Temperature Detector
Temperature of the RMV camera is ob-
tained though a solid state
device located on the CCD
PCB. The temperature sensor is located as close as
possible to the warmest component in the camera. The
temperature sensor doe not read the CCD temperature.

Frame Counter
A Frame Counter
is implemented in the RMV
FPGA. Each frame read has a unique count. You can
read the frame count immediately after the rising edge of
FVAL. The frame counter is displayed in the On Screen

Built In Test
Built In Test (BIT)
is a key feature of the RMV
cameras that indicate hardware, software and communi-
cation faults. Use the status registers to determine the
