A big part of the flexibility of the Baumer board level cameras results from the used flexible PCB that allows a spatial separation of sensor board and system board. Thereby increasing the freedom in mechanical design-in. With the new 200mm long flexible PCB Baumer offers even more flexibility. The accessory MX Flexprint 200mm is now available. Currently it has to be ordered parallel with...

IP Rated Equipment: Codes & Clarification
IP stands for 'Ingress Protection' An IP number is used to specify the environmental protection of enclosures around electronic equipment. These ratings are determined by specific tests that are standardised in order to ensure equipment can be safely used in a diverse range of applications. The IP number is composed of two numbers, the first referring to the protection against... -
Sensor Signals Timing
Each sensor has different timing. The real timing depends on: Exposure Time (ET). This time is defined by xiAPI by (XI_PRM_EXPOSURE) Data Readout Time (trd) Transfer speed (MB/s) - depends on used interface Amount of data transferred (MB) - depends on image resolution and number of bits transferred per pixel (BPP) Free-Run mode (no trigger) Each image exposition is started automatically when... -
Sensor Shutter Modes
Global Shutter Mode Basic spec Global reset of all photo diodes Integration simultaneously in all photo diodes Global transfer of all photo diode signals in sensing nodes Readout line by line Artifacts caused by subject movement Exposure time is too long (during exposure the subject displacement cause blurring of captured image) Left: Original without movement Right: Image blurred due to... -
MU9 USB Transfer Technical Note
Transfer mode MU9 cameras are connected to PC with USB 2.0. BULK data transfer is used. It guaranties data delivery, but it doesn't guarantee constant bandwidth. Packet Size Setting The MU9 cameras have two transfer packet sizes: Compatible-Size - where packets with 512 bytes are used (default) Enhanced-Size - where packets with 1024 bytes are used With Compatible-Size the camera... -
GigE Camera Trouble Shooting Guide
WHAT IS GigE? GigE or Gigabit Ethernet is a member of the family of computer networking and communication standards. The GigabitEthernet standard supports a theoretical maximum data rate of 1 gigabits per second (1 Gbps or 1000Mbps), as definedby the IEEE 802.3-2008 standard. To ensure a high data rate, Gigabit Ethernet workS using unshielded twisted pair (1000BASE-T) copper cable (specifically... -
NEW in Microscopy - KL 1500 HAL Light Source
Lambda Photometrics is happy to announce the new KL 1500 HAL. Flagship in the SCHOTT KL Halogen Series.

SRS Tech Note: SG384 RF Signal Generator
Some customers require high carrier suppression when using the external I/Q modulation inputs. Tests have shown that the SRS SG384 (with Option 3, External I/Q modulation inputs) can provide more than 70 dB of carrier suppression with careful control of the offset voltage on the external I/Q modulation inputs. The photo above shows the power signal envelope of a SRS...
