  • Page 7: Introduction

    2 – Introduction 2 Introduction Thank you for choosing a FLIR X-series science camera! The X-series cameras are some of the fastest commercial infrared cameras in the world, and they were designed with the high-end infrared camera user in mind.
  • Page 8: System Overview

    *NOTE: SLS upper cutoff tolerance is +/- 0.5um 2.3 System Overview The X-Series infrared camera systems have been developed by FLIR to meet the needs of the research, industrial and range phenomenology communities. The X8500sc camera makes use of FLIR’s advanced ISC1308 readout integrated circuit (ROIC), mated to an Indium Antimonide (InSb) detector to cover the shortwave and midwave infrared bands and an SLS array for longwave infrared.

    These presets can be used in either Superframing or Preset Sequencing modes. Factory Calibrations Most variants of the X-Series cameras can be purchased with radiometric calibrations that are performed in the calibration laboratory in Niceville, Florida using NIST-traceable calibration sources.
  • Page 10 2 – Introduction Adjustable Digital Gains and Offsets The X-Series cameras allow the user to adjust digital gains and offsets per preset, making it possible to map only the linear portion of the FPA to the full range of digital count values.
  • Page 11 The X6800 camera does not support an IRIG-B input. 4-position filter wheel The X-Series cameras have internal motorized filter wheels that can position a warm filter between the lens and detector. The filters can be installed by the user and the filter holders support automatic identification.

    4 Installation 4.1 Basic Connections All connections to the X-series cameras are located on the Back Panel. Although the X6900 and X8500 cameras have a large number of connections, only a small number are required for basic operation. The X6800 is a simplified version of the X6900 camera with fewer connections.

  • Page 19 Activates all controller features. Advanced NOTE: The X-series cameras have two internal clocks: A Real Time Clock (RTC) and an IRIG clock. The RTC is a low resolution clock used to keep system time. The RTC has a battery backup and will retain time while the camera is off. The IRIG clock is a high resolution (microsecond) clock.

Three correction types are available and are described in the table below. The Correction Status area will show messages and prompt the user to complete certain tasks such as place a blackbody in the field of view.

    5 – X-series Camera Controller 5.4.2 Setup Page In Advanced mode, the Setup page allows the user to configure each camera preset, set integration time (or calibration range), frame rate, windowing, sync, and filter wheel options. The Setup Page has four tabs: Presets, Window, Sync, and Filter/Flag.

  • Page 29: Presets Tab

    A Preset is a combination of four parameters: Integration Time, Frame Rate, Window Size, and Window Location. The X-series can store up to four presets in internal memory. The user can switch from one preset to another manually, using the GUI, or the camera can automatically switch using Preset Sequencing or Superframing.
  • Page 30: Preset Sequencing Mode

    5 – X-series Camera Controller TIP: The controller often provides additional information using tooltips. Mouse over just about any control or indicator to see information about the current setting or about the bounds of valid values for the control. Frame Sync...
  • Page 31 5 – X-series Camera Controller The camera will stay at each preset for a number of frames set in the Dwell column. This setting is the dwell time (in frames) for each preset. A dwell time of zero tells the camera to skip that preset and proceed to the next non-zero preset.
  • Page 32: Superframing Mode

    In traditional Preset Sequencing you can only adjust integration time and dwell for each preset. The X-series incorporates Optimized Preset Sequencing. This allows the user to set integration time, dwell, and frame rate for each preset. This is depicted in the diagram below.
  • Page 33 5 – X-series Camera Controller Superframing is a subset of preset sequencing with dwell counts of 0 (unchecked) or 1 (checked) and optimized frame rates for each preset. The user enables the checkbox for each preset they wish to include in the Superframing. The “superframe rate” is the rate at which the entire group of included presets is generated.

  • Page 36: Sync Tab

    A sync is a signal that synchronizes the timing of an individual frame. A trigger is a signal that synchronizes the start of a sequence of frames. The X-series has independent SYNC and TRIGGER inputs. The SYNC and TRIGGER IN input require a 3.3V TTL pulse (5V max).
  • Page 37: Sync Mode

    Sync Mode 5.4.2.3.1.1 Frame Sync Starts The X-series makes use of frame syncs and triggers to control the generation of image data. Again, frame syncs control the start of individual frames whereas triggers start sequences of frames. The generation of a frame consists of two phases: integration and data readout. Depending on the timing between these two events, you can have two basic integration modes: Integrate Then Read (ITR) and Integrate While Read (IWR).
  • Page 38 5 – X-series Camera Controller NOTE: When using an external frame sync and preset sequencing or superframing, the external frame sync should be set to comply with ITR frame rate limits. If the external sync rate is too fast, the...
  • Page 39: Sync Source

    5 – X-series Camera Controller When a trigger occurs, the camera will complete a sequence a set number of times. For example, if Preset Sequencing is used with a dwell of two frames set for all four presets, each trigger would generate 8 frames.
  • Page 40 5 – X-series Camera Controller Sync Sources The frame sync is generated internally to run at the frequency Internal set by the user The frame sync is generated externally through the Sync In External connect on the camera rear chassis.

  • Page 43: Filter Wheel Controls

    5.4.2.4.2 Filter Wheel Controls The X-series has a motorized 4-position filter wheel. Warm filters are held in the wheel by a removable filter holder. Each holder can hold up to two filters with a combined thickness of 2mm. The holders have an ID number that is encoded using a set of magnets. The camera can recognize the ID number.

  • Page 45: One-Point Correction Process

    5 – X-series Camera Controller To create the NUC table, the camera images either one or two uniform temperature sources. The source can be an external source provided by the user or the camera’s internal NUC flag which is basically a shutter the camera places in front of the detector. If the source is external it should be uniform and large enough to overfill the cameras field-of-view (FOV).
  • Page 46: Update Offset

    One-Point Correction because those tables have a value of one (“1”) as the gain coefficients. The Twinkler test can be done on either correction process. The X-series camera uses the Nearest Neighbor algorithm for bad pixel replacement, a simple replacement using an adjacent pixel. The adjacent pixel is picked using the pattern depicted below.

    5.4.3.3 Video Setup Tab The X-series cameras have a 14-bit digital output. However, the video output is only 8-bit. An Automatic Gain Control (AGC) algorithm is used to map the 14-bit digital to the 8-bit analog data. The Video Tab provides controls related to optimizing the Analog video output.
