10 Chapter 1: Introduction
Matrox Solios boards
The Matrox Solios family consists of five members: two PCI-X compliant,
single-slot frame grabbers, and three PCIe compliant, single-slot frame grabbers.
If purchased with the optional Processing FPGA, members also have custom image
processing capabilities.
The PCI-X compliant boards are Matrox Solios XCL and Matrox Solios XA. The
PCIe compliant boards are Matrox Solios eCL, Matrox Solios eA, and Matrox
Solios GigE. The PCIe compliant boards provide the exact same features as the
related PCI-X boards, except for the way the boards connect to the Host bus.
Acquisition with Matrox Solios eCL/XCL
Matrox Solios eCL/XCL boards are high-performance Camera Link frame
grabbers and are available in three versions: PCIe/PCI-X single-Base, PCIe/PCI-X
dual-Base/single-Medium, and PCIe/PCI-X single-Full. These are referred to as
Matrox Solios eCL/XCL-B, eCL/XCL dual-Base/single-Medium, and
eCL/XCL-F, respectively.
Note
The PCIe/PCI-X dual-Base/single-Medium board can be configured to operate
in single-Medium or dual-Base mode; for this reason, this board is referred to as
Matrox Solios eCL/XCL dual-Base/single-Medium. To change the mode of
Matrox Solios eCL/XCL, from its factory-default setting of single-Medium to
dual-Base, use MILConfig (Solios tab) and follow all on-screen instructions. Once
changed, you must restart your computer (perform a cold-boot) for changes to
take effect.
