AUX connector specification Voltage should be supplied for interface from device connected to. • o Connector is isolated from HSC-2 voltage domains. o Voltage range: 1.65V – 5.5V, Used buffer: SN74LVC1T45 o Interface is enabled only when voltage is supplied.
This can be done for example ON-ON type control o TRIG pin is tied to GND with 10kΩ resistor internally TRIG pin impedance is high, IO-Power consumption is very low. • TRIG IO power can be connected independently, regardless of HSC-2 power supply • IO-Power 2.8-5V Trigger event...
Attaching the HSC-2 to a Drone. When using the HSC-2 camera in drones it is always advisable to use professional gimbal, compatible with drone. Gimbal insulate drone vibrations and keep camera steady. Use also high-quality drones. HSC-2 requirements when used in drone: Safe and sturdy installation.
Power connector type (in cable): Barrel Plug, 2.5mm I.D. x 5.5mm O.D. Positive Center. GPS in Drone Use Internal Antenna for Integrated GPS is located so, that is functional in most cases when HSC-2 is attached to Drones. Location is just front to GPS external antenna connector. Antenna is sensitive to all directions...
Imaging from a distance When the HSC-2 camera is used to image from a great distance, it is useful to consider the affect of the resolution of the image. The graph below shows the size what one pixel sees at a given imaging distance. For example, when the image is taken 100m from the target, the image is formed from 65mm x 65 mm resolution.
Senop HSI Software Senop Hyperspectral camera HSC-2 can be used as a standalone device but HSI software or some other compatible software is needed to initialize or control the device. Senop HSI-2 Software can be used to: Viewing live image for camera •...

Power up the HSC-2 device by connecting the DC Voltage cable and connect the Ethernet cable between the HSC-2 and a PC. Start the Senop HSI-2 Software. On the Device tab, press the + sign. On the opened window, 25247...
select your device from the Available Devices list and click OK. The device will now be listed as Available on Your devices list. Click on the device to connect. Wait until the device is connected and the status of the device is switched to CONNECTED.
Radiometric in the units of mw/(m *nm*sr). The selection can be done from the drop-down menu at the top right corner. The image shown on the top left corner of the software can be saved by clicking the -button on the top of the window and selecting SAVE AS IMAGE.
Multiple sequences can be added to a script and their order can be changed by using the ARRANGE button. In order to measure with the created script, it needs to be transferred to the HSC-2 camera. After the Script Name has been created, click -button from the Script Creator window and select UPLOAD.
Importing the data to the PC The data taken with the script, is saved into the HSC-2 internal memory. To analyze the data, it needs to be transferred to a PC. The data can be imported with the HSC-2 software by pressing IMPORT-button on the Device sheet.
Open the data cube in HSI-2 software To open the stored data cube, press the open icon at the DATA VISUALIZATION sheet. Select the desired sequence from the folder and click OK. The data cube opens, and the spectrum can be viewed by clicking the image.
There is a .png preview images of every frame, the actual data in Envi file format and a header file, which contains information about the recording parameters. By default, HSC-2 uses ENVI type image cubes. .dat file is ENVI type flat binary file.

Updating the device software (firmware) The HSC-2 camera software can be updated using the HSI-2 software. First, you should have received a software package from an authorized dealer. The software is packaged in -tar.xz file format. The package should be extracted using for example 7zip software or similar. The xz-package should be extracted first and then the tar-package.
