MANUAL for ALPHALAS Advanced Digital CCD Line Camera: CCD-S3600-D(-UV) [PDF]
Overview of the CCD-S3600-D(-UV): The CCD-S3600-D(-UV) is a complete and ready to use advanced high-speed digital CCD line scan camera. The device includes many unique features. At the same time it is easy to use, very compact, lightweight and does not require an external power supply. The high-sensitivity linear CCD sensor array contains 3648 active pixels and covers a wide spectral range. The sensor is controlled by complex fully FPGA-driven hardware. Other high-end components like 16-bit ADC, 32 MB DDR2 RAM & Hi-Speed USB assure high precision, large data storage & high speed. Highlights include high frame rates with no missing frames, precise control over parameters (e.g. integration time), trigger in & out, multiple operating modes and a unique data streaming mode. The CCD-S3600-D(-UV) is suitable for novice users who need to simply acquire light intensity data as well as advanced users and experts who want to "squeeze out" each of the advanced capabilities of the device. The CCD camera supports all major OS and can be interfaced from many programming languages, allowing unlimited post-processing possibilities. Acquisition & Viewer software, always up-to-date USB drivers, interfacing libraries and well-commented applications for LabVIEW and C++ are included free of charge. Python interfacing and GUI code has been developed by Koen Schouten, Institute of Physics, Leiden University, Netherlands and kindly open-sourced under GPLv3. The CCD line camera represents an ideal cost-effective solution for numerous applications in science, research, education and OEM. Features & Highlights:
