Abstract

Many specs of scientific CMOS cameras characterize the performance of camera, which can help developers analyze the quality of cameras. In order to test the performance of sCMOS cameras, we designed and built a test platform for performance test of sCMOS cameras which has been developed. The test platform includes a group of test devices and a automatic test software system. The software system is designed based on remote controllable WEB technology and EPICS-based real-time control framework, making the test platform flexible and convenient. According to the features of sCMOS camera, in the test platform four test procedures are designed to test various specs of sCMOS camera, including FPN test, dark current test, gain, noise, linear error, full well capacity test and dead pixel test. Users can perform automatic tests on camera through web UI, including the control of test platform device, data acquisition and data processing. At the same time, the test platform also provides users with various functions such as test data query and test report generation.
