WTD: Manual for C1002 Camera
Hello Dick,
toggle quoted message
Show quoted text
I own two of C1001 cameras and do not have any documentation. Perhaps we can share notes. So far, I found out that camera part was made by NEC and puts out an NTSC signal. There are several adapters to mount camera to scope, probably the most useful are: 1.. 016-0248-01 for small screen 7000 series scopes (not 7600, though and 7600 is not recommended; probably image is too big) 2.. 016-0269-03 for 2400 and 'new' 400 (465) 3.. 016-0306-01 for 'old' 400 series (485, 454 etc.) I am looking for #1 adapter while #2 came with one of cameras. I am also looking for documentation and selected accessories; I do not think that original board for PC would be very useful, that might be a pre-ISA slot and even if you have the slot in your PC, drivers might be missing or incompatible with available Wander from Redmond. What I found so far is: 1.. The 9-pin connector takes in 12 V, around 300 mA at pins 1 (positive) and 3 (ground) and signal is on pins 4 (shield/ground) and 5 (video); there are two other pins used which bring in calibration voltages and go only to BNC and two test points. 2.. Someone on this forum suggested to use 'Snappy' for frame capture; that device is available on e-bay for around $10, but manufacturer seems to be out of business. I played a bit with this camera, with limited success. The Snappy has a 'monitor' mode, a quasi real time but that was not good enough to adjust focus, so I set focus to infinite and looked at the picture of nearby window; that way basic camera operation was verified. With great difficulties I managed to focus camera for oscilloscope image. Adjusting light intensity exhausted last shreds of my patience and now camera has to wait. However, the best results I got when TV receiver's video input was used, a real real-time image. I would like to find out how this camera or frame capture board were triggered to capture desired frame. I presume that was done by trailing edge of scope gate signal. Out of curiosity, how much did you pay for your camera? The first one I paid around $70 (with shipping) while second one was mine for $20 (with shipping) and I do not see the difference. The cheaper one came with scope adapter and a cable (9 pin male D connector on both ends) and is higher serial number; it is just as you would expect on e-bay, no rime. I tried this forum for more information or parts, but no luck so far. Let's hope you have better luck. Regards Miroslav Pokorni ----- Original Message -----

I "reverse engineered" the power connector and figured out the pin-out. So

far I have not gotten anywhere on getting a manual. If all else fails, I'll probably just put it up for sale and move on to something else. I got this with a lot of Tektronix scope cameras, got two C-50's left and this orphan. Regards, Richard S. -----Original Message-----

I do not quite understand why do you want to sell that camera if you do not have manual, but if you persist, I might consider buying it. What is your asking price?

Do you know what is difference between C1001 and C1002? I just assumed that both have 9 pin D connector for all connections, but maybe that is not so. Regards Miroslav Pokorni ----- Original Message -----

Well, if I don't have the manual, it's not of much use to me. I would take
