  • Page 12: Introduction To High Speed Motion Analysis

    â MotionScope PCI High Speed Video System 1 INTRODUCTION TO HIGH SPEED MOTION ANALYSIS The MotionScope High Speed Digital Imaging System records a sequence of digital images of an event at a frame rate of 60 to 8000 frames per second, depending on the model of video system used.

  • Page 13: The Imager Responsivity Curves

    REDLAKE MASD, INC. The Imager Responsivity Curves The camera head has either the TC236 (color) or TC237 (monochrome) CCD imager. These imagers have the same characteristics. The imaging sensor has an image area of 658 (H) x 496 (V) pixels, each pixel being 7.4 microns square.

  • Page 15: The Extended Record Option

    REDLAKE MASD, INC. The trigger input stops the sequence on the frame where the event occurred. You can set the Trigger Point to record part of the sequence before the event, and the remainder after the event. This insures that the event shows on Frame 0 of the sequence, which synchronizes the elapsed time on each frame in the sequence to the event.

  • Page 16: Synchronizing Two Or More Motionscope Systems

    â MotionScope PCI High Speed Video System The system records the events and assigns a sequential frame number to each frame. However, if the rate of recording frames varies from a record rate of 60, 125, 250, 500, 1000, 2000 or 8000 frames per second, the elapsed time (ET) displayed on the Playback window will not be the true elapsed time.

  • Page 17: Stop Recording Using The Trigger

    REDLAKE MASD, INC. 1.5.2 Stop Recording using the Trigger The camera also stops recording when it receives a signal through the Trigger input. Recording stops at the frame determined by the Trigger Point setting, see Figure1-8. The trigger can be set...

  • Page 18: Saving A Sequence In A Computer File

    â MotionScope PCI High Speed Video System 1.5.5 Saving a Sequence in a Computer File. Images recorded in the image memory will be lost if another recording is made. Therefore any video data required later must be stored in a computer file before making another recorded sequence.

  • Page 19: Analyzing The Motion Of A Subject

    REDLAKE MASD, INC. 1.6.2 Analyzing the Motion of a Subject The MotionScope system provides several features to examine a recorded sequence, whether the sequence is still in the image memory or has been recorded and retrieved from a computer file. These features are available on all models.

  • Page 23: The Data Record Inputs

    REDLAKE MASD, INC. The Strobe signal is a TTL pulse generated by U2 on the Controller board, a 74AC244 device, shown in Figure 2-2. The output is through a lead to a BNC connector on the camera cable labeled “STROBE”. The user must supply a coax cable terminated with a female BNC connector.

  • Page 24: The Phase-Lock Input And Output

    â MotionScope PCI High Speed Video System 1. The signal input is held at +5 volts. A contact closure to ground caused by the Trigger pulls the input to 0 volts to stop recording. This presents a falling signal edge to the trigger input so you must check the Falling box in the Trigger dialog box.
