OVERVIEW
The
picasso
TM
cPCI-LS is a high-performance ‘plug and play’ PC-card for the CompactPCI-bus.
It enables each standard CompactPCI system to capture and store single images for image
processing. The
picasso
TM
cPCI-LS operates as a CompactPCI bus master, allowing it to transfer
images directly to the system memory without impacting the processor.
The
picasso
TM
cPCI-LS has two operating modes:
-
one-camera mode
-
two-camera mode
In one-camera mode the grabber can be used for 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 bits single channel cameras or
8 bits dual channel. In two-camera mode the grabber can be used for two 8 bits cameras.
The video modes are software controlled and accept progressive scan and interlaced both in
standard and non-standard formats (eg line scan).
The maximum pixel-format is 4096 pixels per line and 4096 line per frame. In 8-bit per pixel
mode the maximum is 8192 (8K) pixels per line.
The maximum data rate (pixel clock) is 40 MHz. This means a maximum throughput of
80 MB/sec.
