General LightWise Allegro USB 3.0 Operation
Powering the Camera
The power consumption specification is: 5 V via USB 3.0 interface, maximum 900mA.
The USB 3.0 Micro-B connector provides a power connection between the camera and the host computer.
The ideal input voltage is nominal 5 V DC. Full power, 900mA USB3 host ports must be used.
Caution must be used with USB2 ports or hubs which do not provide the specified 900m mA. USB2 only
provides 500 mA per port. For applications using USB2 ports, external 6V power may need to be provided via
the trigger and strobe cable, or by using a special USB3 Y-Cable cable which allows summing of power from
multiple USB2 ports.
User Sets
The camera can save and restore settings and imaging parameters via on-board user configuration sets, also
known as memory channels. This is useful for saving default power-up settings, such as gain, shutter, video
format and frame rate, and others that are different from the factory defaults.
User Set 0 stores the factory default settings that can always be restored. Two additional user sets are provided
for custom default settings. The camera initializes itself at power-up, or when explicitly reinitialized, using the
contents of the last saved user set. Attempting to save user settings to the (read-only) factory default user set
causes the camera to switch back to using the factory defaults during initialization.
The following camera settings are saved in user sets.
1. Acquisition Frame Rate and Current Frame Rate
2. Image Data Format, Position, and Size
3. Current Video Mode and Current Video Format
4. Frame information
5. Trigger Mode and Trigger Delay
6. Imaging Parameters
7. GenICam User Set Control
