1 Introduction 1.1 Atlas The Atlas 2D analysis system is the ultimate 2D imaging CCD combined Spectrometer choices with a spectrometer. The Atlas combines two fundamentally different Spectral engine (380nm-780nm) devices in one solution giving it unprecedented capabilities and flexibility.
GUI software supplied on USB connector the USB stick Camera ethernet connector 2.2 Power connections Atlas has a single power supply. Always make sure to use the one supplied by Admesy. Others are not guaranteed to work and may even damage the Atlas.
You can install our standard GUI or you can make you own GUI. The engine software is the heart of the Atlas, it takes care of everything. It controls the Atlas, it takes care of the calculation necessary for 2D analysis (mura, uniformity…etc).
4.4 Atlas controlled remotely The graphical user interface sends commands trough TCP/IP from a different PC to the Atlas engine which on its turn takes care of the received command and sends back data to the GUI if applicable. Each software packages is on a different PC.
5 Device drivers 5.1 Atlas engine In order to run the Atlas both the GigE driver and the NI-VISA are necessary. Atlas is only supported under 64 bit systems. NI-VISA GigE Windows 7 (64 bit) · · Windows 8 (64 bit) Not tested¹...
6.2 Command structure Every command starts with a colon “ : ”, which identifies the root of the The functions of the Atlas can be best described via the following categories. command tree. Each further keyword is also separated a colon. In case parameters need to be specified, the last keyword and parameters are ...
6.3 Data communication Write and read for 2D data commands Every command starts with a colon “ : ”, which identifies the root of the command tree. Each further keyword is also separated by a colon. In case parameters need to be specified, the first parameters is separated by a Send ASCII command terminated with CRLF.
7.2 System commands In below chapters an overview is given for every command. After that a The following commands can be used to control the Atlas or read back detailed description is given in combination with an example. Termination information. System commands are general commands.
The result can be seen in table below: 7.2.2 :*RST? Device Description The settings of the Atlas engine are reset to the original settings of the 8MP RGB + spectrometer selected project. Example: 8MP RGB + spectrometer + flicker unit Write...
7.2.9 :SYSTem:WAIT 7.2.12 :SYSTem:CONFig? A wait time in ms can be added in the flow. Example: Returns hardware configuration. Example: Write :SYSTem:WAIT ASCII CRLF Write : SYSTem:CONFig? ASCII CRLF Read Pass ASCII CRLF Read ASCII CRLF The return is always a pass. The result can be seen in table below: 7.2.10 :SYSTem:PROJect:OPEN Project settings can be loaded/opened.
:SENSe:WD 1: height Set height(working distance) of atlas to display in mm 7.3.1 :SENSe:FREQ Set frequency of the Device Under Test. Many samples which need to be tested have their own refresh frequency (display 60Hz for example) or a PWM frequency (LED panels, 1kHz).
7.4 Device configuration commands Integration time of the 2D imager is set to 10.000 us (10ms). Configuration commands are used to set parameters of the Atlas that are used by the measurement functions. The settings are used globally by Device Description Min.
Write :SENSe:ADJMin 1,40 ASCII CRLF Spectrometer Read Not Applicable Luminance meter Note: not all Atlas configurations have the luminance/flicker unit incorporated. Target adjustment level of the spectrometer is set to 40%. 7.4.4 :SENSe:MAXInt Device Description Min. level Max. level Recommended level Set maximum allowable integration time when in auto-range mode.
7.4.6 :SENSe:SHUTter Close or open the shutter. Example: Write :SENSe:SHUTter 0,1 ASCII CRLF Read Not Applicable Close the shutter of the 2D CCD imager, 1 is close shutter and 0 is open shutter. Device Description 2D imager Not Applicable, will be added in future Not Applicable, will be added in future...

7.5.4 :CAPTure:XYZImage BLUE After finding the display and calibrating the Atlas 2D imager the real CAPIMG measuring can start. When this command is given the imager takes a image, transforms it to XYZ automatically and stores it in the engine. The XYZ image is stored under the name CAPIMG, which stands for CAPtured IMaGE.
Description Second byte of SGL DFF mura Third byte of SGL CSF mura Fourth byte of SGL Admesy mura First byte of SGL … … Second byte of SGL Third byte of SGL The third parameter is the surrounding used. In the DFF this is also called Fourth byte of SGL the NLE divided by 2.
7.5.7 :CALCulate:UNIFormtity 7.5.8 :GET:2DData The calculate uniformity command calculates the uniformity of the selected With this command it is possible to get all 2D mura or uniformity data, this XYZ image with the defined method and its set surrounding. Example: enables the user to use its owns algorithms on the 2D Mura or Uniformity image.
7.5.9 :MEASure:XYZ In this example we have set the virtual resolution to 5 and 4 giving 20 This command returns the XYZ result of the spectrometer and the clip and display pixels. The first read command will then send us the size of the noise.
7.5.11 :MEASure:YUV 7.5.13 :MEASure:FLICker This command returns the Yu’v’ (luminance and chromaticity) result of the This command returns the flicker value. Example: spectrometer and the clip and noise. Example: Write :MEASure:FLICker 4000,0,3,0 ASCII CRLF Read -60.23 ASCII CRLF Write :MEASure:YUV ASCII CRLF Read...
7.6 Calibration commands When installing the camera for the first time it is necessary to calibrate the Atlas 2D CCD imager for hot-pixels and for dark. Periodically it can happen due to large temperatures change or due to aging that recalibration needs to be done again.
