Camera UV Exposure Test Plan
Task Description: Calibrate one of the EM cameras using known colour sources and expose it to UV radiation to determine camera degradation over time
Completion Deadline: 17 Nov. 2020
Team Member: Matt, Nathalie, Stephanie, C-TAPE
Resources Required: C-TAPE, Payload EM Camera Model, Arducam camera development board, Arduino Mega, red, green, and blue calibration targets
Verification Activities: V-PLD-1640
Pass Criteria: Camera still takes images after UV exposure, UV degradation (if any) can be quantified as a function of exposure
Detailed Description:
Using the EM camera, Arducam development board, and Arudino Mega, take and save images of the red, green, and blue calibration targets
Disconnect the camera;
Place the camera in a nitrogen environment so that the camera bore axis is directly facing the VUV light source
Turn the light source on for TIME PERIOD
Remove the camera from the chamber, connect it to the Arducam module, and take a new picture of each calibration target under the same lighting conditions.
Repeat 3-5 until the camera is too degraded to take images
