Pyrocam IV Beam Profiling Camera FAQ

What is the distance from the front of the camera to the sensor?

The sensor is centered around 19.7mm, however, if the accuracy of its placement is critical, measurements are available upon request.

What is the saturation level of the PY IV camera?

The saturation power for the Pyrocam IV in chopped mode is 3.0W/cm2 (25Hz) and 4.5W/cm2 (50Hz) and the Saturation energy in pulsed mode is 15mJ/cm2.

At what wavelengths is the Pyrocam IV most responsive?

What is the framerate of the Pyrocam IV?

25/50Hz chopped mode, SS-100Hz pulsed mode consecutive, up to 1kHz pulse mode non-consecutive The effective frame rates listed in BeamGage specification sheets are the maximum rates typically achievable in actual use.

Frame buffering, image processing techniques, graphical displays, and mathematical computation all add degrees of overhead to achieving higher frame rates. This can be further limited by the available PC hardware. BeamGage features two modes, Frame Priority and Results Priority, which change how the system balances the work. Results Priority acquires a frame, performs any enabled image processing, performs all calculations and updates the graphical displays before accepting another frame from the camera. This mode is most useful when a temporal sequence of frames is not necessary and should always be enabled when logging. Frame Priority mode will allow the calculations and graphical display updates to be interrupted if another frame is ready from the camera before those operations are complete. This can be useful when collecting all frames at the maximum camera frame rate is necessary.

What beam sizes can I measure with the Pyrocam IV?

1.6mm - 25.1mm The accurate beam size minimum is derived by the pixel size of the camera. In order to get an accurate measurement, there must be enough coverage of pixels to ensure that illuminating another pixel will not over exaggerate the beam size.
