1 Chapter 1. Introduction Description The Advanced Camera O peration Ma nual incl udes : • Imag er Contro l Languag e (ICL)— Rules of synta x, AS CI II command set, and exampl e scripts • Advanc.
2 Adva nced Camera Operat ion Man ual Softw are To run I CL scripts, you m ust be running a full -function imaging pack age that is ICL compatible. You must also have inst alled the IC L and PVCAM file s that are appropriate for your camera a nd interface.
3 Chapter 2. ICL Introduction ICL scripts can be written in a ny text editor. Save the script as a text file , then downlo ad through an I CL-compatibl e imaging pack age.
4 Advanc ed Camera Operati on Manua l Single Parameter Functions Some fun ctions req uire a single parame ter. Fraction al/decimal and negative values are not allowed. Numeric expressi ons generate an error. Whitespace can be included anywhere inside the parent heses.
Chap ter 2. ICL 5 Verbs as Subroutines You can t hink of ve rbs as ca mera function s or subr outines. A si ngle-verb instructio n such as flas h() or clear _until _trig () can be expanded into a sequence of camera-specific instructio ns. Most verbs are directions for the camera to perfor m the func tion immed iatel y using the current set tings.
6 Advanc ed Camera Operati on Manua l Display V erbs The pixe l_di splay verb is not sent to the camera and doe s not affect data collection. However, once the data has been collected, the application examines the script, the pixel_ displa y verbs, and any loop comman ds.
Chap ter 2. ICL 7 Function Definitions clear_parallel( clear_count ); clear the entire parallel re gister, clear_cou nt times clear_serial( clear_count ); clear the serial regist er, clear_count times.
8 Advanc ed Camera Operati on Manua l clear_until_trig( ); This function causes the CCD to enter clearing mode an d continues c learing i ndefini tely until a trigger a rrives. Both the parallel and serial registers are conti nuously clearing ( moving charge t oward and int o the serial register then out).
Chap ter 2. ICL 9 loop_b egin (loo p_coun t); This functio n allows l ooping within a script. A loop _count specifies the number of times to perform the loop. All instru ctions be tween the loop_b egin and matching loop_ en d commands are executed exactly loop _count times.
10 Advanc ed Camera Operati on Manua l You can use this funct ion to stack several regio ns, one af ter the other, in the para llel direction. However, you cannot stack more than one region at a time in the se rial direction. s_ offset may be ze ro. All other parameters must be between 1 and 65,53 5, inclu sive.
Chap ter 2. ICL 11 shift_ mode _i s( ); Shift Image a nd Storage. Thi s is a pa rallel shifting mode that shift s the entire parallel register. T his mode can be used on all CC Ds and use s the normal cl ocking method that is equiva lent t o MPP of f.

Chap ter 2. ICL 13 Exam ple Scripts The eight example scripts in this section illustra te the rules and principles of ICL. These scripts use every ICL function wi th the exception of shift_mode_sm () and the _alt modes. Electronic copi es of the example scripts are in the ICL Example file on your HCK diskette.
14 Advanc ed Camera Operati on Manua l TDI (Time Delay I ntegration) Panorama This script is written for us e with a Kodak 1400 C CD (serial size 1317,parallel s ize 1035).
Chap ter 2. ICL 15 Ratio Imaging: 2-F rame Ratio This script collects two frames in quick suc ces sion, for use in a ratio im agi ng experiment. The camera is a PXL ® /37 (a Marconi CCD37-10 CCD, wi th a 512x51 2 image area, a nd a masked 51 2x544 stora ge area).
16 Advanc ed Camera Operati on Manua l Ratio Imaging: Multi-F rame Ratio This script performs ratio imagi ng with t he CCD37-10 CCD. Only three small subreg i ons are needed, but to get a good stati stical base for the images, y ou must ta ke a sequence of 100 identical exp osures.
Chap ter 2. ICL 17 3-Color Sequence In this setup the target is i lluminated by three filter ed lights. Ea ch light can be s witched o n and off almost instantaneou sly (in less t han a mi llisecond). There is a sma ll amount of camera- triggered hardware logic t hat coordinates the hardware with the exposure.
18 Advanc ed Camera Operati on Manua l Intermittent E xposure This script takes a stellar image of a faint ga laxy. The observatory is lo cated under the f light p ath of a local airport an d incoming planes o ccasionally pas s through the fiel d of view.
Chap ter 2. ICL 19 High-Sp eed S pectroscopy This script u ses a frame-transfer device (the CCD37-10 CCD) to perfo rm high-speed spectroscopy. It collects a spectral image in t he image array, an d bins t hat imag e down to a sing le line, as it shifts it int o the storage area .
20 Advanc ed Camera Operati on Manua l Erro r Cod es This section lists the error codes that may appear when us ing ICL. 10100 C101_ICL_UNKNO WN_ERROR ICL OPTION LIBRARY: unkno wn error 10101 C101_ICL.
Chap ter 2. ICL 21 Man Pages This section co ntains the Man Page descripti ons for the six ICL scripti ng functi ons included i n the PVCAM library. These functions are in tended fo r use by applicati on programmers o nly. PVCAM Class 101: IC L pl_exp_displ ay_script(101) NAME pl_exp_display_script – lists the displa y rectangles.
22 Advanc ed Camera Operati on Manua l PVCAM Class 101: IC L pl_exp_ini t_script(101) NAME pl_exp_init_script – initialize the scr ipting library. SYNOPSIS boolean pl_exp_init_script(void) DESCRIPTION This f unction prepar es and initia lizes the scripting option library.
Chap ter 2. ICL 23 PVCAM Class 101: IC L pl_exp_lis terr_script(10 1) NAME pl_exp_listerr_script – if an error occurred during script processing, list the exact position of that error.

26 Advanc ed Camera Operati on Manua l PVCAM Class 101: IC L pl_exp_unin it_script(101) NAME pl_exp_uninit_script – unitialize the scripting library. SYNOPSIS boolean pl_exp_uninit_script( void ) DESCRIPTION T his functio n undoes t he pre parations d one by pl_exp_init_script .
Chap ter 2. ICL 27 Decoding Decoding (defined as decoding the pixel stream to display one or more images) must be simp le enough to easily use, yet, pow erful enough to displa y most experiment s. To satisfy both needs, the scripts can conta in any numbe r of pixel display statements.

29 Chapter 3. Advanced CCD Theory Introduction The charge-coupled device (CCD) is the imager of ch oice for use in quantitative image acq uisitio n systems. This chapter familiari zes you with CCDs and the terminol ogy used in d escribing them. It a lso discusses CC D performa nce characteristics.
30 Advanc ed Camera Operati on Manua l A thin layer of silic on di oxide is grow n on a secti on of silicon a nd a conductive gate structure is applied over the ox ide. Applying a positive electrical potential to the gate creates a depletion regi on where the free electrons generated by incomi ng phot ons can be s tored.
