Therefore a much higher frame rate can be attained during this time than can be supported over a more prolonged time. This buffer can be used for a ‘data burst’ up to the maximum frame rate of the camera until it is full. The Neo 5.5 sCMOS camera has a 4GB on-head memory buffer.

A scenario in which the Dataflow monitor has accepted and flagged a kinetic series request, respectively is shown in Figure 1.ģ.0 Exploiting the on-head memory buffer of the Neo 5.5 sCMOS

This informs the user of any potential data speed or capacity issues in advance of beginning an acquisition.

The Dataflow monitor also estimates if the available storage capacity of camera, PC RAM or hard drive is sufficient for the requested acquisition. This provides ‘up-front’ estimation as to whether the kinetic series conditions that have been requested by the user are able to support the data transfer and write bandwidths available from Camera Link/USB 3.0 interface and PC hard drive respectively. The Dataflow Monitor is accessible through the set-up dialogue of the Andor Solis acquisition software. Options to rectify this include: (a) reduce frame rate / lengthen exposure time (b) maintain frame rate, but reduce ROI size (otherwise the frame rate increases and the data rate remains the same) (c) use hardware binning (d) use single amplifier mode (d) reduce kinetic series length to be within the 4 GB on-head camera memory of the Neo 5.5 sCMOS (e) spool to PC RAM (if greater than 4 GB in the case of the Neo 5.5 sCMOS).Īndor developed the Dataflow monitor for the Neo 5.5 sCMOS and Zyla 5.5 & 4.2 sCMOS cameras to identify any system bottlenecks for a requested kinetic series. In this case the data rate exceeds that of the hard drive write speed. The USB 3.0 interface has a bandwidth limitation of 335 MB/sec, which translates to 40 fps of 5.5 MP image size and 53 fps of 4.2 MP image size, single amplifier mode.įigure 1 - The Dataflow monitor has raised a warning against the requested kinetic series.

The issue of determining achievable speeds is further compounded by the fact that data rates are also adjusted by user selected variables such as exposure time, pixel readout speed, ROI size, hardware binning or single/dual amplifier dynamic range modes. The maximum length of a kinetic series is determined by the capacity of PC RAM or hard drive that is assigned for spooling. Thus, to achieve maximum available sustained speeds, a PC configuration should be capable of writing/spooling data at faster than this rate (see Section 4.0).

The dual Camera Link interface (‘10-tap’) has a bandwidth limitation of 850 MB/sec, translating to the full 100 fps in single amplifier mode. The single Camera Link interface (‘3-tap’) has a bandwidth limitation of ~ 250MB/sec, which translates to ~ 30 frames per second (fps) of 5.5 MP image size, single/dual amplifier mode.ġ.2 Dual Camera Link Interface (‘10-tap’)

In addition, time is taken for a ‘read request’ to be sent by the software to retrieve the next image block.ġ.1 Single Camera Link Interface (‘3-tap’)

The maximum sustained speeds are ultimately limited by the interface bandwidth.
