AM-200CL / AB-200CL
- 7 -
1.
General
The AM-200CL is a 2/3 inch monochrome progressive scan CCD camera and the AB-200CL is the
equivalent Bayer mosaic progressive scan CCD camera. Both have 2 million pixels resolution and 4
tap or 2 tap readouts in the sensor. They provide 68 frames per second for continuous scanning with
1600 x 1200 full pixel resolution. 1 tap output, such as the RGB output of the AB-200CL, is 34 fps.
Both AM-200CL and AB-200CL are suitable for automated optical inspection applications, such as
solid state device inspection or material surface inspection.
They incorporate various processing circuits such as LUT, FFC (Flat Field Compensation), blemish
compensation and Bayer interpolation. The AM-200CL and AB-200CL work in continuous, timed and
trigger width trigger modes for acquisition control. Both cameras also have edge-dump and PIV
modes.
The AM-200CL has H and V binning modes and both the AM-200CL and AB-200CL have an AOI (Area Of
Interest) mode for achieving a faster frame rate with a reduced field of view.
The digital output is through a Camera Link
®
digital interface with 8-bits, 10-bits or 12-bits of
pixel bit depth. For the RGB output, only 8-bits is available.
