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.
Benefits
PCIe 3.0 (Gen 3) x8 Bus
- 7,800 MB/s peak bus bandwidth
- 6,700 MB/s sustained bus bandwidth
Long Cable Support
- 40 meters at CXP-6 speed (6.25 Gbps)
- 100 meters at CXP-3 speed (3 Gbps)
Power Over CoaXPress
- Feed your camera up to 17 W per channel under 24 VDC with automatic device detection, measurement and overload protection.
- Total and per-channel voltage and current measurement is possible, allowing validation and performance deviation monitoring.
Use Standard Coaxial Cables
- A single inexpensive cable for data transfer, camera control, trigger and power supply
- Top reliability and flexibility, performs in the harshest environments
Robust Connectors For Reliable Connections
Coaxlink CXP-6 uses DIN 1.0/2.3 connectors with push/pull latching system.
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.
Compatible With eGrabber
- eGrabber Studio: eGrabber's interactive evaluation and demonstration application, giving access to GenICam features exposed by GenTL Producers
- GenTL Console: A command-line tool giving access to the functions and commands exposed by the Euresys GenTL Producers
C2C-Link Camera Synchronization
Allows to accurately synchronize multiple area-scan or line-scan cameras connected
- to the same card
- to different cards in the same PC
- to different cards in different PCs
Compliant With GenICam
Including support for:
- GenApi
- The Standard Feature Naming Convention (SFNC)
- GenTL
Direct GPU Transfer
-
- Sample programs for AMD DirectGMA and NVIDIA (CUDA) available.
- Direct GPU transfer eliminates unnecessary system memory copies, lowers CPU overhead, and reduces latency, resulting in significant performance improvements in data transfer times for applications.
- Direct capture of image data to GPU memory is available using AMD’s DirectGMA. Compatible with AMD FirePro W5x00 and above and all AMD FirePro S series products.
High-Performance DMA (Direct Memory Access)
-
- Direct transfer into user-allocated memory
- Hardware scatter-gather support
Windows, Linux, And macOS Drivers Available
Including support for Intel 64-bit platforms as well as ARM 64-bit platforms.
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.
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
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.
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 The eGrabber Driver is a library of classes that provides an easy-to-use programming interface for image acquisition from Coaxlink and Grablink Duo frame grabbers. eGrabber features a high-level, object oriented, user-friendly API compatible with C++, C# and Python.
