1 Introduction
The ADLINK PCIe-GIE62 is a PCI Express x4 lane, Gigabit Ether-
net (GbE) network interface card (NIC), which supports 2 indepen-
dent Gigabit Ethernet ports for multiple GigE Vision device
connections with data transfer rates up to 1000 Mb/s, like most of
the GigE Vision cameras.
The PCIe-GIE62 provides two isolated digital inputs and outputs
for connecting to external devices such position sensors. The
PCIe-GIE62 also includes two isolated programmable Trigger out-
put pulses to manage trigger events such as activating a strobe
lighting.
The GigE Vision is an open standard that allows industrial camera
to communication with computer with existing Ethernet technol-
ogy. It leverages Ethernet technology for machine vision applica-
tions, and takes advantage of the proven capabilities, such as long
distance transmission, and high bandwidth.
