Getting Started Guide
This guide is divided into four sections. The first covers mechanical mounting of the camera, optic, and
connecting to the camera inputs and outputs. The second section covers frame grabber options and
installation. The third section covers SUI Image Analysis software, and the fourth guides the user in
powering on the camera for the first time. Users are strongly advised to review these four sections prior to
powering on the camera.
Specific steps are bolded and indented.
2.1.
Mechanical Mounts, Optics, and Electrical Connections
The CSX camera comes equipped with mounting provisions on all four sides (left, right, top, bottom).
Two threaded holes are present on each side, separated by 19.1mm and set back 3.0mm from the front
flange. Refer to Section 2.1.1 Mechanical Mounts for detailed dimensions.
The lens mount is a 1-inch hole with 32 threads/inch, which adheres to the C-mount standard 1-32 UN
2A. However, the camera back focal distance (flange to FPA) is not C-mount compliant and requires the
included C-mount spacer to match the C-mount standard. This hybrid mounting plate design permits
adapting the camera to a variety of standard lens mount formats, especially those with short back focal
distances. See Section 2.1.2 Optical Mounts and Other Optical Considerations for additional details.
There are two electrical connections on the back of the camera, as well as a status indicating LED, which
is described in Section 5.15 Thermal Commands. The larger connector is a 26-pin Shrunk Delta Ribbon
(SDR) standard connector which carries the Camera Link compatible video signal and LVDS serial
communication (serial over Camera Link), as detailed in Section 2.1.4. The smaller 14 pin SDR standard
connector carries power, trigger, and sync, which are fully detailed in Section 2.1.3.
