Glossary of Terms
Bandwidth
Describes the measure of data transfer capacity. PCI devices must share the maximum PCI bus bandwidth when transferring data to and from system memory or other devices.
CAM
Sapera camera file that uses the file extension CCA by default. Files using the CCA extension, also called
CAM files (CAMERA files), contain all parameters which describe the camera video signal characteristics and operation modes (i.e. what the camera outputs).
Channel
Camera data path that includes all parts of a video line.
Checksum
A value used to ensure data is stored without error. It is created by calculating the binary values in a block of data using some algorithm and storing the results with the data.
Contiguous memory
A block of physical memory, occupying consecutive addresses.
Firmware
Software such as a board driver that is stored in nonvolatile memory mounted on that board.
Frame buffer
An area of memory used to hold a frame of image data. A frame buffer may exist on the acquisition hardware or be allocated by the acquisition hardware device driver in host system memory.
Grab
Acquiring an image frame by means of a frame grabber.
Host
Refers to the computer system that supports the installed frame grabber.
Host buffer
Refers to a frame buffer allocated in the physical memory of the host computer system.
LSB
Least Significant Bit in a binary data word.

MSB
Most Significant Bit in a binary data word.
PCI 32
Peripheral Component Interconnect. The PCI local bus is a 32-bit high-performance expansion bus intended for interconnecting add-in boards, controllers, and processor/memory systems.
PCI 64
A superset of the PCI specification providing a 64 bit data path and a 66 MHz clock.
Pixel
Picture Element. The number of pixels describes the number of digital samples taken of the analog video signal. The number of pixels per video line by the number of active video lines describes the acquisition image resolution. The binary size of each pixel (i.e., 8-bits, 15-bits, 24-bits) defines the number of gray levels or colors possible for each pixel.
Scatter Gather
Host system memory allocated for frame buffers that is virtually contiguous but physically scattered throughout all available memory.
Tap
Data path from a camera that includes a part of or whole video line. When a camera tap outputs a partial video line, the multiple camera tap data must be constructed by combining the data in the correct order.
VIC
Sapera camera parameter definition file that uses the file extension CVI by default. Files using the CVI extension, also know as VIC files (Configuration Video files), contain all operating parameters related to the frame grabber board (i.e. what the frame grabber can actually do with camera controls or incoming video).
