Dead Pixels
– pixels with sensitivity that deviates more than 15% due to
fluctuations in the CMOS manufacturing process.
2.
Hot Pixels
– pixels that during normal camera operation are normal, but in long
integration modes (programmable frame time) behave as high-intensity bright
pixels.
Terminal:
The user can display two panels: Command Terminal and a download utility.
Command Terminal
– shows information about all the commands sent to or received
from the camera. User can type in Cheetah command directly in the text box provided –
Figure 5.5. All commands must start with
0x
followed by
ADDRESS
and
DATA
, without
spaces – refer to chapter 4 for more information. The “Disable Polling” check box will turn
on/off the polling commands (such as Frame Time, Exposure time, Frame Rate and Sensor
Temperature) in the dialog windows. The user can change the polling time by entering the
desired number in the window. If for some reason the camera returns an error, when
command was sent to the camera, the GUI will respond with a pop-up window displaying
an error message. The user has option to disable the error checking by enabling the
“Disable Error Checking” box.
