1 Overview This evaluation system allows an easy setup of Awaiba s NanEye GS sensor in a plug and play camera configuration. Image data is transferred to a PC over high speed USB3 link. The system controls the sensor's operations using an FPGA to define the state machine timings. Over the USB3 interface the user can have access to the sensor configuration and all sensor registers.

2.1.2 External Trigger Input Connector Figure 2: Control Box CN2 Pin No Name 1 Trigger Input 2 GND Table 3: Description of Control Box CN2 As an example of the signal that can be connected to the external trigger of the Idule Module, please take a look on the following features: Pulse generator: 1Hz, 3.08V, 10us. With this signal you can get sensor frame rate of 1 on Awaiba Viewer. On Awaiba Viewer you can chose Board: IduleCam0. After load, it will appear the Trigger Mode option (Normal - without trigger signal and Fixed - with trigger). It also has the trigger polarity option (Negative or Full Frame).

3 Evaluation Software The evaluation system comes with the USB evaluation unit that receives data from the FPGA- Module with one Nan Eye GS and the windows software to run the camera on a PC in real-time. Image display and storage is provided. It has the following features: Possibility to adjust white balance automatically Possibility to save directly to compressed.avi streams of either the processed or the raw data Possibility to save snapshots in PNG and in PGM (saving the 10 bit raw data) Possibility to acquire black and white gain masks Dynamic Gain and Offset switching Load in runtime a new configuration. This software also contains some Image processing algorithms: Colour Reconstruction Gamma Correction (only for colour version) Pixel linear correction Adjust colour saturation Adjust brightness An API interface to the data stream is available for easy integration in existing display systems and evaluation of image processing algorithms.
