Advanced Controls Overview
Visual Indicators
X64-CL iPro features a unique visual LED indicator to facilitate system installation and setup. This provides visual feedback indicating when the camera is connected properly and sending data.
External Event Synchronization
Two sets of dedicated trigger inputs and strobe signals are provided to synchronize precisely image captures with external events.
Camera Link Communications ports
Two PC independent communication ports provide Camera Link controls for camera configurations.
These ports do not require additional PC resources like free interrupts or I/O address space. Accessible via the board device driver, the communication ports preset a seamless interface to Windows-based standard communication applications like HyperTerminal, etc. The communication ports are accessible directly from the Camera Link connectors.
Quadrature Shaft Encoder
Important feature for web scanning applications, the Quadrature-Shaft-Encoder inputs allow synchronized line captures from external web encoders.
PCI 64 bit Interface
The X64-CL iPro is a universal PCI slot board, compliant with the PCI version 2.2 specification for 64 bit devices. Transfer rates up to 528 Mbytes/sec with the appropriate camera are possible. The X64-CL iPro board occupies one computer expansion slot and one chassis opening.
About the X-I/O Module
The optional X-I/O module adds general purpose software controllable I/O signals to the X64-CL iPro.
The X-I/O module provides 2 opto-coupled inputs, 6 logic signal inputs (5V or 24V), and 8 TTL outputs
(NPN or PNP type selectable). All inputs or outputs provide a more electrically robust interface to outside devices offering better protection against real-world conditions. The module also makes available 5V or
12V dc power from the host system.
The X-I/O module can be either purchased with the X64-CL iPro board or installed into the computer system at a later time. The module occupies one adjacent PCI slot and connects to the X64-CL iPro via a ribbon cable. X-I/O Module external connections are made via the DB37 connector on the module bracket.
X-I/O requires X64-CL iPro board driver version 1.10 or later and Sapera LT version 5.30 or later. See
"
Appendix: X-I/O Module Option " on page 109
for details and specifications.
