The Camera Link line scan is based on a two-tap linear CCD. Therefore, two analog chains process odd and even pixel outputs of the linear sensor. The CCD signal processing encompasses the correlated double sampling (CDS), the dark level correction (dark pixel clamping), the gain (PGA) and offset correction and finally the analog to digital conversion on 12-bit. Note: PGA stands for Programmable Gain Array
The camera is powered by a single DC power supply from 12V to 24V. The functional interface (data and control) is provided with the Camera Link interface. The camera uses the base configuration of Camera Link standard. Note: DVAL = 1 and FVAL = 0
The data can be delivered either on two channels or on a single multiplexed channel. The data format can be configured in 8-, 10- or 12-bit. The camera can be used with external triggers (TRIG1 and TRIG2 signals) in different trigger modes (see “Synchronization Mode” on page 6). The camera can be also clocked externally, allowing system synchronization and/or multi-camera synchronization. The camera configuration and settings are performed via a serial line.
This interface is used for:
? Gain, offset setting
? Dynamic range, data rate setting
? Trigger mode setting: free run or external trigger modes
? Integration time setting: in free running and external trigger mode
The cameras have been tested in the following conditions:
? Shielded power supply cable
? Camera Link® data transfer cable ref. 14B26-SZLB-500-OLC (3M
? Linear AC-DC power supply
? e2v recommends using the same configuration to ensure the compliance with the following standards
AViiVA Cameras comply with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
? This device may not cause harmful interference, and
? This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
