1 SCOPE
This document details the design for the HAWK216OEM1 (P/N: HK216-AN-OEM1) camera.
The HAWK216OEM1 camera utilises an e2v CCD216 EMCCD sensor to provide low light imaging.
Details of the camera electrical interfaces and communication protocols are also provided.
A photograph of the complete Camera module is shown in Figure 1: Camera (Photograph).
