based on trigger signals, with API codes for switching between these modes.
- Trigger Mode: The camera enters a waiting state and begins exposure upon receiving a trigger signal. Modes include single frame, multi-frame, counter, and PWM trigger.
- Trigger Signal Source: Can be software or external, with external signals from opto-coupler isolated or non-isolated pins.
- Allows multiple images from a single trigger signal, with a burst count ranging from 1 to 1023.
- Requires a set number of trigger signals before exposure begins, with a configurable counter value.
- Controls exposure time via pulse width, not supported by cameras with rolling shutter sensors.
- Configurable GPIO ports for input/output direction.
- Signal Debouncer: Prevents false triggers by requiring pulse width greater than debouncer time.
- Includes Frame Trigger Wait, Exposure Active, Strobe, and User Output.
- Strobe: Can control flash and external devices with configurable delay and duration.
- Exposure Time: Supports manual and automatic control, disabled in trigger mode.
- Gain Control: Adjusts image noise levels.
- White Balance: Adjusts color under different light sources.
- Color Adjustment: Modifies hue, saturation, brightness, contrast, and gamma.
- Image Flip: Allows vertical and horizontal flipping.
- Test Pattern: Provides various test patterns for image testing.

The back of the industrial camera is shown in Figure 3-4. It has standard USB3.0 output, 6 Pin I/O port (aviation head) and on/off indicator. It has two M2 screw holes on both sides of USB 3.0 port to fix the cable. The holes reduce cable loosening caused by field vibration. The pin signal definition for the camera 6 Pin I/O connector of hardware version V1.0 is shown in Table 3-1.
