SECTION 1 Introduction to the CAM/CCD-2KCL.TDI & CAM/CCD-4KCL.TDI High Performance TDI Line Scan Camera 1.1 Camera Highlights Description The Osprey TDI camera series is an ultra-sensitive camera design for use in line scan applications that demand high performance under low light conditions. This series of cameras is based upon Fairchild’s CCD525 array, which is used in the very successful U.S. Postal Service Wide Field of View (WFOV) Camera. The 2K camera versions have 20

1.3 Image Sensor The family of Osprey cameras use the following Fairchild sensors. The 2K x 96 TDI camera uses the CCD525 sensor and the 4K x 96 TDI camera uses the CCD545 sensor. Both sensors have 13µm square pixels on a 13µm pitch with 100% fill factor. Both the CCD525 and CCD545 sensors have been designed with improved blue response. Both sensors are much more sensitive than single line CCDs used in line scan cameras. 1.4 Block Diagram CCD525 2048 x 96 stages Fairchil

1.7 Thermal Considerations The Osprey camera series has been carefully designed to separate the camera electronics from the image sensor. Fairchild Imaging advises that if you are going to do any gain or offset corrections that you perform these functions after the camera has been turned on for at least 15 minutes. To do offset correction, cover the lens with your lens cap and to perform a gain calibration, make sure that you have a good light source. Try to avoid excess te

SECTION 2 Camera Hardware Interface 2.1 Installation Overview Before you integrate your camera into your system you should first determine some basic operating parameters such as what resolution you need. Do you know the speed of the object that your camera will be inspecting? One additional point you want to keep in mind is your lighting requirement. Some other major items that you should identify early on in developing your system is the source of your EXSYNC control signa

SECTION 3 Camera Control TM 3.1 Quick Start with the CameraLink Interface Follow your Frame Grabber manufacturer’s instructions when inserting the frame grabber card into your PC. Be sure that you install the correct configuration software that matches the camera you are using. At this point your camera should already be connected to the DC power supply and connected to the frame grabber in your PC. To communicate with your camera we have created specific commands.
