6.4 Control of Exposure Lamp
6.4.1 General description
Control circuit for the exposure lamp consists of the following three blocks:
(1) Lighting device for the xenon lamp (Inverter)
Turns ON/OFF the exposure lamp.
(2) CCD circuit
Thiscircuitconvertsthereectedlightamountfromtheoriginalsurfaceandtheshadingcorrec-
tion plate to electrical signals. The exposure amount is controlled in two ways:
(a)Whitereferenceformation-readsthereectedlightamountfromthewhiteshadingcorrection
plate
(b) Black reference formation - reads the light amount at the regulation position with the expo-
sure lamp lights OFF
(3) Image processing circuit
A series of image processes such as a gamma correction and a shading correction are applied
on the output signal from the CCD. The signal is then digitized and output from this circuit.
