Vision system operates in nanoseconds
Vision system operates in nanoseconds The DiCam Pro intensified CCD imaging system is capable of exposure times to 1.5 ns. With a 12-bit dynamic range and a 640 x 480-pixel, 1/2-in. or a 1280 x 1024-pixel, 2/3-in. CCD sensor, the system offers single photon detection and a dynamic range greater than 5 compared to rms noise. A high-speed serial data stream is transferred via a 10-1500-m fiberoptic cable connecting the system camera to a PCI interface board at a 132-Mbyte/s burst rate. A two-stage Peltier cooler with forced-air cooling is regulated at -15°C at VGA and -12°C at SVGA. A SDK is available for Windows 3.11/95/NT and Macintosh.
