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.

Other benefits
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.
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.
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.
CustomLogic: Your own FPGA logic
- CustomLogic is an FPGA design kit enabling the design and upload of FPGA code to a Coaxlink board
- It is compatible with the Coaxlink Octo, Coaxlink Quad CXP-12 and Coaxlink QSFP+ for which up to 70% of their AMD Kintex Ultrascale XCKU035 FPGA resources are available
- The design phase uses the Xilinx Vivado development tools (not provided)
- Using CustomLogic does not require any additional hardware
