Description
The 1M60 digital camera provides high-sensitivity 12-bit images with 1k x 1k spatial
resolution at up to 60 frames per second (fps). The 1M60 is a frame transfer CCD
camera using a progressive scan CCD to simultaneously achieve outstanding
resolution and gray scale characteristics. A square pixel format and high fill factor
provide superior, quantifiable image quality even at low light levels.
Applications
The 1M60 is an outstanding performer in fast, very high resolution applications.
True 12 bit performance provides up to 4096 distinct gray levels—perfect for
applications with large interscene light variations. The low-noise, digitized video
signal also makes the camera an excellent choice where low contrast images must be
captured in challenging applications.

CHAPTER 2
2.0 Camera Hardware Interface
2.1 Installation Overview
In order to set up your camera, you should take these initial steps:
1. Power down all equipment.
2. Following the manufacturer’s instructions, install the frame grabber (if
applicable). Be sure to observe all static precautions.
3. Install any necessary imaging software.
4. Before connecting power to the camera, test all power supplies. Ensure that all
the correct voltages are present at the camera end of the power cable (the Camera
Performance Specifications earlier in this document list appropriate
voltages). Power supplies must meet the requirements defined in section 2.4
Power Input.
5. Inspect all cables and connectors prior to installation. Do not use damaged
cables or connectors or the camera may be damaged.
6. Connect data, serial interface, and power cables.
7. After connecting cables, apply power to the camera. The POST (power on
self test) LED on the back of the camera should glow green after one second
to indicate that the camera is operating and ready to receive commands.
2.2 Input/Output
The camera provides 12-bit LVDS data and synchronization signals through the
data output connectors. Camera functions such as frame rate, integration time,
binning, camera gain and offset are all controllable by the user via RS232 serial
port. The camera is capable of free running operation or may be triggered
externally via the input TRIGGER IN. TRIGGER OUT allows the
synchronization of shutters or illumination sources in free running or externally
triggered modes.

Note: Performance specifications are not
guaranteed if your power supply does not
meet these requirements.
Many high quality supplies are available
from other vendors. DALSA assumes no
responsibility for the use of these supplies.
When setting up the camera’s power supplies, follow these guidelines:
•Do not connect or disconnect cable while power is on.
•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 linear supplies to minimize noise.
