Video stream generation
6.6
Chameleon is designed to generate different video streams compliant with CoaXPress
standard 1.0 over 4 CoaXPress links.
When connected to acquisition device, the board communicates with Frame Grabber
device to determine link parameters, such as data rate.
For different video generation options please refer to Chameleon Application User Manual.
Auxiliary Input/Output signals
6.7
The auxiliary signal of Chameleon board can be used to initiate on-board events,
transmitted to other devices or rerouted from other signals, such as CoaXPress triggers and
GPIO’s.
Additionally, these auxiliary signals can be used to emulate complex devices, such as
encoders and drive controls.
The GPIOs can be controlled from the Chameleon API and be set as a simulation trigger
sources. The API enables routing of any input to any output as well as to the CXP IO and
Trigger lines. Please see an API documentation for more information regarding the GPIO
configuration.
The Chameleon’s GPIO structure consists of 2 corresponding IO headers with 2.54 mm
(100 th) pitch.
