ST-402 Operating Manual
Congratulations and thank you for buying one of our ST-402 cooled CCD cameras. The ST-402 has the following features:
• Uses Kodak’s microlensed, blue enhanced KAF-0402ME CCD with 765 x 510 9-micron square pixels.
• 16-bit A/D converter with correlated double sampling running at 1.8 megahertz.
• Temperature regulated Thermo-Electric (TE) cooling with 25C delta for reduction in CCD dark current.
• Single board, small, compact design with internal shutter allowing exposures down to 40 milliseconds that makes taking dark frames a trivial task.
• USB 2 interface yielding up to 1.2 megapixels per second download rates but full backward compatibility with USB 1.1 computers at 400 kilopixels per second.
• Input power requirements of 10.0 – 14.5 Volts DC at 1 Amp through the new center-positive locking power jack.
• Telescope interface with four optically isolated normally open signals on the industry standard RJ-11 jack.
• T-Thread based mechanical interface that supports a variety of nosepieces and adapters.
• Optional 4-position filter wheel with parfocal Red, Green, Blue and Clear filters.
• Powerful yet intuitive CCDOps software for image acquisition and processing.
