Alta E30-DD Specifications   Printer friendly PDF Alta E30-DD Specifications The Alta E30-DD has a front-illuminated deep depletion spectroscopy format CCD with high sensitivity in the near-infrared without the fringing (“etaloning”) characteristic of back-illuminated CCDs. This CCD is NIMO (non-MPP) with higher dark current than other E2V AIMO CCDs. 1024 x 256 array, 26 x 26 micron pixels 700 kHz 16-bit digitization to camera head memory 200 kpixel/sec transfer to host computer via TCP/IP 24Mbyte available camera memory Ethernet 100baseT interface: no plug in cards or external controllers Programmable, intelligent cooling to 55°C below ambient Binning up to 8 Horizontal x 256 Vertical Subarray readout and fast sequencing modes Precision time delayed integration (TDI) and kinetics mode readout Programmable fan speed for low / zero vibration Two serial port outputs for control of peripheral devices General purpose programmable I/O port External triggering and strobe controls ActiveX drivers and MaxIm DL/CCD software included with every system Field upgradeable firmware Fused silica windows Runs from single 12V supply with input voltage monitor Compact enclosure Programmable status indicators MaxIm DL/CCD and CCDSoft software packages are offered at special prices when purchased at the same time as a camera system.
