Fast Framing CCD Camera System for High Frequency Hypersonic Fluid Diagnostics

Abstract

The Fast Framing CCD Camera System designed under this contract provides high speed imaging via a solid state image sensor. The camera operates in a burst mode, capturing images at frame rates up to 1,000,000 frames per second, and retaining in the image sensor's memory the last 32 images. Several operating modes provide flexibility in triggering, and a focus mode allows for focusing and aligning external optics. The user interface for controlling the camera is provided via the Netscape Communicator browser, which also makes remote operation of the camera easy to accomplish. The user can change frame rate, and set up triggering conditions, then capture images and display them, all in the same browser window. An on-line user manual can also be accessed from the browser which provides descriptions and setup of operating modes and trigger conditions.
