2 AS/ASM/ASC-5216 Microprocessor boards 2.0.1 AS-5216 Introduction The AS-5216 is a revolutionary design electronics board to support a wide range of new detectors and both high speed (USB2.0) and wireless (Bluetooth) communication. The AS-5216 board is based on a powerful 5216 Coldfire processor, running at 64 Mhz, 16-bit AD converter and USB2.0/RS232-interface. The AS-5216 electronics board is part of the AvaSpec-USB2 platform spectrometers. Different detector types can be connected to the electronics board, such as TAOS Photo Diode Arrays (TSL1401), Hamamatsu C-MOS detectors (S8378-256Q, S8378-1024Q), Sony CCD detectors (ILX554B, ILX511B), Toshiba CCD detectors (TCD-1304) and Hamamatsu backthinned CCD Detector (S9840, S11071, S7031), Hamamatsu InGaAs NIR detectors (G92xx series) and Sensors Unlimited InGaAs Detectors (SU-256LSB/512LDB). For the Hamamatsu backthinned CCD detector a separate power converter electronics board is required, which stacks on the AS-5216 board. For TE cooled detectors a separate TE controller unit is needed. The AS-5216 board is equipped with an additional HD26 digital IO connector with 13 programmable IO ports (3 DI, 10 DO), 2 analog out ports and 2 analog in ports. One digital out port is used for controlling the flash rate of an external Xenon strobe (AvaLight-XE), one digital out port is used to control external TTL-shutter devices, one digital output is reserved for external control for flashing a laser source in LIBS applications. One digital in is used for external hardware trigger. The AS-5216 board can be synchronized with other AS-5216 boards to control the simultaneous data-sampling of 2-127 channels, all connected to USB2.0 high speed interface. On-board signal processing allows data reduction to speed up scan transfer time. Data reduction can be achieved by defining a start and stop pixel and On-Board Averaging. Optional a Bluetooth interface for wireless communication and on-board SD card for stand-alone applications (no PC connected) is available (order code AS-5216-BT). The board can be operated by the extensive AS-5216-DLL with many functions to control the electronics board and data sampling parameters (see separate manual AS-5216-DLL). 2 status LEDs on the front side indicate power on and data transfer. The green LED is on when the microprocessor is up and running the yellow (or blue for –BT version) LED flashes each time a spectrum is transmitted to the PC. The AvaBench optical bench is connected to the electronics board through a flat band interface cable, ending with a 12-pole Picoflex connector and a mini-coax cable, pinouts can be found in section 2.2. The AS-5216 board has an external 5-12VDC or uses internal USB 5VDC power supply, a standard USB connector, a HD-26 digital input/output connector and a synch connector.

2.0.2 ASM-5216 Introduction The ASM-5216 is the OEM version of our AS-5216 board with more than 25% reduced size and price and additional interfaces for optimal coupling with other devices. The ASM-5216 supports all Avantes USB2 optical Benches with a wide range of new detectors and high speed (USB2.0) communication. The ASM-5216 board is based on a powerful 5216 Coldfire processor, running at 64 Mhz, 16-bit AD converter and USB2.0/RS232-interface. The ASM-5216 electronics board is part of the 3rd generation AvaSpec platform spectrometers. Different detector types can be connected to the electronics board, such as TAOS Photo Diode Arrays ( TSL1401), Sony CCD detectors (ILX511, ILX554B), Toshiba CCD detectors (TCD-1304), Hamamatsu back-thinned CCD detectors (S9840, S11071, S7031), Hamamatsu (G92xx series) and Sensors Unlimited (SU-256LSB/512LDB) InGaAs NIR detectors. For the Hamamatsu back-thinned detector a separate power converter board is needed and for the detectors with TE cooling a separate TE controller board is needed. The board is equipped with a Samtec 60-pin Card edge connector with 12 programmable IO ports (3 DI, 9 DO), 2 analog out ports and 2 analog in ports. One digital out port is used for controlling the flash rate of an external Xenon strobe (AvaLight-XE), one digital out port is used to control external TTL-shutter devices, one digital output is reserved for external control for flashing a laser source in LIBS applications. One digital in is used for external hardware trigger. The AS-5216 board can be synchronized with other AS-5216 boards to control the simultaneous data-sampling of multiple channels, all connected to USB2.0 high speed interface. On-board signal processing allows data reduction to speed up scan transfer time. Data reduction can be achieved by defining a start and stop pixel and On-Board Averaging. The board can be operated by the extensive AS-5216-DLL with many functions to control the electronics board and data sampling parameters 2.0.3 ASC-5216 Introduction The ASC-5216 is a reduced size version of our AS-5216 board, designed to fit into our integrated ULSI housing. It supports the Toshiba TCD-1304 and Sony ILX511& ILX554B detectors. The ASC-5216 board is based on a powerful 5216 Coldfire processor, running at 64 Mhz, 16-bit AD converter and USB2.0/RS232-interface. The ASC-5216 electronics board is part of the 3rd generation AvaSpec platform spectrometers. The board is equipped with a Hirose ST-60-36P connector with 12 programmable IO ports (3 DI, 9 DO), 2 analog out ports and 2 analog in ports. One digital out port is used for controlling the flash rate of an external Xenon strobe (AvaLight-XE), one digital out port is used to control external TTL-shutter devices, and one digital output is reserved for external control for flashing a laser source in LIBS applications. One digital in is used for external hardware trigger. The ASC-5216 board can be synchronized with other ASC-5216 boards to control the simultaneous data-sampling of multiple channels, all connected to USB2.0 high speed interface. On-board signal processing allows data reduction to speed up scan transfer time. Data reduction can be achieved by defining a start and stop pixel and On-Board Averaging. The board can be operated by the extensive AS-5216-DLL with many functions to control the electronics board and data sampling parameters. Please do not forget to connect the earth (ground) cable installed on some optical benches to a grounded surface. Not doing so can result in lock-ups of the spectrometer or the software.

the sensor. clk2 This signal is active high and should contain a pulse in each cycle of reading the

sensor.

Figure 1 Timing TSL1401 sensor The signal clk2 is a symmetric clock and may run continuously. The signals cdsclk2 and adcclk may run continuously. The signal adsclk1 should always be kept low. The signals start and fifo /w should only run in certain phases (see table below). For one spectrum at least 132 cycles should be executed. One cycle takes 500 ns, so reading one spectrum takes 66 µs. ADC mode is 1 channel SHA.

2.3.2 AvaBench-256/1024-U2 HAMS8378 START Starts the shift register operation. The start pulse intervals determine the signal

storage time. CLK2 Pulse input to operate the shift register. The clock pulse intervals determine the

readout speed. eos Negative-going signal output obtained at a timing following the last pixel scan

Figure 2 Timing HAM S8378 sensor The storage time is determined by the start pulse intervals. However, since the charge storage of each pixel is carried out between the signal readout of that pixel and the next signal readout of the same pixel, the start time of charge storage differs depending on each pixel. In addition, the next start pulse cannot be input until signal readout from all pixels is completed. The signals clk1, reset, clamp and nor are not used. The signal clk2 determine the readout speed. The signal cdsclk1 should always be kept low. The signals cdsclk2 and adcclk run continuously. The signals start and FIFO /w should only run in certain phases (see table below).

HAM S8378-256Q

The signals start and fifo /w should only run in certain phases (see table below). For one spectrum one start cycle and at least 2088 data cycles should be executed. The start cycle takes at least 4 µs, a data cycle takes 500 ns, and so reading one spectrum takes 1.048 ms. The ILX554 is used in CDS mode.

2.3.3.1 External trigger mode On a rising edge of the external trigger signal the FPGA should start reading the sensor with the given integration time. The external trigger can be used for fast response to start integration time after TTL pulse on pin 6 of the HD-26 connector, pin 7 for the ST60-36P connector. The described TTL pulse as laser pulse is generated on pin 23 of the HD-26 connector, pin 6 for the ST60-36P connector. This TTL pulse can be used in LIBS or fluorescence timing. In the fast trigger mode the pattern of the control signals for the ILX544 sensor is given in the figure below.

The binning period contains 20 clock cycles. 2. The clock signals P1H_OFG, P2H_SG and ADCCLK run continuously. 3. Only the first 8 blank pixel and the 2048 signal pixels are stored in the FIFO. 4. In case there is no measurement requested the default integration time is used to control the

detector. All signals are available in default mode except RG (reset gate). There is no data stored in the FIFO. The start of a new measurement is aligned with the rising edge of P1H_OFG clock signal.

5. During evaluation of the Hamamatsu demo board different timing has been noticed for the RG, P1H_OFG and P2H_SG signals after the read out period. After the last rising edge of the RG pulse there is a delay implemented of 500 ns before the rising edge of P2H_SG and the falling edge of P1H_OFG. For now this timing difference seems to be irrelevant and is not implemented.

All sensor control signals (ccd[0..5] are inverted, because the drivers on the detector board are inverting.

The signals cdsclk2 and adcclk may run continuously. The signals start and fifo /w should only run in certain phases (see table below). For one spectrum one start cycle and 261 data cycles should be executed. The start cycle takes the integration time plus 2 additional clock cycles, a data cycle takes 2 µs, so reading one spectrum takes the integration time + 522 us. After reading out a spectrum the sensor takes at least 10 additional clock cycles before a new integration period can be started. ADC mode is 1 channel SHA.

2.4 Interface Design AvaSpec RS232/USB interface

Interface overview The spectrometer provides a serial connection with a PC using RS232 or USB. Avantes recommends Windows users to use the Dynamic Linking Library (DLL) package; the functions are described in the separate AS-5216 DLL manual. An enhanced binary datalink protocol is used for RS232 communication between spectrometer and the DLL. The datalink protocol implements an application protocol. This protocol is equal for RS232 and USB. The protocol contains a message-sequence number to provide synchronization and identification. The RS232 communication relation is always master (PC) and slave (spectrometer). The spectrometer will always respond to a request from the PC. Physical Interface The following RS232 settings are used: Setting Value Baudrate 115200 Databits 8 Startbits 1 StopBits 1 Parity None Handshaking None Datalink layer Binary coding and control sequences The enhanced protocol is binary coded. For RS232, control sequences are used to mark the begin and end of a message in the byte stream. A control sequence starts with a DLE byte (0x10) and is followed by a control byte. The following control sequences are defined: Table of RS232 datalink control sequences: First byte Second byte Function DLE (0x10) STX (0x02) Start of message DLE (0x10) ETX (0x03) End of message DLE (0x10) DLE (0x10) Data byte 0x10 DLE (0x10) any other

character Not allowed. Messages that contain such a sequence will be ignored. The receiver waits for a new DLE STX sequence.

The [DLE DLE] sequence is used to prevent possible DLE bytes in the transmitted binary data stream from being recognized as the start of a control sequence. The sender replaces any DLE bytes in the data by two DLE bytes. The datalink of the receiver will convert a [DLE DLE] sequences to one DLE byte. The USB protocol does not include the DLE sequences. Note: If a RS232 error (receiver overrun, framing error, not allowed control sequence) occurs, the

datalink frame is ignored.


Message Layout

Request from PC to Spectrometer The enhanced binary coded messages between PC and Spectrometer are structured as follows (each field denotes a byte value:

DLE STX type seq len_lsb

len_msb

... data ... DLE ETX

DLE, STX start sequence type 0x20 seq message sequence number len_lsb least significant byte of length of data field in bytes len_msb most significant byte of length of data field in bytes data message field DLE, ETX end sequence

Response from Spectrometer to PC The responses from the spectrometer to the PC have the same message format as the request An error message has a special format:

DLE STX type seq 0x00 0x00 error DLE ETX DLE, STX start sequence type 0x20 seq message sequence number, as in request error error code DLE, ETX end sequence

DataMsg from Spectrometer to PC The unsollicited data messages from the spectrometer to the PC have the same message format as the requested messages, only the type field is fixed to 0x21. The sequence number is generated and incremented by the spectrometer. Data Elements The error code can have the following values: Table 1 RS232 datalink error codes Value Meaning 3 Message rejected by spectrometer, receiver buffer overflow 5 Spectrometer communication error: timeout or message rejected 8 Time out during sending 9 No response on a request received within time out Communication Procedures The enhanced protocol allows the transmission of more than one request at a time. The sequence number makes it possible to associate the answer with the according request. The spectrometer has more than one message buffer where messages may be stored (typically 5). When the message buffers are full, the spectrometer responds with an error message. Application Layer Message Layout


The message field in the enhanced binary protocol is filled with the application protocol data. The application protocol is relatively simple. The following format depicts the protocol: command_id +reserved_field+ command_specific_parameters Note 1: The reserved field is used to start the command specific parameters at a word aligned

offset. Note 2: Numbers which are larger than a single byte are sent with the most significant byte (MSB)

first. Note 3: Floating point numbers are single precision according to the IEEE 754. The MSB is the first

byte, the LSB the last. Note 4: All structures are byte aligned.

3 AvaBench Optical benches AvaBench-75-ULS 3.1 AvaBench UV/VIS Optical Benches Avantes has developed a total of 6 types of optical benches, 4 for the UV/VIS range and 2 for the NIR range, special for OEM customers. The UV/VIS optical benches AvaBench-45, AvaBench-75 and AvaBench-75-ULS are symmetrical Czerny-Turner designs with fiber optic entrance connector (Standard SMA, others possible), collimating and focussing mirror and diffraction grating. A choice of different gratings with different dispersion and blaze angels enable applications in the 200-1100nm range. The newly designed AvaBench-ULS has full mechanical compatibility for mounting holes with the AvaBench-75, so for OEM customers it is easy to upgrade to the better ULS optical bench. The newest design HS bench is a high throughput optical bench with high numerical aperture. Wavelength ranges, resolution tables, detector specifications and AvaBench options can be found in the sections on the AvaSpec products on the website and in the catalog. In the table below the main differences between the optical benches are pointed out. Technical Data AvaBench-45 AvaBench-75 AvaBench-75-ULS AvaBench-

3.2 AvaBench NIR Optical Benches Avantes has developed different types of NIR optical benches, special for OEM customers. The optical bench AvaBench-50 is available in the 1000-1750nm range for uncooled detectors. The AvaBench-50TEC is developed for NIR range from 1000-2500nm. The AvaBench-50TEC supports 6 different TE cooled detectors with 256/512 pixels. They are all symmetrical Czerny-Turner designs with fiber optic entrance connector (Standard SMA, others possible), collimating and a newly designed special toroid focussing mirror and diffraction grating. A choice of different NIR gratings can be selected with the products. Wavelength ranges, resolution tables, detector specifications and AvaBench options can be found in the sections on the AvaSpec products. In the table below the main differences between the optical benches are pointed out. The NIR AvaBenches can only be connected to the USB2 platform electronics (AS-5216 boards) and have a separate video output through a mini-coax cable. The TEC NIR benches have a heatsink and additional electrical connections for both Temperature sensor and power for the 2-stage Peltier cooling.
