ACUPlus: Acquisition Control Unit
ACUPlus consists of a grab controller, one pixel packer, and one time base generator. ACUPlus
delivers a flexible acquisition front end and supports pixel clock rates of up to 85MHz.
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.
