About the Xtium2-CLHS PX8 Frame Grabber
Series Key Features
•
Compliant with Camera Link HS (CLHS) specification version 1.0 (X-Protocol)
(visit
http://www.visiononline.org/vision-standards.cfm
for details on industry standards)
•
Supports up to 7 lanes.
•
Bit transfer rate of 10 Gbps.
•
The specification defines a device discovery methodology that can be automated and which
provides plug and play capability
•
Camera Link HS cameras implement GenICam and associated GenCP, thus resulting in ease
of use for Teledyne DALSA or third party cameras
•
Uses a PCIe x8 Gen3 slot to maximize transfers to host computer buffers
•
Acquire from Monochrome and RGB CLHS cameras, both area scan and linescan
•
Output lookup tables
•
Vertical and Horizontal Flip supported on board
•
External Input Triggers and Shaft Encoder inputs, along with Strobe outputs
•
Supports Data Forwarding Mode, where camera image data is automatically transferred to
one or more Xtium2-CLHS boards (each installed in a separate computer), allowing
distributed processing of the acquisition.
•
Supports Multi-board Sync for trigger events, to simultaneously acquire from multiple
cameras.
•
Supports a number of acquisition events in compliance with "Teledyne DALSA’s Trigger to
Image Reliability"
•
RoHS compliant

User Programmable Configurations
Use the Xtium2-CLHS PX8 firmware loader function in the Teledyne DALSA Device manager utility
to select firmware for one of the supported modes. Firmware selection is made either during driver
installation or manually later on (see Firmware Update: Manual Mode). Currently there is only one
firmware version available:
•
Camera Link HS camera (installation default):
Support for 1 Camera Link HS camera: either monochrome 8/10/12/14/16 bits per pixel or
RGB 8 bits per pixel.
ACUPlus: Acquisition Control Unit
ACUPlus consists of a grab controller, one pixel packer, and one time base generator.
ACUPlus acquires variable frame sizes up to 64KB per horizontal line and up to 16 million lines per
frame. ACUPlus can also capture an infinite number of lines from a line scan camera without losing
a single line of data.
