    1919== Data transfer ==
    2020
    21 The data from the CCD is transferred to a framegrabber card in the computer using [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_Link Camera Link].  As this is a digital protocol, there are no digitisation effects to worry about.

    25 Both Specim instruments are connected to a nav-sync box that timestamps the start of acquisition against GPS time.  This measures the time from the start of acquisition pulse to the next GPS pulse-per-second.

    2727The frame grabber lag time is apparently 55ms regardless of frame rate (i.e. a frame is captured 55ms before the nav sync pulse).
