Trade names: CHAMELEON 36 (basic level of functionality)
CHAMELEON 36 PLUS (enhanced level of functionality)
The basic versions of the scanners (COUGAR 36 and CHAMELEON 36) may be field
upgraded to the enhanced versions (COUGAR 36 PLUS and CHAMELEON 36 PLUS) by
replacing the BASIC Smart Card with a PLUS Smart Card.
The scan-area is illuminated by one white fluorescent lamp. The light output from the lamp is
stabilized by feedback to the lamp power supply board (LME).
Each CCD-Camera in the scanner contains one 10680 x 3 pixel color CCD. The output
signals from the CCDs are Light Profile Corrected at pixel level.
All scanning and image processing functions are contained on only two boards, the Camera
Board (CBE) and the Controller Board (SUC).
The computer Interface Module (IMB) contains:
USB Controller
SCSI Controller (COUGAR only)
for USB interface respectively SCSI interface. If the computer is connected to both USB and
SCSI interface, the scanner software presents a choice between the two modes to the user.
In order to stitch (bring together) the scanlines from adjacent cameras, the fields of vision of
the CCD-Cameras overlap slightly and a thin, black wire placed within the overlapped fields
of vision marks the virtual end, respectively start, of adjacent scanlines.
The scanlines from the individual cameras are mechanically aligned (by means of a small
electric motor) in the vertical direction. The Vertical Alignment and the Horizontal Stitching
may be done automatically by means of either SCANtest 6, Test 11 or as part the Scanner
Maintenance calibration procedure.
2.2.2 CHAMELEON PREMIER 36
The CHAMELEON PREMIER 36 is an all monochrome scanner and can not be upgraded to
include color mode.
Model: GG67D (USB interface only)
Trade names: CHAMELEON PREMIER 36 (basic level of functionality)
CHAMELEON PREMIER 36 PLUS (enhanced level of functionality)
Except for the Scanner Controller Board (SUCD) and Scanner ID Switch setting,
CHAMELEON PREMIER 36 is electrically and mechanically identical to CHAMELEON 36.
