Test conditions unless otherwise noted:
• Exposure mode 2 (sem 2)
• 100 fps (ssf 100)
• 9000 microsecond exposure time (set 9000)
• Light Source: Broadband Quartz Halogen, 3250K, with 750 nm cutoff filter
• Ambient test temperature 25°C
• Full Frame
• 10 bits
Notes:
1. Measured at the front plate.
2. Based on output at 1023DN
3. Output over 10-90%
4. Optical distance.
5.
Flat-field correction applied with 9000 µs exposure at 50 fps in sem 2.
6. At 80% of camera saturation, 1x digital gain
7. Measurements done with 10 bits (Falcon 1.4M) and 8 bits (Falcon 1M and VGA)
