AD-080CL
7. Functions and operation
7.1 Basic functions
The AD-080CL is based on a dichroic prism, allowing precise separation of the visible (color)
and Near-Infrared parts of the spectrum into two separate channels.
The Visible (color) channel is referred to as Channel 1 and the Near-Infrared channel is referred
to as Channel 2.
Channel 1 and 2 can be configured to operate separately or synchronously. When operating
separately each channel can be triggered and read out independently.
The AD-080CL can operate in Continuous (free-run) mode or in the Pre-Select (PS) and Pulse
Width (PW) trigger modes.
The Partial Scan function, with 1/2, 1/4 or 1/8 image height, provides higher frame rate at
lower vertical resolution.
7.1.1 2 CCD optical assembly
The dichroic prism incorporated in the AD-080CL separates the visible (color) part of the
spectrum into a wavelength band from 400nm to 650nm (Channel 1) and the Near-IR part into a
band ranging from 760 nm to 1000 nm (Channel 2).
The below figure shows the concept of the separation into Visible and Near-IR bands.
