CHAPTER 1 PRECAUTIONS:
•The camera contains a light sensitive image intensifier and
is easily damaged by to much light. It has to be operated in
darkness.
•When mounting / removing the camera the shorting plug must
immediately be added to the backside of the camera, when the
thick cable to the camera is removed.
•The user should read the first 7 pages (i.e. until hardware
overview) of the document : "All-Sky Imaging System for
University of Oslo", Keo Consultants, 12/5/95.
•The PC clock is automatically updated every 5 minutes by the
Norwegian Polar Research Institutes Network Time Server. The
Tardis95 program must be running in the background. The
program starts automatically when Windows starts, and a icon
is shown on the toolbar. The ACC2 program has also support
for a GPS clock. If the Garmin GPS 12XL Receiver is used the
date and time is received from this device. If not the date
and time is captured from the PC clock. If either the Network
Time Server or the GPS receiver is available, the PC clock
must manually be corrected to UTC time every day.
•The data is stored at x:\data\images directory. This
directory must exist, (x: is d: at the Unis/UiO camera no 1.)

CHAPTER 2 STARTING THE CAMERA:
Turn on the PC.
(If the Garmin GPS 12 XL Receiver is used: Turn the receiver
on, (the small red button with a drawing of a light bulb).) The
Network Time Server is the preferred time source.
Shut down all light in the camera hut.
Remove the lens cover at the camera unit.
Turn on the power on the backside of the camera, and on the
camera control unit.
On the PC, start the PMIS program. Verify the RS-232
communication with the "User->COMOPEN 1" , (Press User in the
menubar, and the parameter is 1) . If the camera does not
answer with "HOME:1" restart the computer.
Then when "User->COMOPEN 1" replies with "HOME:1" the
communication with the camera is working.
Close the communication with "User->COMCLOSE"
Close the two windows: SI 512 camera and the one with 8x16 icon
buttons.
In the PMIS Window:
Image -> NewImage
A new black image window appears.
Press the ACC2 icon. Now the ACC2 window appears.
The UT time is shown in upper right corner of the ACC2 window.
It should show UT and have the format:
yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss
Mark: It is important that the time has exactly this format,
not . or , instead of the - and : ‘s.
If necessary (and the Garmin GPS 12XL receiver is not used)
correct the time with the Windows95 Control Panel Date/Time.
In the ACC window: Press OpenCom
Then when the "HOME:1" shows up in the PMIS window
press the Start button in the ACC2 window.
Now if the run file, the timer file and the sequence file

6
are correct, the camera should operate. If the current
time is within a start and stop time in the sequence file, the
sequence is executed.
The default is to use dynamic scaling of the data. The operator
can set the scaling to «fixed».
In the Image_1 window:
Display -> Scaling
¤Fixed Min/Max 0 1500 (is useful settings.)
This settings do not affect the data saved to disk. The
datarange is 12 bit. The operator can move the cursor around in
the image. In the lower left corner of the Image_1 window is
displayed:
X .# Y .# I .#
I is the data value [0 - 4095].
The name of the data files are diplayed in the Aurora Camera
Control window:
e.g. 06:50:50 File name: C:\data\images\981215\06\98121506.33G
The extention 33 is a hex number (starts on 00 every hour) and
G indicates that this image is taken with a green filter (R
indicates red filter).

7
CHAPTER 3 STOPPING THE CAMERA:
In the ACC window.
Press the Stop button and the Exit button.
Press the upper right cross to terminate the PMIS program.
Answer No to save the image and No to save the Program state .
Turn off the power at the backside of the camera unit
and the camera control unit.
Put the lens cover on the camera unit.
Shut off the Garmin GPS 12XL receiver by pressing the red
button for about 3 seconds. (If wanted the Garmin GPS 12XL
receiver can run all the time during the observation season.)
(If necessary do the move the recorded image files to tape or
optical diskette, see below).
Shut down Windows 95 and turn off the PC power.

The filter wheel, the intensifier and the shutter is
controlled by the SMARTMTR program. The SMARTMTR
program in use is called Norway.prg. The CCD camera is
controlled by the PMIS program. The PMIS program also
cover the RS-232 communication (thin cable) to the
SMARTMTR program. This is done via the RS-232 COM1: port.
When inspecting the camera system the operator should also
watch the PMIS window.
The ACC2 program is a Visual Basic 5 program. It communicate
with the PMIS program. The task of the ACC2 program is
to determine the times the camera should operate and what
it should do when it operates.
VisualBasic(ACC2)--> PMIS(macros)--> SMARTMTR(Norway.prg)
The information from the ACC2 program is written in the
upper text panel in the ACC2 window. Every line starts with the
time when the message is written. The last line written in the
ACC2 text panel is the top line.
The highly unstable PC clock is corrected by the Garmin GPS
12XL receiver. This is done via a RS-232 cable on the COM2:
port. The messages from the part of the program handling the
GPS interface is shown in the lower text panel in the ACC2
window. The program checks every other minute if the PC clock
should be corrected. The communication to the GPS receiver is
handled by Visual Basic Communication control , MSComm .
The communication between the ACC2 program and the PMIS program
is handled with DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) protocol. The
middle text panel in the ACC2 window is used as a DDE
communication buffer.

10
CHAPTER 5 THE ACC2 CONTROL FILES:
The control files for the ACC2 program is located at the
C:\acc\seq directory. The ACC2 program uses 3 control files:
The run file, the timer file and the sequence file.
The operator should write these three files. The recommended
editor is the Windows 95 notepad program. EDIT in DOS can also
be used. The format of the control files has to be DOS ASCII.
(MARK: Then do not use Word, Word Pad etc. ..)
1) The run file:
-----------------
The run file is named RUN.ACC .
The RUN.ACC file contains 1 executable line.
Lines starting with # in first column are comment lines.
When the first line in the RUN.ACC line has the content:
RUN <filename>
The <filename> is the full path of the timer file the camera
should run.
Example:
RUN c:\acc\seq\timer_2.fil
2) The TIMER file:
--------------------
The current timer file is the filename after the RUN in run
file. In the Example above the current timer file is named
"timer_2.fil" in c:\acc\seq\ directory. It is recommended the
operator uses DOS compatible file names when he creates new
timer files.
The timer file defines the intervals when the camera
should run.
The timer file has the format:
start yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss stop yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss <filename>
The <filename> is the full path of a sequence file.
Note: The sequence file name can be different at
different lines in the timer file.
Example:
start 1997-11-12 06:36:30 stop 1997-11-12 22:38:00 c:\acc\seq\test_a.seq
start 1997-11-13 06:36:30 stop 1997-11-13 22:38:00 c:\acc\seq\test_b.seq
start 1997-11-14 06:36:30 stop 1997-11-14 22:38:00 c:\acc\seq\test_a.seq

11
The line executed in the timer file is the line where
the current time is within the listed interval.
The operator writing a new timer file must follow this format
exactly. The format of the sequence file name can be different,
i.e. it can be at another hard-disk and in another directory.
The current version of the ACC2 program can accept
maximum 100 lines from the timer file.
Note: In order for the ACC2 program to read the correct date
and time format the Windows 95 date and time format must be set
correctly. The date and time is every second printed in the
right upper corner of the ACC2 window. This format has to be
(If this ever has to be changed, it is changed by using the
Regional Settings in the Windows 95 Control Panel):
yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss
Example:
1997-11-15 10:17:24
CORRECT DATE AND TIME:
If the Garmin GPS 12XL receiver is not used, the date and time
of the computer should be set to correct UT time. This is done
in the Windows 95 control panel, Date/Time .
3) The sequence file:
---------------------
The current sequence file is the filename at the end of the
line executed in the current timer file. The sequence file
determines the type of sequence executed. The '$' below are
numerical characters ('0', '1', .. '9').
Lines starting with # in first column are comment lines. The
other lines in the sequence file, must be executable lines.
When the ACC2 program execute a sequence the sequence length is
60 seconds.
The executable lines have the format:
t$$ f$ e$$$ g$ s$ u$ c$
or
b$$ f$ e$$$ g$ s$ u$ c$
t$$ is the second in the minute when program is running in
normal mode. b$$ is the second in the minute when program is

12
running in burst mode. The default is normal mode, but the
operator can change to burst mode by pressing the Burst option
button in the ACC2 window.
When ACC_USE_CONTROL_SEC is 1 in the configuration file :
When composing the sequence file the operator must allow the
program to read the run file and the timer file or the Garmin
GPS 12XL receiver. This is done the ACC_CONTROL_SEC second
specified in the configuration file. The ACC2 program needs
about 2 seconds to perform these tasks.
When ACC_USE_CONTROL_SEC is 2 in the configuration file:
In this case the c$ is used (see below).
f$ is the filter number
$ = 1 for 630.0 nm
$ = 2 for 557.7 nm
$ = 3 for 427.8 nm
e$$$ is the exposure time in milliseconds
g$ is the intensifier gain (0, 1, 2 or 3)
s$ is save image to hard disk (1 = yes, 0 = no)
u$ is save image to external disk (1 = yes, 0 = no)
c$ is read the run file and the timer file
or the Garmin
. GPS 12XL receiver after the image is captured (1 = yes,
. 0 = no)
Example:
# sequence file: x1.seq
# The camaera run either in normal or burst mode
# t* is normal mode (* is seconds in the minute)
# b* is burst mode (* is second in the minute)
# f* is filter number (1: 630.0nm , 2: 557.7 nm, 3: 427.8 nm)
# g* is intensifier gain (0,1,2 or 3)
# e* is exposure time in ms
# s* save to harddisk, 1: yes , 0: no
# u* save to network disk, 1: yes , 0: no
# c* is perform control check after this image , 1: yes, 0: no
#
# normal mode sequence
t0 f1 g3 e2000 s1 u1 c1
t30 f2 g2 e1000 s1 u0 c0
#
# burst mode sequence
b0 f1 g3 e2000 s1 u1 c1
b10 f2 g2 e1000 s1 u0 c0
b20 f1 g3 e2000 s1 u0 c0
b30 f2 g2 e1000 s1 u0 c0
b40 f1 g3 e2000 s1 u0 c0
b50 f2 g2 e1000 s1 u0 c0
#
# end of file
This example shows the camera should take two images pr. minute
in normal mode and six images pr. minute in burst mode. The

13
filters should be 630.0 nm (f1) and 557.7 nm (f2). The gain is
set to 3 (maximum) for the 630.0 nm filter and 2 for the 557.7
nm filter respectively (g$). The exposure times should be 2000
and 1000 milliseconds (e$), and all images are stored at the
harddisk (s1). At the start of the minute the image is also
copied to network disk (u1). If the ACC_USE_CONTROL_SEC is 2 in
the configuration file the program read the run file and the
timer file or the Garmin GPS 12XL receiver. This is done after
the first image is captured in each sequence (c1).
Note: The ACC2 program assumes the interference filters
are inserted in this sequence:
filter no 1, 630.0 nm
filter no 2, 557.7 nm
filter no 3, 427.8 nm
Note: Because when saving to network disk the ACC2 program
copies the image file from harddisk to network disk the line
. . . . . s0 u1
in the sequence file will not work.
The ACC2 program store the sequence selections in an array with
one element for each second. The consequence of this is: The
burst mode settings will overwrite the normal mode settings for
the seconds. As an example you have created a sequence file
as this example:
# normal mode sequence
#. . . .
t30 f2 g2 e1000 s1 u0 c1
#. . . .
# burst mode sequence
#. . . .
b30 f1 g3 e2000 s1 u0 c1
#...
In this example the settings for burst mode at second 30 will
overwrite the settings for normal mode for second 30. What then
actually will execute at second 30 when the camera is running
in normal mode is:
t30 f1 g3 e2000 s1 u0 c1
It is then recommended to have equal settings for burst and
normal mode for the same second.

14
CHAPTER 6 IMAGE FILE NAMES:
The image ACC2 program stores images at directory:
x:\data\images
(Note: x: is d: for the Unis/UiO camera no 1.)
Then after a backup the operator can remove all subdirectories
at x:\data\images . (Or he can remove the images directory.
Afterwards he the has to create the images directory again.)
If the Windows95 "Recycle Bin" is used the files has to be
emptied from the "Recycle Bin" afterwards. The DOS command
DELTREE can be used, (e.g. in DOS deltree 971123 971124).
The x:\data\images directory must exist.
(x: is d: for the Unis/UiO camera no 1.)
The ACC2 program automatically creates a subdirectory at
x:\data\images for each day. The format of this directory name
is 'yymmdd' . Then on this new directory it creates a new
subdirectory for each hour. The format of this directory name
is 'hh' . An example of this directory structure is:
X: data -- images -- 971123 -- 05
| |- 06
| |- 21
|
-- 971124 -- 05
|- 06
|- 07
|- 08
The ACC2 program can also create long file names
(yymmddhhmmss.fs). However, the PMIS program which is
responsible for acquiring the data from the camera and storing
the images with the (from ACC2) selected file names can only
accept DOS compatible file names. Then we have to select the
short file name option in the configuration
file,(ACC_LONG_IMAGENAME) .
The (short) file names has the format :
'yymmddhh.%%&'
'yymmddhh' denotes the date and time.
'%%' is a hexadecimal counter for this filter code.
00 <= '%%' <= FF , i.e the counter can count 255
images/hour.

15
The filter code '&' is:
"r" for the filter no 1, 630.0 nm
"s"
"t"
"u"
"v"
"g" for the filter no 2, 577.7 nm
"h"
"i"
"j"
"k"
"b" for the filter no 3, 427.8 nm
"c"
"d"
"e"
"f"
The explanation of this is. The ACC2 program creates a
new directory for each hour. Each image is stored in
one file. Normally "r" is the filter code for the 630.0 nm
filter no 1. However, if more than 256 (00 to FF Hex) images
for filter no 1 are stored at each directory, the code for
filter no 1 switches to "s". If more than 512 images are stored
for filter no 1 in this hour, the code switches to "t", etc. .
As an example the images stored at data\images\971124\14
directory is:
97112414.00R
97112414.00G
97112414.01R
97112414.01G
97112414.02R
97112414.02G
97112414.03R
97112414.03G
97112414.04R
Windows explorer can be used to show the on line occurrence of
new data files at current directory.
When the ACC2 program is stopped and then started again the
image counter (%%) automatically continue after the last image
file written to harddisk. No image files are overwritten. This
information is stored in the rcount.dat, gcount.dat and
bcount.dat files in each directory.

16
CHAPTER 7 THE IMAGE FORMAT:
The image format is the PMIS version 3.5 image format. It is
described in the PMIS User's manual, Version 3.5 at page 243.
It contains an header and then a 513x512x16 bits image. The
ACC2 program uses the 100 character image header comment part
for storing information about the camera system.
The camera delivers 12 bit data, but the PMIS software stores
16 bit data.
An example of the start of such a comment is:
D1997-12-07_14:51:29W557.7nmF2G0E230....
Upper case letters "A" - "Z" are used as identifiers.
"D" denotes date, example: D1997-11-24_17:11:30
"W" denotes Wavelength, .... : W557.7nm
"F" denotes filter number .... : F2
"G" denotes intensifier gain .... : G0
"E" denotes exposure time (ms).... : E230
The rest of the comment parameters are read directly
from the configuration file c:\acc\config\config.acc (see
below).
"N" CAMERA_NUMBER
"S" STATION_NAME
"L" STATION_LAT
"O" STATION_LON
"H" STATION_ALT
"R" IMAGE_MAX_ROWS
"C" IMAGE_MAX_COLUMNS
"X" IMAGE_X1
"Y" IMAGE_Y1
"A" IMAGE_A
"B" IMAGE_B
"V" CAMERA_NORTH

17
CHAPTER 8 COPYING IMAGES TO A NETWORK DISK:
The ACC2 program can save the image on a network disk. Here it
can be read by «another program» which can process and display
the on-line image data at e.g. the World Wide Web. The «another
program» is not a part of the ACC2 program and can not be run
on the camera PC. (The Geomapper program written by Dagfinn
Opsvik can be used as the «another program».)
The settings in the configuration file (see below) must then
be:
ACC_NET_IMAGE_ALLOW 1
ACC_NET_IMAGE_DIR y:\directory1\directory2 ..
The y:\directory1\directory2.. must be a network disk mounted
as y: on the camera PC. Y: can be any character. (As an example
in Oslo the ACC_NET_IMAGE_DIR g:\tmp\pmis\images was used).
The network disk can also be the main harddisk C:, e.g. C:\tmp
.
The line in the sequence file is .. s1 u1 .. when the images
should be stored at a network disk.
In the ACC_NET_IMAGE_DIR directory the sub directories 427.8nm
, 557.7nm and 630.0nm must exit. (The ACC2 program will not
create any directories at the network disk.) The ACC2 program
will then save the images «from» the respective filters on
these sub directories.
On the network disk the image names are:
pmis.0
pmis.1
pmis.2
pmis.3
pmis.4
pmis.5
pmis.6
pmis.7
pmis.8
pmis.9
The pmis.0 is the first image saved. When the pmis.9 is saved
the next image is pmis.0, pmis.1,, … in an endless cycle.
It is the «another program» responsibility not to read the
image at the network disk before the ACC2 program has finished
saving it. The possible solution is then to check the file size
which is 525492 bytes for each image.
When ACC_NET_IMAGE_DUMMY is 1 in the configuration file a small
file dummy.dat is copied to the network disk after the pmis
image is copied. This file can be used to synchronise the
reading. The dummy.dat file can be deleted by the «another
program».

18
The ACC2 program copies the image from the harddisk to the
network disk. In this case the s0 u1 line in the sequence file
will not work.

19
CHAPTER 9 CONFIGURATION FILE:
The configuration file is named c:\acc\config\config.acc .
This file must exist. The file contains comments which explains
the file. When the user knows the setup of the camera he can
fill inn the correct parameters in this file. Because the upper
case characters "A" - "Z" are used as comment identifier, these
characters should not be used.
Here is an example of a configuration file:
# #### #### # # ##### # #### ## ### ###
# # # # # ## # # # # # # # # # #
# # # # # # # ##### # # # # # #
# # # # # # # # # ##### ##### # # #

#
#
# This file must be at c:\acc\config directory.
#
# This file is read when the ACC2 program is starting.
# This file contains the ACC2 configurations
# Lines starting with # are omitted (i.e. these lines are comment lines).
