PowerConnector
Figure 4: Hirose 6-pin Circular Male—Power Connector Table 3: Hirose Pin Description
The camera requires a single voltage input (+12 to +15VDC). The camera meets all performance
specifications using standard switching power supplies, although well-regulated linear supplies provide
optimum performance.
WARNING: When setting up the camera’s power supplies follow these guidelines:
•Apply the appropriate voltages
•Protect the camera with a fast-blow fuse between power supply and camera.
•Do not use the shield on a multi-conductor cable for ground.
•Keep leads as short as possible to reduce voltage drop.
•Use high-quality linearsupplies to minimize noise.
•Use an isolated type power supply to prevent LVDS common mode range violation.
Note: Camera performance specifications are not guaranteed if your power supply does not meet these
requirements.
Teledyne DALSA offers a power supply with attached 6’ power cable that meets the Piranha HS camera’s

InputSignals,CameraLink
The camera accepts control inputs through the Camera Link MDR26F connector.
The camera ships in internal sync, internal programmed integration (exposure mode 7) TDI Mode.
EXSYNC (Triggers Frame Readout)
Frame rate can be set internally using the serial interface. The external control signal EXSYNC is optional
and enabled through the serial interface. This camera uses the falling edge of EXSYNC to trigger pixel
readout. See section Exposure Mode and Line/Frame Rate for details on how to set frame times, exposure
times, and camera modes.
Direction Control
You control the CCD shift direction through the serial interface. With the software command, scd, you
determine whether the direction control is set via software control or via the Camera Link control signal
on CC3. Refer to section Setting the Camera’s CCD Shift Direction for details.
OutputSignals,CameraLink
These signals indicate when data is valid, allowing you to clock the data from the camera to your
acquisition system. These signals are part of the Camera Link configuration and you should refer to the
Teledyne DALSA Camera Link Implementation Road Map, available at the Knowledge Center, for the
standard location of these signals.

OpticalInterface
Illumination
The amount and wavelengths of light required to capture useful images depend on the particular
application. Factors include the nature, speed, and spectral characteristics of objects being imaged,
exposure times, light source characteristics, environmental and acquisition system specifics, and more.
It is often more important to consider exposure than illumination. The total amount of energy (which is
related to the total number of photons reaching the sensor) is more important than the rate at which it
arrives. For example, 5µJ/cm2can be achieved by exposing 5mW/cm2for 1ms just the same as exposing
an intensity of 5W/cm2for 1µs.
LightSources
Keep these guidelines in mind when setting up your light source:
LED light sources are relatively inexpensive, provide a uniform field, and longer life span compared to
other light sources. However, they also require a camera with excellent sensitivity, such as the HN-xx
camera.
Halogen light sources generally provide very little blue relative to infrared light (IR).
Fiber-optic light distribution systems generally transmit very little blue relative to IR.
Some light sources age; over their life span they produce less light. This aging may not be uniform—a
light source may produce progressively less light in some areas of the spectrum but not others.
Filters
In visible light applications, CCD cameras are extremely responsive to infrared (IR) wavelengths of light.
To prevent infrared from distorting the images you scan, use a “hot mirror” or IR cutoff filter that
transmits visible wavelengths but does not transmit wavelengths over 750nm. Examples are the
Schneider Optics™ B+W 489, which includes a mounting ring, the CORION™ LS-750, which does not
include a mounting ring, and the CORION™ HR-750 series hot mirror.
In NIR imaging applications, a visible light cutoff filter is recommended.
LensModeling
Any lens surrounded by air can be modeled for camera purposes using three primary points: the first and
second principal points and the second focal point. The primary points for a lens should be available
from the lens data sheet or from the lens manufacturer. Primed quantities denote characteristics of the
image side of the lens. That is, his the object height and h
′ is the image height.
The focal point is the point at which the image of an infinitely distant object is brought to focus. The
effective focal length (f
′ )is the distance from the second principal point to the second focal point. The back
focal length (BFL) is the distance from the image side of the lens surface to the second focal point. The
object distance (OD) is the distance from the first principal point to the object.

Piranha HN commands perform similarly to older cameras.
Serial Protocol Defaults
•8 data bits
•1 stop bit
•No parity
•No flow control
•115,200 kbps (fixed)
•Camera does not echo characters
Command Format
When entering commands, remember that:
•A carriage return <CR> ends each command.
•A space or multiple space characters separate parameters. Tabs or commas are invalid parameter
separators.
•Upper and lowercase characters are accepted
•The backspace key is supported
•The camera will answer each command with either <CR><LF> “OK >" or <CR><LF>"Error xx: Error
Message >" or <CR><LF>“Warning xx: Warning Message >”. The ">" is used exclusively as the last
character sent by the camera.
The following parameter conventions are used in the manual:
•i= integer value
•f= real number
•m= member of a set
•s= string
•t= tap id

There are two different help screens available. One lists all of the available commands to configure
camera operation. The other help screen lists all of the commands available for retrieving camera
parameters (these are called “get” commands).
To view the help screen listing all of the camera configuration commands, use the command:
Syntax:
h
To view a help screen listing all of the “get” commands, use the command:
Syntax:
gh
Notes: For more information on the camera’s “get” commands, refer to
Returning Camera Settings.
The camera configuration command help screen lists all commands available. Parameter ranges
displayed are the extreme ranges available. Depending on the current camera operating conditions, you
may not be able to obtain these values. If this occurs, values are clipped and the camera returns a warning
message.
Some commands may not be available in your current operating mode. The help screen displays NA in
this case.
