The chapter contents are briefly described below. Note: The information provided applies only to the Moment CMOS camera and is not applicable to any other Teledyne Photometrics camera.
C-mount adapter for the Moment. The camera also allows you to install any lens that is compatible with either of these threaded video mounts if its optics do not extend behind the flange of the lens.
• Quick Installation Guide The Moment camera is powered over the USB 3.2 Gen2 connection. While it is recommended that the camera is operated via the USB interface card, the camera can also run on a PCs native USB 3.0 port. All of these hardware components should be included with the shipment.
Reboot the computer when the installation is complete. Installing the USB card The USB 3.1 card included with the Moment camera ensures a stable connection and maximum data is able to be acquired from the camera. Note: The model of USB card shipped with the camera may differ from the one shown in the photo.

Holding the USB card and (being careful not to touch the board components or PCIe bridge pins) insert it with the proper orientation into the open slot.
10 ms (for a maximum 100fps). Of course, there are many challenges to obtaining the same analog performance from each of Moment’s 7 million pixels, whereas a CCD has a single, common output node resulting in a uniform response. The most common problems are...
The dynamic fluctuations must be detected and corrected in real-time. The Moment has several noise filters for this purpose. Defect detection is based on use of a conditional median filter. The 3x3 neighborhood surrounding a pixel is examined.

Moment Scientific CMOS User Manual “Dark” filters work on the low side of the local median, while “Bright” filters work on the high side of the local median. The filter is only applied if the pixel’s value exceeds (or is below) a threshold expressed as a percent of the local median x100.
Cooling The Moment is a global shutter camera. This means that all pixels are electronically shuttered to be receiving light at the same time. As a result, the expose out signal, designed to trigger light sources to only illuminate when the camera is ready, demonstrates straightforward behaviour.
