Product Information
Product: Forge FG-P5G-50S4
Device Version: 1.4.1
Firmware Version: 2408.0011.800.000
Bugs Fixed
| Bug | Version | Description |
|---|---|---|
| F-8860 | 1.1 | Camera stops sending image out with external trigger set to max frame rate. |
Changes
| Change | Version | Description |
|---|---|---|
| F-8186 | 1.1 | The sequencer has been enhanced to support a moving Region of Interest on a frame by frame basis. |
| F-8890 | 1.1 | For ease of use, Action Command default values are group mask 1 and group key 0. |
| F-8888 | 1.1 | For ease of use, color transformation values are no longer displayed. |
| F-8887 | 1.1 | The gamma default value is set OFF for a linear sensor response. |
| F-8734 | 1.1 | The Forge 5GigE product family is GigE Vision 2.0 compliant. This firmware requires GigE Vision 2.0 compliant software on the host. Spinnaker 3.1 or later is required. |
| DEVP-80 | 1.2 | Burst Mode support to allow internal frame acquisition at the maximum frame rate supported by the camera. See the technical reference information for maximum frame rate statistics. This enables high speed applications over a network with limited bandwdith. This is the default operating mode. |
| DEVP-82 | 1.2 | Lens Shading correction to improve image uniformity across the entire image when using lens at a higher F-Stop (removing vignetting). |
| F-9819 | 1.2 | An easy to recognize firmware release version stored in the Device Version register. |
| DEVP-84 | 1.3 | PTP accuracy was increased from 10us down to less than 1us. |
| DEVP-85 | 1.3 | Immediate action command execution delay time is improved from approximately 400us to a maximum of one line time (8bit: 3.64us, 10bit: 3.69us, 12bit: 5.5us). Scheduled action commands are now executed within one line delay of the scheduled time. In multi-camera configurations, highly accurate scheduled action commands are required to guarantee synchronized frame acquisition across each camera. For vision applications requiring a particularly fast reaction to a trigger signal, accurate execution of scheduled action commands with short schedules is required. |
| F-10646 | 1.3 | The delay time between end of exposure and start of exposure on a sequenced images set is improved to be the minimum support by the sensor. |
| DEVP-83 | 1.4 | Camera generated action command feature provides a mechanism for the camera to generate an action command on the ethernet interface with very low latency when a user configurable event occurs. |
| DEVP-112 | 1.4 | Removed maximum 1000fps frame rate limitation. Now the camera supports the sensor maximum frame rate. |
| DEVP-158 | 1.4 | FPGA pipeline optimization results in supporting maximum sensor frame rate. Due to this optimization, image width must now be a multiple of 16. |
| DEVP-194 | 1.4 | Fast GigE Vision Event Generation provides a mechanism for the camera to generate GigE Vision events on the ethernet interface when a user configurable digital I/O transition occurs. |
| F-11145 | 1.4 | Updated Marvell's Ethernet PHY IC AQR114C from firmware release 5.6.1 to 5.6.9. |
| F-12727 | 1.4.1 | Added PLL lock change (LOS) support, to correct instances where ethernet communications were not being established or long boot times. |
| F-12801 | 1.4.1 | Added support for next version of the programmable clock to support FW backward compatibility. |
| F-12895 | 1.4.1 | Created new node FileSystemFreeSpace of Integer type. |
| F-12950 | 1.4.1 | Fixed generic GenICam chunk data decode failure. |
| F-13028 | 1.4.1 | Fixed a corner case where shutter width and early trigger line may not be latched at the same time, resulting sensor readout terminates earlier than expected. The camera stops streaming when the error occurs. |
Known Issues
| Issue | Version | Description |
|---|---|---|
| F-8435 | 1.1 | When the Intel X550 Ethernet card is configured for 1GigE link speed, host software may experience enumeration issues (camera not visible). |
| F-13067 | 1.1 | Mono camera produces corrupt image with Binning set to 4x1 or 1x4. |
