KAE Family Evaluation Kit
Quick Start Guide
This guide will help you get up and running using the KAE
family of sensors with the ON Semiconductor G3 hardware
and SensorStudio software.
Before You Start
•
Evaluation Hardware and Supported Image Sensor
The Evaluation Hardware consists of an Imager board
with cooling, FPGA processor board and a lens mount.
•
Optional TE Cooler Controller
The KAE Evaluation kits have a TE cooler. To operate the
cooler (recommended) a controller is required.
The TE cooler/controller have special power supply
requirements. See TE Cooler section.
•
Optional Camera Link Interface
Camera Link is supported (except KAE
−
01093) by the
installing the (optional) Microtronix A6287 HSMC
interface card and using the (optional) Imperx FrameLink
Express frame grabber. See Camera Link section.
•
SensorStudio Software
The most recent version can be downloaded at
•
USB
USB 3.0 is supported.
•
Computer
Windows 7 and Windows 10 64 bit, 2+ GHz processor,
8 GB RAM, USB connection.
•
Power Supply
12 V DC, 2 A, with 2.1 mm center positive DC power
jack.
•
Cables
2 meter USB 3.0 cable is included with the kit.
•
Lens Mount and Lens
A C/CS lens mount is provided with the full KAE
−
01093
and KAE
−
0215X kits. An F mount is provided for the full
KAE
−
0447X and KAE
−
0815X kits. No lens is provided.
For KAE
−
0215X and KAE
−
0447X imager board only
products there is no sensor or lens mount provided.
For the KAE
−
01093 imager board only product there is
no sensor provided but a C type lens mount is provided.
Install SensorStudio Software
Install the software by running the “setup.exe” file, and
check the boxes for installing the USB 3.0 drivers if they
have never been installed. The 64-bit USB3 driver is not
digitally signed. Read
First_InstallerInstructions.pdf
document, which is part of the SensorStudio installer, for
information on driver installation.
Camera Link Hardware and Software
Camera link is a supported option with the KAE0215X
and KAE0447X plugins. It is not supported in the KAE01093
plugin.
Use of Camera Link can double the display rate and is
useful with the larger KAE devices. To use Camera Link you
will need 2 SDR
−
SDR cables to support medium format.
Camera Link is only used for image transfer. You will
always need a USB connection for control.
If you are planning on using Camera Link, you will need
the Imperx frame grabber. For a laptop, use the
VCE
−
CLEX01, which needs an ExpressCard54 interface.
For a desktop use VCE
−
CLPCIE01, which needs a PCIe X1
slot. Consult the instructions in the SDK you download from
Imperx for installing the hardware and software.
Assemble Evaluation Hardware
•
Sensor, Lens Mount
The full KAE Evaluation Kit for KAE
−
0215X and
KAE
−
01093 comes with a C type lens mount installed and
a lens cover. The full KAE Evaluation Kit for
KAE
−
0447X and KAE
−
0815X come with an F mount.
All imager board only products (not the full kit) need to
have the sensor installed. You will need to apply thermal
grease to the cooling system cold finger prior to installing
the sensor.
