10 I-PentaMAX System Manual Version 3.A
Switching between the two channels is completely under software control for total
experiment automation. Data is transferred directly to the host computer memory via a
high-speed serial link. Standard composite video, either RS-170 (EIA) or CCIR,
whichever was ordered, is also provided.
The camera interfaces to a host computer via a high-speed serial link (twisted pair or
fiber optic cable) for immediate data transfer to computer memory. The optional fiber
optic connection allows the computer to be remotely located at distances as great as two
kilometers with no signal degradation.
There is provision for extremely flexible readout of the CCD. Readout modes supported
include full resolution, simultaneous multiple subimages, and nonuniform binning.
Single or multiple software-defined regions of interest can also be tested without having
to digitize all the pixels of the array. Completely flexible exposure, set through software,
is also fully supported.
Power for the camera comes from a separate temperature controller/power supply unit,
which can be located up to 15 feet from the camera. This unit features a digital display
for setting the CCD temperature and for monitoring the current CCD temperature.
Front-panel indicators continuously indicate the temperature control status.
With its fully integrated design, advanced exposure control timing, and sophisticated
readout capabilities, the I-PentaMAX system is well suited to low light macro imaging
and microscopy applications.
