Basic Versions for CCD / InGaAs / NMOS
FEE-1M is available in three basic versions:
• FEE-1M /CCD-x for CCD - Spectral Sensors with
tec5 Preamplifier Electronics DZA-S7030-4 (x=2) or
DZA-S9840 (x=8)
• FEE-1M /NIR-x for InGaAs - Spectral Sensors with
tec5 Preamplifier Electronics DZA-VVIR-LD (x=2) or
DZA-VVIR-HM (x=4)
• FEE-1M /NMOS-x (x=1 or d1) for MCS with
Preamplifier DZA-S3901-4 1M for Hamamatsu NMOS PDA types S3901 to S3904 or compatible, alternatively for Carl Zeiss MMS Spectral Sensor with
Preamplifier DZA-MMS 1M
The extension ‘-x’ specifies the master clock frequency
generated by FEE-1M for the Preamplifier Electronics.

General
The FEE-1M functions as a kind of adapter between the
sensor module and the Interface Electronics. It generates the control signals for the photodiode array of the
sensor module, preprocesses the analog video signal
and performs analog / digital conversion. The digitized
intensity values are provided as byte sequential data
stream for the Interface Electronics.
The circuit board is connected either to the PCI bus
Interface Electronics via a shielded 2 or 5m long multipin cable (PD-PCI01V1 version ‘Standard’, interface
standard ‚Interface_40’) or directly plugged on top of the
Ethernet- or USB Interface Electronics (PD-ETH01V1 or
PD-USB01V2, version ‚Embedded’, Interface standard
‘Interface_2*18’).
The sensor interface corresponds to specification ‚Sensor_Ux‘. The sensor module is connected to the FEE
using two flat ribbon cables (4 pin and 14 pin).
