NOTES:
1. This feature is only active for configurations where all attached heads are
identical. Configurations that utilize mixed heads only support the factory default
pixel clock rate in order to accommodate the requirements of the unlike sensors.
2. Changing pixel clock speed causes the camera to perform initialization of the
timing generators and several associated functions for the new speed. For this
reason, it takes a few seconds for the camera to process the command and
respond.
3. Changing the pixel clock speed while a framegrabber is grabbing live data may
cause the framegrabber to timeout.
4. Some camera heads do not support dual-tap channel balance for two different
clock speeds. If this is true of your camera head, this command will change the
clock speed, but may return a warning status. At higher some clock rates, you
may see imbalance in the image when running in dual tap mode. Check with your
Redlake application engineer to see if your head can be calibrated for two
operation speeds.
ConsoleTempBot: (Read) This feature returns one of three health-monitoring temperatures
from the camera control console (i.e., controller). The value returned is the temperature of
the top of the console processor board. The value is in degrees Celsius. Min: -100, Max:
250
NOTE: For the single-head controller, the bottom and power supply temperature
readings share the same sensor.
ConsoleTempPS: (Read) This feature returns one of three health-monitoring temperatures
from the camera control console (i.e., controller). The value returned is the temperature of
the bottom of the console processor board. The value is in degrees Celsius. Min: -100, Max:
250
ConsoleTempTop: (Read) This feature returns one of three health-monitoring temperatures
from the camera control console (i.e., controller). The value returned is the temperature of
the power supply. The value is in degrees Celsius.Min: -100, Max: 250
DefectConceal: (R/W) Toggles defect concealment for the active camera head. Off/On
DoubleExposureTPD: (R/W) This feature sets/returns the transfer pulse delay for double
exposure trigger mode (Mode 4). The allowable range is 0.1 to 999 µsec in 0.1 µsec
intervals. However, due to CCD timing constraints, the minimum value that the CCD will
actually implement depends on the camera model. For the minimum integration time for your
camera, refer to the appropriate camera specification table in “Camera Component
Specifications” section in the MEGAPLUS User Manual. Min: 0.1 µsec, Max: 999 µsec
ExposureTimeMax: (Read) This feature returns the Value relating to the maximum exposure
time. This value varies based on changes in Binning, CamPixClkSpeed and
SensorTapReadout. Min: 0, Max 999
FlatFieldNormalization: (R/W) This feature controls whether the flat field gain and offset
correction
for the currently selected head is active or not. When “on” all pixel values for the
sensor are corrected with the values specified in the normalization tables. A separate
correction table is maintained for each sensor. Checked/Unchecked
