- Mounting location for dewar assembly (see Cryogenic dewars and equipment)
- Basic system comes with 1 BIAS card, 1 CLOCK card, 1 14 bit 10MSPS A/D card and trigger card (with digital TTL output)
- 25' cable linking camera head and digital electronics is standard. (50' and 100' cables also available.)
- Low noise linear main power supply with 12' cable.
BIAS cards
There are 4 channels per card, software programmable from -10V to +10V. DAC resolution is 20uV.
CLOCK cards
There are 4 channels per card, software programmable high rails, low rail and slew rate. Clock rails programmable from -10V to +10V. Clock rail resolution is 4.88mV. Minimum clock swing 0.25V. Slew rates are programmable from 1nsec/V to 20nsec/V.
A/D cards
- CIR-AD14, 1 ch 14 bit 10MSPS A/D card with single ended or differential input, <100 uV RMS input referred noise
- CIR-AD14HS, 2 ch 14 bit 20MSPS/ch A/D card with single ended or differential input, <160 uV RMS input referred noise
- CIR-AD16, 4 ch 16 bit 1 MSPS/ch A/D card with single ended inputs, <50uV RMS input referred noise
- (12 bit A/D cards discontinued but are only available on special request)
DIGITAL input card and custom inputs
16 bit digital input cards are available along with custom interfaces.
TRIGGER card
The trigger card allows trigger input for frame acquisition along with sync input for timing synchronization to external events. The board also has a software controlled 8 bit digital output port (TTL level).
(Small camera head electronics also available (2.75" x 4.125" x 6.125") for certain FPAs.)

- Programmable timing pattern generator with a PCI form factor. PCI interface is only used for power (an auxiliary power connector allows the board to be powered without plugging into a PCI slot.)Uses USB2 interface for control. Graphical timing editor allows graphically based timing patterns to be defined.
- 80MSPS DSP board with 2-point NUC (X'i = Gi*(Xi+Bi)+Ci) per pixel, arbitrary pixel reordering and replacement, std configuration supports 4Meg pixels/frame. Additional offset terms allows flat fielding of an image without performing a full NUC data collection. PCI form factor card is used. PCI interface is only used for power (an auxilliary power connector allows the board to be powered without plugging into a PCI slot.) Control is through a USB2 interface.
- 80MSPS (160Mbytes/sec) 16 bit/pixel frame grabber. This is a PCI-64, PCI-X or PCI-32, 5V or 3V signaling compatible card. For high transfer rates (>80MBytes/sec) a PCI-64 or PCI-X slot should be used.
SOFTWARE

- Windows 7, Vista, Windows or XP (32 or 64 bit) based application software. An extensive application for operating, capturing and displaying data.
- DirectX live displays for statistics and images.
- Graphical timing editor for timing waveform generation.
- Optional FPA test and evaluation software for generating FPA data packs.
- Support for IO Industries VideoSavant, Streams 5 software for real-time to disk at high data rates
- Socket interface for remote application control and data capture.
