Page 51: Operation
Chapter 5: Operation Once the ProEM camera has been installed as explained in the preceding chapters, operation of the camera is straightforward. In most applications you simply establish optimum performance using the Focus {Preview} mode (in WinX, for example), set the target camera temperature, wait until the temperature has stabilized, and then do actual data acquisition in the Acquire mode. -
Page 52: Winx First Light Instructions
ProEM System Manual Issue 3 Briefly: • In Focus {Preview} mode, the number of frames is ignored. A single frame is acquired and displayed, another frame is acquired and overwrites the currently displayed data, and so on until Stop is selected. In WinX, the last frame acquired before Stop is selected can be stored;... -

Page 73: Bias Active Stabilization Engine (Base)
Chapter 5 Operation 5.3.6 Bias Active Stabilization Engine (BASE) All CCDs and EMCCDs produce a baseline output signal even when there is no incident light and the exposure is zero. Camera electronics process this information to produce what is known as a bias image. For quantitative applications, it is critical that the bias reference values be above zero. -
Page 74: Saturation
CAUTION! If you observe a sudden change in the baseline signal, there may be excessive humidity in the camera vacuum enclosure. Turn off the camera and contact Teledyne Princeton Instruments Customer Support. Refer to Contact Information on page 160 for complete information. -
Page 75: Cleaning
Chapter 5 Operation 5.3.9 Cleaning The basic cleaning function is implemented by clean cycles. These cycles start when you turn the camera on and a clean pattern is programmed into the camera. Their purpose is to remove charge that accumulates on the array while the camera not acquiring data (i.e., exposing and reading out the array). -
Page 76: Readout
ProEM System Manual Issue 3 • Clean Before Exposure {Clean Before Exposure} is only provided for cameras that have a Frame Transfer CCD and is only available for selection when in Full Frame mode is active. Normally, cleaning occurs until the acquisition starts. When Clean Before Exposure is active, cleaning occurs up until acquisition starts and the entire CCD will be cleaned once right after the readout occurs. -
Page 77: Dual-Readout Port Operation
Chapter 5 Operation The ProEM:1600 and ProEM:1600 models use full frame CCDs with 1600 x 200 and 1600 x 400 active pixels, respectively. NOTE: Typically there are additional rows and columns for internal reference. In standard frame transfer mode, the sensor area is exposed for certain time and the acquired image data are then transferred to frame transfer area before reading the data out via the multiplication gain register or standard serial register. -
Page 78: Controller Gain {Analog Gain
ProEM System Manual Issue 3 • Port #2: Low Noise (Normal CCD) When the camera is using this amplifier, electrons (signal) generated in pixels are clocked through the standard serial register. The amplifier is designed to take advantage of the dynamic range of the CCD and is most useful when the frame rate is not critical. -

Page 81: Binning
Chapter 5 Operation 5.4.5 Binning Binning (combining pixels into one super pixel) allows you to increase the sensitivity and frame rate. On the other hand, binning reduces spatial resolution. ProEM supports flexible vertical binning and binning of 2x-32x in the horizontal. When binning in WinX, keep in mind that the resulting number of super pixels in the horizontal must be evenly divisible by 4. -

Page 85: Full Frame (Sequential) Mode For Frame-Transfer Emccd
Chapter 5 Operation 5.4.6.2 Full Frame (Sequential) Mode for Frame-Transfer EMCCD Full Frame mode allows you to expose the array for the exposure time specified in the software and is similar in performance to a normal, full-frame CCD device. The operational sequence for this mode is: Clearing the CCD. -

Page 101: Kinetics Timing Modes And Shutter Control
Chapter 6 Advanced Topics 6.4.2 Kinetics Timing Modes and Shutter Control For Kinetics, the timing modes are Free Run {No Response}, Single Trigger {Readout Per Trigger}, and Multiple Trigger {Shift Per Trigger}. Free run {No Response} mode is used for experiments that do not require any synchronization with the experiments. The other two modes (i.e., Single Trigger and Multiple Trigger,) require that an external TTL pulse be applied to the camera via the Trigger In connector on the I/O cable. -

ProEM System Manual Issue 3 In multiple trigger {Shift Per Trigger} mode, each exposure-shift cycle is triggered independently by a pulse applied at the Ext Sync connector. This mode is useful when each subframe needs to be synchronized with a pulsed external light source such as a laser. -

Page 108: Summary
ProEM System Manual Issue 3 6.5.1 Summary Spectra-Kinetics is a powerful feature that allows a burst of subframes to be captured with microsecond time resolution. However, careful attention must be paid to the optical and timing considerations: • The rows closest to the serial register need to be illuminated. As can be seen in Figure 58, these rows are immediately below the frame transfer area. -

And, unlike both Binning and ROI, Custom Chip also relies on array masking to ensure that no light falls outside the currently set active area. To take full advantage of the outstanding speed offered by Teledyne Princeton Instruments ProEM:1600 cameras for spectral data acquisition, users need to utilize the Custom Chip {Custom Sensor} and Custom Timing modes via Teledyne Princeton Instruments WinX or LightField software. -
