• 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.

# CustomLogic Design

• 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 and Coaxlink Quad CXP-12 for which up to 70% of their Xilinx 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

# Direct GPU transfer

# High-performance DMA (Direct Memory Access)

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

# Area-scan triggering capabilities

• 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.

# Line-scan triggering capabilities 1/2

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.

# Line-scan triggering capabilities 2/2

• 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.

# 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.

# The Coaxlink driver includes the following tools:

• Genicam Browser: An application giving access to the Genicamfeatures exposed by the GenTL Producer(s) in the system.
• GenTL Console: A command-line tool giving access to the functions and commands exposed by the Euresys GenTL Producer.

# At a Glance

• Four 250 MPixels/s JPEG encoders
• Compatible with 8-bit/pixel Bayer CFA cameras
• Two streams per camera: JPEG stream and RGB preview stream
• Four CoaXPress CXP-12 connections: 5,000 MB/s camera bandwidth
• PCIe 3.0 (Gen 3) x8 bus: 6,700 MB/s bus bandwidth

# Benefits

# Applications

The Coaxlink Quad CXP-12 JPEG enables the compact implementation of a multi-channel ultra-high-resolution image acquisition and recording system. The embedded pixel processing drastically reduces the CPU workload to monitor and compress image streams.

# Description

• The 4-camera firmware variant of the Coaxlink Quad CXP-12 JPEG implements four independent image acquisition channels with, for each of them, a Bayer CFA decoder and a baseline JPEG encoder that can process up to 250 Megapixels/s, for a total of 1 billion color pixels per second.
• Each channel delivers two concurrent streams: a "JPEG" encoded stream for recording and a "Preview" stream for monitoring.
• The JPEG stream delivers, with a typical latency of only 20 lines, 4:2:2 full-resolution JFIF-compliant encoded images compatible with standard JPEG decoders. The JPEG encoding quality is configurable from 1 to 100.
• The Preview stream provides 8-bit Bayer full-resolution, 24-bit RGB full-resolution or 24-bit RGB low-resolution images.

# Support of JFIF image format

The GenICam Browser and GenTL Viewer applications now support JFIF images.

# PCIe 3.0 (Gen 3) x8 bus

• 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 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.

• Genicam Browser: An application giving access to the Genicamfeatures exposed by the GenTL Producer(s) in the system.
• GenTL Console: A command-line tool giving access to the functions and commands exposed by the Euresys GenTL Producer.

# Area-scan triggering capabilities

• 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.

• 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.

# 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.

# High-performance DMA (Direct Memory Access)

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

# Area-scan triggering capabilities

• 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.

# Line-scan triggering capabilities 1/2

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.

# Line-scan triggering capabilities 2/2

• 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.

# 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.

# The Coaxlink driver includes the following tools:

• Genicam Browser: An application giving access to the Genicamfeatures exposed by the GenTL Producer(s) in the system.

![Close-up of a green printed circuit board with visible components and a central fan (no readable text or symbols)](.coaxlink-series-datasheet-20230515pdf/c3942f12e04951a288e637c01a77515b749c6649a0b3530b88d187adfe59893d.jpg)

# At a Glance

• Laser line extraction with zero host CPU usage
• Single and Dual Laser Line Extraction into a depth map
• Real-time generation of 16-bit 3D height maps
• Choice of algorithms: Maximum, Peak, Center of Gravity (COG)
• Precision: up to 1/256 pixel (with Peak and COG algorithms)
• Performance: 19,000 profiles/s from 1024 x 128 images. 38,000 profiles/s from 1024 x 64 images

# Benefits

# Laser line extraction with zero host CPU usage

The Coaxlink's on-board FPGA measures the position of the laser line during the image acquisition without loading the host CPU.

# Real-time generation of 16-bit 3D height maps

The Coaxlink directly transfers the computed 3D height map to the host PC memory without delay, in real-time.

# Acquire images from the fastest and highest resolution cameras

• Highest data acquisition rate in the industry
• 25 Gbit/s (2,500 MB/s) bandwidth from camera to host PC memory

# Dual laser line extraction

Supported by software and hardware implementations, the dual laser line extraction process reduces the effect of occlusions. Occlusions occur when some parts of the objects are not lit by any laser. Using two lasers with different angles reduces these undefined areas. The object-based calibration included in Easy3DLaserLine allows combining the acquired data into a single calibrated point cloud.

# Long cable support for Coaxlink CXP-6

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

# 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 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.

# 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.

# High-performance DMA (Direct Memory Access)

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

# Area-scan triggering capabilities

• 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.

# The Coaxlink driver includes the following tools:

• Genicam Browser: An application giving access to the Genicamfeatures exposed by the GenTL Producer(s) in the system.
• GenTL Console: A command-line tool giving access to the functions and commands exposed by the Euresys GenTL Producer.

• Coaxlink CXP-6 uses DIN 1.0/2.3 connectors with push/pull latching system

# Connect up to 4 cameras to a single Coaxlink card

# Memento Event Logging Tool

• Memento is an advanced development and debugging tool available for Coaxlink 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 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.

• Isolated contact outputs.
• High-speed 5V-compliant TTL inputs/ LVTTL outputs.

# High-performance DMA (Direct Memory Access)

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

# Area-scan triggering capabilities

• 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.

# Line-scan triggering capabilities 1/2

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.

# Line-scan triggering capabilities 2/2

• 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.

# 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.

# The Coaxlink driver includes the following tools:

• Genicam Browser: An application giving access to the Genicamfeatures exposed by the GenTL Producer(s) in the system.
• GenTL Console: A command-line tool giving access to the functions and commands exposed by the Euresys GenTL Producer.

# Benefits

# CoaXPress Data Forwarding

• Allows to distribute the image processing workload among several host PCs

# PCIe 3.0 (Gen 3) x4 bus

• 3,300 MB/s sustained bus bandwidth

# Acquire images from the fastest and highest resolution cameras

• Highest data acquisition rate in the industry
• 25 Gbit/s (2,500 MB/s) bandwidth from camera to host PC memory

# Long cable support for Coaxlink CXP-6

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

# 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 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 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.

# 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.

# High-performance DMA (Direct Memory Access)

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

# Area-scan triggering capabilities

• 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.

# Line-scan triggering capabilities 1/2

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.

# Line-scan triggering capabilities 2/2

• 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.

# 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.

# The Coaxlink driver includes the following tools:

• Genicam Browser: An application giving access to the Genicamfeatures exposed by the GenTL Producer(s) in the system.
• GenTL Console: A command-line tool giving access to the functions and commands exposed by the Euresys GenTL Producer.

• Coaxlink CXP-12 uses Micro-BNC (HD-BNC) connectors with trusted push and turn, bayonet-style positive lock, for quick and easy connects and disconnects

# Connect up to 4 cameras to a single Coaxlink card

# Memento Event Logging Tool

• Memento is an advanced development and debugging tool available for Coaxlink 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 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.

# 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.

# High-performance DMA (Direct Memory Access)

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

# Area-scan triggering capabilities

• 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.

# Line-scan triggering capabilities 1/2

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.

# Line-scan triggering capabilities 2/2

• 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.

# 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.

# The Coaxlink driver includes the following tools:

• Genicam Browser: An application giving access to the Genicamfeatures exposed by the GenTL Producer(s) in the system.
