Page 29: Nano-Cl Installation
Connecting a Nano-CL to a frame grabber is similar whether using a Teledyne DALSA frame grabber board with Sapera LT SDK or a third party frame grabber with its own SDK. Teledyne DALSA has 2 application notes which cover in detail the installation of a Genie Nano-CL. From our web site http://www.teledynedalsa.com/imaging/knowledge-center/appnotes/...

Note that these three connectors are identical on the two physical case sizes of the Nano-CL • series. The following figure of the Genie Nano-CL back end shows connector and LED locations. See Mechanical Specifications — Nano-CL: for details on the connectors and camera mounting dimensions.
Page 31: Led Indicators
LED Indicators The Genie Nano-CL has one multicolor LED to provide a simple visible indication of camera state, as described below. The Nano-Cl camera link connectors do not have any indicator LEDs but the frame grabber may have LEDS for data connection status.

Page 98: Light Sources
Genie Nano color cameras have a spectral response that extends into near IR wavelengths (as defined for each sensor model in the sensor specification descriptions). Images captured will have washed out color if the sensor response is not limited to the visible light band.
Page 99: Guidelines For Choosing Ir Cut-Off Filters
CMOS sensor cameras. When selecting an IR cut-off filter, choose a near infrared blocking specification of ~650nm. Filters that block at 700nm or longer wavelengths, designed for CCD cameras, are not recommended for Genie Nano color cameras. •...

Point with inserted filter In this example when a glass filter is inserted between the lens and the camera sensor, the focal point is now about 1/3 of the filter thickness behind the sensor plane. Genie Nano filters are specified as 1mm thick.

Page 102: Sensor Handling Instructions
Sensor Handling Instructions This section reviews proper procedures for handling, cleaning, or storing the Genie Nano camera. Specifically the Genie Nano sensor needs to be kept clean and away from static discharge to maintain design performance. Electrostatic Discharge and the Sensor Cameras sensors containing integrated electronics are susceptible to damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD).
