CC640 Digital Camera 2. Introduction The CC640 digital camera was designed to meet the stringent operational requirements necessary for remote battery powered installations. The CC640 has a very low quiescent power draw and can operate over a wide temperature range. The camera contains a compact flash memory card interface that turns the camera into a powerful image logger. The combination of JPEG compression and memory card storage enables the CC640 to store over 10,000 images. The C

CC640 Digital Camera 2.3 Operating The CC640 is capable of acquiring images in a self-timed mode, an external trigger mode, and by manually taking a picture using the Snap button (Section 3.3, page 6). Self-timed mode is set using the Device Configuration Utility, while a short pulse applied to the Ext. Input Signal on the camera will initiate image acquisition in the External Trigger Mode. When taking a picture manually using the Snap button, the power switch needs to be in the ON posit

CC640 Digital Camera 3.2 Power Switch The power switch can be used to power the camera continuously on or to place the camera in Auto power mode. The switch should not be left in the On position under normal operation. Leaving the switch in the On position will prevent the camera from entering its low power quiescent mode of operation. The power switch does need to be placed to the On position to perform configuration set-up or to focus the camera. In the Auto position the camera will

The video output can be turned on and/or off by pressing the Set-up Button when the power switch is in the ON position. During every image acquisition sequence the video output will be momentarily activated when the image is acquired, allowing the operator to view the image that is being captured. 3.6 External I/O Connector The External

Communications 4.1 PakBus Communications The camera uses the PakBus protocol to send image files from the camera to the datalogger or other PakBus compatible devices. Communications are not enabled while the camera is in its quiescent mode. This is done to conserve power in its low power state. When an image file is ready to be transmitted, the camera will initiate communication

CC640 Digital Camera Figure 4 Using C2006 adapter board to carry RS-232 TX and RX on multi-conductor cable The necessary RS-232 TX (transmit) and RX (receive) signals can also be carried by the recommended 6 conductor cable. Figure 4 demonstrates using a DB-9 to terminal breakout board (part C2006) and the standard cable to transmit the RS- 232 signals. This provides a practical means of carrying the RS-232 signals when the camera is installed remotely from the datalogger. If the re
