Hardware and Software Environments
The following describes suggested hardware and supported software for successful imaging
systems using the Falcon4-CLHS.
Mounting
The camera requires a mounting platform which includes camera heatsinking. Thermal
management and heat dissipation is mandatory to ensure the camera remains within the stated
operating temperature specification. See section Mechanical Specifications with M42 Mount for the
location of the camera mounting screw holes.
Frame Grabbers and Cabling
A Teledyne DALSA frame grabber, such as the Xtium2-CLHS PX8, is recommended for error free
acquisitions with the Falcon4 camera (contact sales for additional information).
