The Piranha XL XDR Camera

Maximum Trigger (Line) Rate
There are now two configurations of the Piranha XL camera.
•
The high speed configuration PX-HM-16K12X-00-R has a useful operating range from 14 kHz
up to 125 kHz. It will operate below 14 kHz but may experience increased offset associated
with dark current, both on a pixel and global basis.
•
The low speed configuration PX-HM-16K06X-00-R has a useful operating range from 0 kHz
up to 60 kHz. It can achieve defect free stop and start imaging.

Relevant Features: Direction Source, Internal Direction
The Piranha XL camera can accommodate a forward and reverse scan direction. The sensor timing
must follow the image as it moves over its imaging area. If the direction is wrong then the image
will look out of focus, as can be seen in the following figure.
