16 Bit spectroscopy camera driven by LabVIEW

[svenn]

I am looking for a 16 Bit water cooled camera and frame grabber for collecting still images that can be controlled by LabVIEW. I want to do phase resolved imaging in the 10s of kHz range, so it needs 1-10 usec time resolution. Any recommendations for imaging systems?

Thanks,

Jo

Andor are v. good 🙂

They do water-cooling, but their cameras can go to -50C (if I remember well) air-cooled (peltier), therefore, unless you are looking for aliens in deep space, there�s no need for water.

They provide labview drivers, but keep in mind that their cameras is not going to be handled by the IMAQ drivers, therefore it is not going to be such an easy exercise...

I hope you have your seatbelts on when asking for a price on this type of cameras, if you haven't done it before :):)

Hello Jo.

As far as the National Instruments products are concerned, you will probably not be limited with your frame rates/image sizes with our CameraLink board (PCI-1428). The limitations on data rates are determined simply by the image resolution and the frame rate. Feel free to give our technical reps a call and we can further discuss any specs you desire from our products.

Needless to say, sticking with our frame grabbers will give you a seamless and easy LabVIEW interface.

Please feel free to reply with any more specific questions.
