1. INTRODUCTION 

This document provides detailed instructions for the operation of the Eagle XV, liquid cooled, 
Scientific X-ray CCD camera. Raptor Photonics Ltd. reserves the right to change this 
document at any time without notice and disclaims liability for editorial, pictorial, or 
typographical errors. 

 
 

1.1 Scope 

Detailed information is provided on each of the cameras control parameters, as well as 
stating important precautions to take when operating the camera. Each camera control is 
discussed and explained with the use of the XCAP Imaging software from EPIX, which is the 
core plug and play software option that is offered with Raptor cameras. 
 
Photographs of the Camera module, Power Supply and Camera Power Cable are shown in 
Figure 1.
