General Description
The aim of this manual is to present the procedure of installation and associated
precautions to take when using the IRXCAM INO160THz camera module. The technical
specifications and examples of THz imaging are also provided. This document contains
general information about the product, as well as recommendations for its use.
The IRXCAM camera module is based on an uncooled bolometric sensor specially
designed to provide high sensitivity imaging in the terahertz region (optimized at 100
m
wavelength or 3 THz) from a 160
X
120 focal plane array (FPA) sensor. This module is
designed specifically for developers and integrators. It provides the raw data of the digital
sensor (16-bit, 30 frames per second). The user is then able to select the most appropriate
post-processing treatment method depending on the application. The IRXCAM camera
module provides real-time access to sensor parameters. The user can define the
observation window or adjust the gain and integration time to the dynamic range of the
scene.
The IRXCAM camera module is simple and easy to operate. All functions are controlled
via the IRXCAM software. The starting procedure includes connections between the
camera and the computer via the RJ-45 Ethernet cable, and the +12VDC power supply
and the camera. The user should allow a few minutes for the module warm up before
launching the IRXCAM software. An image is automatically displayed at the startup. It is
obtained from current raw data and last active gain correction, pixel replacements and
offset table.
