Coaxlink Quad CXP-12 Value

• 7,800 MB/s peak bus bandwidth
• 6,700 MB/s sustained bus bandwidth

• 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.

• Compatible with a wide range of sensors and motion encoders
• Eight Isolated current-sense inputs (up to 30V, signaling up to 200 kHz, individual galvanic isolation up to 250VDC and 170 VAC RMS)
• Four high-speed differential inputs (quadrature motion encoder support up to 5 MHz)
• Four isolated contact outputs (up to 30V, 100 mA, signaling up to 100 KHz)
• Four high-speed 5V-compliant TTL inputs/ LVTTL outputs (signaling up to 5 MHz)

Coaxlink supports 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).

• A trigger is used to start the acquisition when the part is in position. Hardware triggers come from the board's I/O lines. Software triggers come from the application.
• After it is started, the acquisition either:
  • Continues indefinitely (for web inspection applications)
  • Continues for a programmable number of lines (to acquire the image of objects of a known length)
  • Continues until an end trigger is received (to acquire the image of objects of a variable length)
• An optional trigger delay is available to postpone the beginning of the acquisition for a programmable number of lines.

• 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.

Including support for

• GenApi
• The Standard Feature Naming Convention (SFNC)
• GenTL

• Highest data acquisition rate in the industry
• 50 Gbit/s (5,000 MB/s) bandwidth from camera to host PC memory

• A single inexpensive cable for data transfer, camera control, trigger and power supply
• Top reliability and flexibility, performs in the harshest environments

• 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.

• Direct transfer into user-allocated memory and hardware boards that expose PCI addresses
• Hardware scatter-gather support
• 64-bit addressing capability

• The Coaxlink frame grabber controls the camera scanning rate based on the signals received from a motion encoder. When the parts move faster, the acquisition line rate of the camera increases. When the parts move slower, the acquisition line rate of the camera decreases.
• The Coaxlink boards interpret A/B signals from quadrature motion encoders to know in which direction (forward or backward) the part is moving.
• Optionally, the Coaxlink board can be instructed to acquire lines only when the object is moving forward or only when the object is moving backward.
• A feature called Backward Motion Cancellation stops the acquisition when a backward motion is detected. The line acquisition automatically resumes when the motion is again in the forward direction, at the exact place where the acquisition was interrupted.
• A Rate Converter allows the camera to acquire lines at any programmable resolution lower or higher than the resolution of the motion encoder. This gives the designer incredible freedom and flexibility during the development of the application.
• A Rate Divider allows the camera to acquire lines at a resolution lower than the resolution of the motion encoder. It divides the frequency of the incoming encoder signal by a programmable integer.

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

• Including support for Intel 64-bit platforms as well as ARM 64-bit platforms

• 40 meters at CXP-12 speed (12.5 Gbps)
• 72 meters at CXP-6 speed (6.25 Gbps)
• 100 meters at CXP-3 speed (3 Gbps)

• Trusted push and turn, bayonet-style positive lock
• Allows for quick and easy connects and disconnects

• 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.

• A trigger is used to start the acquisition when the part is in position. Hardware triggers come from the Coaxlink's I/O lines. Software triggers come from the application.
• An optional trigger delay is available to postpone the acquisition for a programmable time.
• A trigger decimation function allows to skip some of the triggers.
• Camera exposure control allows the application to control the exposure time of the camera.
• When the acquisition starts, at the appropriate timing, the Coaxlink board generates a signal to control an illumination device connected to one of its output lines.

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.
