HSLINK 12k and Frame Grabber Supplementary

Information

Teledyne DALSA designed and pioneered the HSLink as a comprehensive camera-frame

grabber communication standard targeted at machine vision industry use. The HSLink

12k and frame grabber product are based on the fundamental capabilities of this new

interface.
We are working with industry partners to improve and to broaden the interface’s appeal

for the machine vision industry and as a result expect that the original specification will

change and be improved. Our products delivered during this draft specification phase

will be field upgradeable so that customers can gain the benefit from an industry

approved interface. The table below summarizes the major functions supported with the

alpha product.

HSLINK Function

Alpha
(Q4 09)

Comment

Cable Disconnect

Recovery

Alpha cameras will only properly lock to frame

grabber when the camera is turned on before or

after starting the data acquisition program. Turn

off the camera when exiting a program that uses

the Frame grabber.

Data Forwarding

Yes

Customer must identify the Master/Slave Frame

grabber during the system configuration step.

There is no Master/Slave communication channel

support.

Communication Between

This is the GMII command channel and will

enable auto enumeration of slaves and data

resend requests from the slaves.

Video Data Resend

Master/Slave command channel used for error

communication from slave is not available at this

time. Can be field upgraded.

LED functions

GeniCam

Use the ASCII serial command set for the Alphas.

Trigger/ Direction

Control

Yes

Area/Line Scan Mode

Yes

12 bit mode

Data will be packed on the Link. This will exceed

the PCIx 8 Gen 1 bandwidth.

Missed Trigger Flag

DATA CRC Error Flag

Yes

CRC error counters available

Header Error Flag

Yes

Header error counter available

8b/10B Error counter

Yes

Enables BER calculation

Test Patterns

Yes

Good for system debug

Data Lost Flag

Indicates missing rows of information

Camera Data buffer

overflow

Idle Lock Lost

Far end Reset

Cmd Packet Failure
