  • Page 25: Operation

    CCD Data Acquisition Module C9266-03/C9266-04 3. Operation The C9266-03/C9266-04 comes with dedicated application software (C9266DCamAPL). Use this software for control of C9266-03/C9266-04 and data acquisition. For information on how to use the C9266DCamAPL software, refer to the separate "C9266DCamAPL Instruction Manual" that also comes with the C9266-03/C9266-04.
  • Page 26: Functions

    C9266DCamAPL software. Gain adjustment Use to adjust the C9266-03/C9266-04 hardware gain in steps from 1 to 10. The output data increases linearly with the gain setting value. Default value is “1”. A conversion gain value (48.8e-/ADU typ.) described in "5.1 Specifications" is the value in case of gain equal to "1".
  • Page 27 Because there is not a BNC connector, this mode is not usable in the C9266-04. Exposure time adjustment Use to adjust the C9266-03/C9266-04 hardware exposure time for CCD in steps from 1 to 65,535 mSec. But in the case of "EXT.EDGE1" data acquisition mode, it ranges from 41 to 65,535 mSec.
