WinCamD
The Camera we are using belongs to the Chip experiment.
Technical Data
TaperCamD20-15–UCD23:
- WinCamD with 20 x 15 mm 2.27:1 FO taper on the sensor
- 2/3“ CCD sensor for CW Pulsed, 1360 x 1024 pixels
- Pixelsize: ATTENTION The manual states, it is 6.45 µm. But taking the physical dimension (20×15 cm) and amount of pixels into account, it is rather 14.6772 µm, which is approximately 2.27 * 6.45
If you have a TaperCamD series camera, press Alt S to reach the WinCamD Capture Setup dialog, and enter the appropriate PMF value in the WinCamD capture screen.
- TaperCamD20 - 15 - UCD23 Pixel multiply factor = 2.27
Also enter the correct wavelength.
Congratulations. You have successfully completed installation. 
Shortcuts
Capture setup dialog: Alt+S Start measurement: Press G Stop measurement: Press S
Troubleshooting
Sometimes the camera is not getting recognized. Open the capture setup dialog (Alt+S) and unplug + plug the camera. Now, the program should recognize the camera.
Power Limits
Power >2.5 x (Beam diam in mm) W, or >10 W total, may damage the ND filter. The limit is lower for pulsed lasers, especially ns & fs lasers.
| nm | Damage Threshold | Saturation Irradiance |
| mW/cm2 | uW/cm2 | |
| 355 | Few | ~0.3 |
| 630 | >10 | ~0.15 |
| 800 | “ | ~0.1 |
| 1060 | “ | ~10 |
