The camera will recognize a command as three command characters, followed by a space
character (or “?” in the case of a query), followed by an argument that consists of one or more
characters, ended by the carriage return and line feed characters. The camera responds to a
valid command with a carriage return and line feed (CR-LF).
3.3 Error Codes
The camera responds to an erroneous command or query by presenting the user with an error
code. The error codes and an explanation for each code are contained in Appendix A of this
manual.
3.4 Control Commands
NOTE : This section of the manual contains the commands and arguments in bold type. The
carriage return and line feed at the end of each command are not shown, as they are
required in every instance.
3.4.1 Readout Channels
Use this command to switch to single channel operation.
Suggestion : Set the camera frame rate to 8 fps (frames per second) using the FRS command
before changing the number of readout channels. Otherwise, the camera may change the frame
rate. See the valid frame rates versus readout channels listed on page 3.5 within the FRS
command description.
TYPE IN: RESPONSE EXPLANATION
RDM 1 CR-LF Sets the camera to single channel readout.
RDM 2 CR-LF Sets the camera to dual channel readout.
RDM? Queries the camera’s current readout.
RDM x Means the readout is set as indicated.
3.4.2 Mode Control
The
Mega Plus camera operates in one of six modes: continuous, continuous fluoroscopy,
controlled, trigger, and double exposure. The mode of operation is selected by the MODE
command. The timing waveforms in Chapter Four may help you understand the different modes
of operation.
3.4.3 Continuous
The camera will take pictures at 15 fps in 2K x 2K binning mode, 30 fps in 1K x 1K binning mode,
and 60 fps in 512 x 512 mode. The camera can be synchronized to an external trigger source
through the TRIGGER input on the rear panel of the camera or the EXPOSE input of the digital
interface connector.
When multiple cameras are driven from the same trigger source, they will be synchronized to
each other within ±100 nanoseconds. The exposure time range is between 91 microseconds and
64.957 milliseconds in 2K x 2K binning mode. The exposure time range is between 92
microseconds and 32.451 microseconds in 1K x 1K binning mode. The exposure time range for
the 512 x 512 binning mode is approximately 98 microseconds to 16.2 milliseconds.
