General

The EureCard GrabLink Value is an affordable PCI Camera Link frame

grabber for cost-effective industrial applications. Following the base

configuration of the standard, Grablink Value acquires images from

one Camera Link compliant camera, single-tap (8 to 16 bits), dual-tap

(8 to12 bits) or RGB (3 x 8 bits).

Featured for industrial applications such as inspection of high-speed

moving objects, web inspection or high-resolution acquisition, GrabLink

Value provides a perfect control of line-scan and area-scan cameras,

thanks to its system connector. GrabLink comes with the MultiCam

driver, which drastically simplifies its integration into your machine

vision application.

Camera Control

The EureCard Grablink Value is fiitted with a DB9 connector. This

system connector allows to control a line-scan or an area-scan camera.

The two lines A1 and A2 are optically isolated. TRG is an input that

can be used as a trigger, or as a general purpose input. STR is an

output that can be used as a strobe control, or as a general purpose

output.

GrabLink includes a programmable "rate converter". The encoder

signal is received through the System connector, and digitally filtered.

The rate converter allows you to accommodate the frequency of the

encoder pulses. The line acquisition rate may be programmed either

higher or lower than the encoder pulse rate, thus allowing you to keep

the same encoder for several applications and always get a perfect

square-pixel image.

The "Scan Mode" of GrabLink allows to use line-scan cameras in

"Page Mode" or "Web Mode". In "Page Mode", the page trigger

event triggers the acquisition of a given number of lines. The system

thus behaves as a 2D acquisition system. The page trigger may be

internal (software command) or external (Frame Trigger input). There

is a programmable delay between the page trigger event and the

actual start of the page. In "Web Mode", the system continuously

acquires and transfers lines from the camera, without ever dropping a

line.

Multi-tap camera byte-reordering and tap reversal supported

Frame Buffer

16 Mbyte SDRAM frame buffer
