Camera Basics
Components of the USB uEye SE/RE cameras
The
USB uEye SE
and
RE
cameras have a modular structure consisting of the following
components:
·
USB board, including:
§
a USB 2.0 interface which controls data traffic between the camera and the host PC
§
a micro-controller which controls the digital inputs and outputs, the pixel clock and the image
size
§
an EEPROM where the camera manufacturer, type, and serial number are stored
a 64-byte memory area can be used freely by the user
·
Sensor board. This board includes:
§
the sensor
§
an EEPROM where the camera type is stored
·
Timing board (CCD cameras only)
§
The timing board digitizes the analog output signals of the CCD sensor.
