Page 7: Introduction
512, 1024 and 2048 pixel line scan image capture is offered at 20 or 40 megapixels/second, depending on the camera model selected. Each camera uses a PerkinElmer P-series photodiode linear array with 14µm pixel pitch at a 14 µm aperture. This provides a 48dB dynamic range over a spectral range of 350 to 1000 nm. -

Page 10: Receiving And Inspecting Your Camera
Visually inspect each item for absence of damage. In the event of damage, notify the shipper and the PerkinElmer shipping department. Retain all shipping materials for shipper inspection. -
Page 11: Camera Operation Overview
The camera modes are selected selected by the serial connection on the Camera Link connector. The camera communicates at 9600 Baud with 8 data bits, 1 start bit, 1 stop bit, and no parity bits. Refer to PerkinElmer Applications Note ANP- 206.01A-8/2001 LD3500 Serial Command Language for more details. -
Page 12: Master Mode
CCD readout register there must be at least N+70 MCLK cycles between successive LT commands. The LR signal may be held high or left unconnected in slave mode. In this case the integration time is defined as the time between two successive LT rising edges. PerkinElmer™ ™ Optoelectronics... -
Page 13: Line Period Limits
The camera defaults to master mode on power up. If an external LT signal is detected the camera will go into slave mode. If an unintentional LT signal is supplied, the camera must be powered down and restarted to restore the camera to master mode. PerkinElmer™ ™ Optoelectronics... -
Page 14: Mclk Input
Figure 5 Master Mode Timing (LVDS Model) The exposure time in master mode is determined by the line period that is fixed at N+76 clock cycles, where N is the number of pixels. See Table 2 for a listing of PerkinElmer™ ™ Optoelectronics... -

Assuming that an 80 mm lens has been chosen for an LD35XX camera and is installed without an extender and that it is desired to image a 36” (882 mm) web. The following calculations result in the working distance estimate: The estimated working distance then is: 1315 ) " PerkinElmer™ ™ Optoelectronics... -
Page 19: Lens Attachment
The LD3500 series cameras provide threaded mounting holes on the front face of the cameras to allow the attachment of custom lens adapters. The lens mount is a M42 x 1 (Pentax, U-mount) thread. PerkinElmer can provide such optical components as lenses, C and F style lens adapters, extension tubes, and focusing systems. -
Page 20: Connecting Power
The LD3500 camera receives its power from a 6-pin Hirose HR-10A circular connector. The power connector is common to both models.

The frame grabber must be able to accept differential digital video, either parallel LVDS or Camera Link base configuration Contact PerkinElmer for a list of recommended frame grabber vendors. 5.7 Cleaning the Sensor Should the sensor become dirty the user can clean the face taking care to use Isopropyl Alcohol only. -
Page 24: Camera Setup
6.2 Installing the Camera The following is a suggested sequence of steps to physically install the camera: 1. Contact PerkinElmer for recommendations on the frame grabber interface and for the required lens adapter. Attach the lens adapter to the camera and install the lens. -

6.4.3 Video Gain (Camera Link Model) The video gain is set over the Camera Link serial communications connection. Refer to PerkinElmer Applications Note ANP-206.01A-8/2001 LD3500 Serial Command Language for more details. The video gain may be adjusted while the camera is operating and does not require camera power cycling for gain changes to take effect. -
