摘要: Mode selection switches (76, 96, 98) selectively interconnect a sensor line shift timing generator (76) with one of three signal sources - (1) conventional raster scan from sync (70), (2) variable speed external signals tachometer (32), and (3) fixed developed the horizontal generator. In time delay integration mode, causes CCD arrays an image section (22) storage (24) to pixel values down at rate commensurate signal. As spot light emanating portion object moving through examination region moves along array, corresponding charge is shifted array same such that integrates as it entire length array. An output register (80) generates for registers (26) produced compatible EIA-170 television standard. camera works video camera. When connected frequency signal, picture scrolls TV monitor clocked by in proportion conveyor. calibration screen rate.
