Software module:  camera remote control

4 picos control software

Our unique all-in-one-head design with on-board CPU and RISC processor makes our image intensified cameras work absolutely autonomous. The CPU can easily be programmed by any hyper terminal.
The camera control console provides a very comfortable intuitive interface for the remote control of the cameras operation modes and working parameters.  It also includes a live monitor which simulates a video monitor on your PC.


The camera control software module runs with
DOS© and Windows© and provides access to the following parameters:




  • Image Intensifier Gain.
  • Gate Time and Gate Delay Time
  • Analog video camera: Gamma = 0.45 or 1.0.
  • Video camera gain, Automatic or Adjustable. 
  • Set analog camera to Frame or Field operation.
  • Set Single or Multiple exposure and, if multiple exposure, set Multiple Exposure Parameters (maximum repetition rate 10 MHz), i.e., number of exposures, gate times of each, interval between each, and delay before first exposure in multiple series. 
  • Set 'Warm' or 'Cold' start.  'Warm' start means the camera starts up with the same parameters when last shut off.  'Cold' start defaults to a standard parameter set.
  • Set video sync output on odd or every field.
  • Set for Standard Video or CCD Integration over any period, i.e. time binning. 
  • Set Single Trigger Discriminator; this allows user to decide with how many triggers out of a series he wishes to trigger the camera. 
  • When internal frame grabber is installed, set for Direct Video or on Board Storage. 
  • Optional:  Set Automatic Exposure Control for operation under varying light conditions. 
  • Optional:  Set Overexposure Shutdown to protect intensifier where light intensity suddenly increases.
