RMV Release Notes
Thank you for purchasing the RMV digital camera from illunis. The RMV camera uses
the latest technology including the camera link (CL) and Gigabit Ethernet standards with the
following features:
RMV Release operational notes
CCD sensors with one, two and four taps are supported.
CCD sensors from Turesence: All 5.5um sensors and all 7.4um that have 4 tap capa-
bility. Color and monochrome.
Sensor data is sampled at 14bits giving a maximum dynamic range of 72dB
Data is processed as 12 bit data and output as camera link data in 8,10, or 12 bits
Digital data is tap reordered (TRO), corrected for bad pixels (PDM), and a lookup table
(LUT) is applied.
Image data can be overlaid with text, line plots and column plots.
Image data is measured with specialized detectors for brightness, sharpness, tap
matching, noise, raster size and exposure time. These detectors can be read as raw
data or as processed into appropriate scientific values.
Image exposure can be in free run and external triggered modes.
Image data can be read as a partial scan (PS) on sensors that support the function.
Image processing of DGO, PDM, LUT, PS can be enabled independently in free run
mode and trigger mode.
Analog processing includes gain, offset and dark current compensation.
Analog gain is fixed at the factory and a digital gain is provided for the user Digital gain
(DGO) is from zero to 16 times and is performed in 12 bit resolution.
Analog and digital gain is performed independently for each sensor tap.
Functions are provided for common control of gains and offsets.
Data is output in the industry standard camera link format.
Camera communication initializes at 9600 baud and can be increased to 115,200 baud.
Image data is read as either active pixels or as all pixels in an over scan mode.
Sensor dark current correction is performed with an automatic line or frame clamp.
A STROBE output signal is available for applications that require a electronic signal in-
dicating actual exposure of the sensor.
A look up table (LUT) is provided at 12 bits resolution equal to the full dynamic range of
the data path.
The camera is communicated with in data packets that are error checked.
The camera has a temperature sensor that is placed at the hottest part of the camera.
The camera is set in modes and has five registers that indicate the current mode set.
The camera has two registers that indicate operational status.
The camera state can be saved to EEPROM and restored on power up.
The camera state can be save to or loaded from a file.
The camera state, as it left the factory, is saved by illunis and can be sent via email,
A graphical user interface (GUI) is provided for convenient control of the camera func-
tions. This program is visual basic based and source code is available.
