ESPROS epc901 Manual

General Description

The Evaluation Kit epc901 is a fully assembled and tested system
for the evaluation of the the epc901 line imager. The Evaluation Kit
consists of an epc901 camera module, a mainboard, cables and
software.
The "Evaluation" main section is equipped with a STM32 ARM Cor-
tex micro controller. This section provides a powerful and flexible
development environment for the design engineer. It supports all
the epc901 line imager camera module.
The camera module comes equipped with an epc901 line imager
chip. The module includes a complete lens system and a camera
cable connects it to the mainboard, allowing a flexible and conve-
nient placement in a lab setup.
