The Camera Control block handles both camera synchronization as well as external I/
O. The block contains the CTABs which are uses to synchronize acquisition with the
camera, determine which pixels/lines get acquired and which do not, generate con-
trol signals to the camera and to external devices. This block also handles start/stop-
ping acquisition based on triggers and encoders.
The PCI interface block handles host reads/writes to/from the board. These reads/
writes are used to program the board, and to control its modes. This block is also
responsible for DMAing image data to the host memory (or other devices). The DMA
engine uses chaining scatter-gather DMA, which can DMA a virtually unlimited
amount of data to memory without using any CPU cycles.
There is an on-board UART which can be use with cameras that support serial commu-
nications.
The IO connector block has transmitters/receivers to communicate with external
industrial equipment (triggers, encoders, light strobes etc.).
