The camera control window provides an intuitive ICCD camera interface.
The Camera Control console of the 4 Spec E Software provides a very comfortable and intuitive interface for the remote control of all ultra-high speed ICCD cameras from Stanford Computer Optics.
It enables direct access for all operation modes and working parameters. The main control parameter of the intensification are its gain voltage, internal or external gate control, gate delay time and gate open time. The main adjustable image readout parameters are trigger options, gamma correction, video gain, camera start behavior and integration time. A whole set of trigger and operating options are available and can be remotely set on the camera control window. These parameter like trigger mode, multiple exposure parameter i.e. number of exposures, gate time of each and interval between each.
The 4 Spec E software enables also basic data operations during the data acquisition. These parameter can be easily accessed and include binning, grouping of several lines or rows, selection of a region of interest or the automatic rotation of the images.
To these basic functions the optional automatic exposure control and the overexposure shutdown can be installed. This is especially recommended for operation under varying light conditions for protection of the image intensifier and the intensified CCD camera.
Optional: Set Overexposure Shutdown to protect intensifier where light intensity suddenly increases.
