IMAGE SENSOR Multichannel detector head controller C7557 For control of multichannel detector head and data acquisition C7557 is specifically designed for basic control in multichannel photometry. When connected to a Hamamatsu multichannel detector head and a personal computer, C7557 allows easy control of the detector head and data acquisition by using dedicated software that comes with the unit. C7557 supports all models of Hamamatsu multichannel detector heads designed to use a CCD image sensor or InGaAs image sensor. C7557 provides various useful functions (see page 2) that efficiently collect sample data during basic operation. C7557 controller includes a driver/amplifier circuit for operating a multichannel detector head, a power supply circuit, a temperature stabilizer circuit, an A/D conversion circuit that converts analog signals from the detector head into digital signals, and a data interface. The software supplied with C7557 allows easy control of the multichannel detector head and data acquisition through the SCSI interface. This software runs on Windows 95/98/Me, by simple operation from the menu neatly displayed on the screen. This software is available with different kinds of DLL*1 to help you develop your own software programs under various developmental environments. *1: DLL is one of useful functions the Windows 95/98/Me. It is a library that can freely start up from application software or execute function procedure. Software development can be made easier with DLL. To use DLL, see the operation manual that comes with the unit.

Make connections as indicated in ➀ to ➄. ➀ LINE ➁ SCSI *4 Connect to the power cable. Connect to a computer through the SCSI interface cable. When C7557 is the last unit in the SCSI ➂ TE CONTROL I/O chain, plug a teminator into another SCSI port on C7557. Connect to the "TE CONTROL I/O" terminal on the detector head. ➃ SIGNAL I/O ➄ GND Connect to the "I/O SIGNAL" terminal on the detector head. When a 2-pin AC plug is used with the power cable, use this GND connector to ground the unit. 2. When all the connections are complete, turn on the power to C7557. 3. Install the dedicated softeware. (For details on the dedicated software, refer to the operation manual supplied in the package.) *4: A terminator must be plugged into the last unit in the SCSI chain.

From the main screen menu, you can easily set operating conditions for the multichannel detector head and data acquisition parameters. The measurement screen displayed with this software shows the image sensor channel along the horizontal axis and the output count along the vertical axis. The main screen menu also allows you to select the desired operation mode: line binning or area scanning (for CCD image sensors), or line scanning (for InGaAs image sensors). The parameters that can be set on the main screen are as follows: •Exposure time •Amplifier gain •Cooling control •Number of integrations •Dark correction •Type of measurement data •Start or end of measurement •Detector head status •Trigger mode •Trigger polarity •Shutter timing pulse width •Shutter timing pulse delay •Shutter timing pulse polarity 4 Multichannel detector head controller C7557 ■ Selection guide for im age sensor and detector head com bination Suitable multichannel detector head Type No. C7020 C7021 C7025 C7040 C7041 C7043 C7044 C7180 C7181 C10150 C10151 C8061-01 C8062-01 Image sensor Type No. Number of active pixel S7010-0906 S7010-0907 S7010-0908 S7010-1006 S7010-1007 S7010-1008 S7011-0906 S7011-0907 S7011-1006 S7011-1007 S7015-0908 S7015-1008 S7030-0906 S7030-0907 S7030-0908 S7030-1006 S7030-1007 S7030-1008 S7031-0906 S7031-0907 S7031-0908 S7031-1006 S7031-1007 S7031-1008 S7033-0907 S7033-1007 S7034-0907 S7034-1007 S7170-0909 S7171-0909 S10140-1007 S10140-1008 S10140-1009 S10140-1107 S10140-1108 S10140-1109 S10141-1007 S10141-1008 S10141-1009 S10141-1107 S10141-1108 S10141-1109 G9201-256S G9202-512S G9203-256S G9204-512S G9211-256S G9212-512S G9213-256S G9214-512S G9205-256W G9206-256W G9207-256W G9208-256W 512 × 60 512 × 124 512 × 252 1024 × 60 1024 × 124 1024 × 252 512 × 60 512 × 124 1024 × 60 1024 × 124 512 × 252 1024 × 252 512 × 58 512 × 122 512 × 250 1024 × 58 1024 × 122 1024 × 250 512 × 58 512 × 122 512 × 250 1024 × 58 1024 × 122 1024 × 250 512 × 122 1024 × 122 512 × 122 1024 × 122 512 × 512 512 × 512 1024 × 122 1024 × 250 1024 × 506 2048 × 122 2048 × 250 2048 × 506 1024 × 122 1024 × 250 1024 × 506 2048 × 122 2048 × 250 2048 × 506 256 512 256 512 256 512 256 512 256 256 256 256 Active area [mm (H) × mm (V)] 12.288 × 1.440 12.288 × 2.976 12.288 × 6.048 24.576 × 1.440 24.576 × 2.976 24.576 × 6.048 12.288 × 1.440 12.288 × 2.976 24.576 × 1.440 24.576 × 2.976 12.288 × 6.048 24.576 × 6.048 12.288 × 1.392 12.288 × 2.928 12.288 × 6.000 24.576 × 1.392 24.576 × 2.928 24.576 × 6.000 12.288 × 1.392 12.288 × 2.928 12.288 × 6.000 24.576 × 1.392 24.576 × 2.928 24.576 × 6.000 12.288 × 2.928 24.576 × 2.928 12.288 × 2.928 24.576 × 2.928 12.288 × 12.288 12.288 × 12.288 12.288 × 1.464 12.288 × 3.000 12.288 × 6.072 24.576 × 1.464 24.576 × 3.000 24.576 × 6.072 12.288 × 1.464 12.288 × 3.000 12.288 × 6.072 24.576 × 1.464 24.576 × 3.000 24.576 × 6.072 12.8 × 0.25 12.8 × 0.25 12.8 × 0.50 12.8 × 0.50 12.8 × 0.25 12.8 × 0.25 12.8 × 0.50 12.8 × 0.50 12.8 × 0.25 12.8 × 0.25 12.8 × 0.25 12.8 × 0.25 Types of sensor Front-illuminated CCD area image sensor *5 Back-thinned CCD area image sensor InGaAs linear image sensor *5: C7557 can be used with following back-thinned CCD area image sensors and multichannel detector heads •Two-stage TE-cooled CCD S7032 series/multichannel detector head C7042 •Two-stage TE-cooled CCD S7035 series/multichannel detector head C7045 •Two-stage TE-cooled CCD S7172-0909/multichannel detector head C7182 5 Multichannel detector head controller C7557 ■ Dimensional outline (unit: mm) 226 ± 2 92 ± 2 TRIG.IN RS-232C PULSE OUT POWER VIDEO OUT 150 ± 2 SCSI ID SIGNAL I/O LINE SYNC.OUT SCSI 2.2 TE CONTROL I/O FRONT VIEW SIDE VIEW REAR VIEW KACCA0061EC ■ Configuration •C7557 main unit 1 •SCSI terminator •Spare fuse (1.6 A) * 1 1 •Detector head connection cables •AC cable 2 1 •CD-ROM (Software, Operation manual) 1 * Contained in the holder just above the AC cable connector on the C7557 rear panel.
