2. Description This camera is designed with three concepts in mind: accuracy, versatility and easy implementation. ? The same compact mechanical design incorporates all the sensors, from 512 to 4096 pixels. ? e2v manages the whole chain, from the sensor to the camera. The result is a camera able to work up to 12-bit, with a dedicated electronics offering an excellent signal to noise ratio. ? The programmable settings let the user work at different integration time, gain and offset. The external clock and trigger synchronize several cameras.
3. Applications Performance and reliability of this camera make it well suited for the most demanding industrial applications, from web inspection to document scanning, from surface inspection to metrology

5. Camera Description Figure 5-1. Camera Synoptic 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 ?
