Connect up to 8 CXP-12 cameras to a single Coaxlink card
Unlock compact and cost-effective system design with our Coaxlink Octo CXP-12, featuring 8x CXP-12 connections. A single board can support up to 8 CXP-12 cameras with individual connections, or get flexible camera combinations – such as 5 cameras with one camera using 4x CXP-12 connections and the remaining four using single CXP-12 connections. This versatility empowers you to build tailored systems that meet your unique needs.
Acquire images from the fastest and highest resolution cameras
- Highest data acquisition rate in the industry
- Up to 10,000 MB/s camera bandwidth from camera to host PC memory
Line-Scan Triggering Capabilities
Allied Vision frame grabbers offer many capabilities to synchronize line-scan or 1D cameras, sensors and lighting controllers. Frame grabbers can control the camera scanning rate based on the signals received from a motion encoder.
They support continuous web scanning (to inspect infinite, continuously moving surfaces without losing a single line) and discrete object scanning (to acquire the image of objects moving in front of the camera).
Area-Scan Triggering Capabilities
Allied Vision frame grabbers offer many capabilities to synchronize area-scan or 2D cameras, sensors and lighting controllers, for stationery or moving objects in the field of view, or moving cameras.

Memento Event Logging Tool
-
- Memento is an advanced development and debugging tool available for Coaxlink and Grablink cards.
- Memento records an accurate log of all the events related to the camera, the frame grabber and its driver as well as the application.
- It provides the developer with a precise timeline of time-stamped events, along with context information and logic analyzer view.
- It provides valuable assistance during application development and debugging, as well as during machine operation.
Windows, Linux, And macOS Drivers Available
Including support for Intel 64-bit platforms as well as ARM 64-bit platforms.
Other benefits
Flexible Line-Scan Camera Operation With The Rate Converter
-
- The rate converter is a smart, programmable frequency multiplier/divider.
- Used with motion encoders and line-scan cameras, it allows the user to choose the aspect ratio of the pixels in the image.
- It provides a way to calibrate the acquisition chain to easily reach square (1:1 aspect ratio) pixels.
Line-Scan Metadata Insertion
When activated, this feature records metadata beside image data. Line metadata are captured every acquired image line. Buffer metadata are only captured when the first image line of a buffer is acquired. The metadata are composed with a configurable set of general purpose event counters, quadrature encoder position counters and/or I/O line status. This feature allows line-scan applications to correlate image data with system events including motion encoder positions.
General Purpose I/O Lines
-
- Compatible with a wide range of sensors and motion encoders.
- High-speed differential inputs: Quadrature motion encoder support up to 5 MHz.
- Isolated current-sense inputs: 5V, 12V, 24V signaling voltages accepted, up to 50 kHz, individual galvanic isolation up to 250VDC and 170VAC RMS.
- Isolated contact outputs.
- High-speed 5V-compliant TTL inputs/ LVTTL outputs.
