Shading Correction is used to compensate for
non-uniform illumination, lens vignetting and/
or any differences in pixel sensitivity. The image
from a white homogeneous background is
used as a reference to correct each pixel of the
sensor with an individual factor, scaled up to a
adjustable level. The result is a homogeneous
image over the complete area when a white
object is scanned. The correction profile can
be stored permanently in the Shading
Correction Memory (SCM) of the camera for
immediate use when the camera is reactivated
at the next start.
With color line scan cameras, shading
correction can also be used as a white balance.

LINE SYNC Modes
FreeRun: The next exposure of a line scan is
started automatically on completion of the
previous line scan.
LineStart: The line scan exposed at the time of
the external trigger is read out. The start and
duration of exposure are controlled internally
by the camera. The trigger frequency does not
affect the exposure time.
ExposureStart: A new line exposure is started
exactly at the time of triggering. Programmed
exposure times are unaffected by, although
must be longer than the trigger period.
ExposureActive: The external trigger signal
determines the start and end of exposure,
which is defined by the trigger period.
SyncDivider: The external trigger frequency is
divided by a programmed integer. Only every
n-th line is recorded.
FRAME SYNC
Additional to the LineSync modes, the USB 3.0
line scan cameras have the external frame
synchronization (FrameSync) for triggering the
acquisition of 2-dimensional images. The
individual lines can be synchronized internally
or externally. The camera suppresses the data
transfer until the falling edge of a TTL signal
occurs at the FrameStart input (e.g. triggered
by breaking a light beam). Only then is
VideoValid is active and the subsequent
camera data can be transfered to the PC.

When the USB 3.0 camera is connected to a
USB 2.0 socket of a PC then the operating sy-
stem warns the user that the equipment is ca-
pable of higher speeds with a faster socket. The
camera is automatically reduced to the USB 2.0
Hi-Speed mode, which can restrict the maxi-
mum line frequency capabilities of the higher
specification line scan camera models.
In all other respects, the USB 3.0 cameras have
full functionality under USB 2.0.
Sometimes the designation of a socket as
USB 2.0 is because the connecting USB cable
is incapable of USB 3.0 SuperSpeed rates.
Cameras with power requirements greater than
500 mA need an extra power source when
attached to a single USB 2.0 socket.
USB 2.0 Compatibility
The major characteristics can be compared
for the USB 3.0 interface and a representative
set of modern line scan camera interfaces.
USB 3.0 offers a fast data transfer at relatively
low system costs while providing a future-
proof operation of the line scan camera at its
maximum bit-depth and speed.
