The PC2-Vision frame grabber is a high-performance, PCI image
acquisition board developed for cost-sensitive machine vision applications. The
board's acquisition circuitry is exceptionally versatile and designed to interface
with standard (RS-170 and CCIR), nonstandard (progressive scan), RGB and dual-
channel analog cameras. The PC2-Vision simplifies camera
interfacing by offering fully programmable timing coupled with efficient cabling
and a variety of trigger, strobe and asynchronous reset options. It features six
inputs and high digitization rates, making it an ideal solution for a wide variety
of industrial inspection, identification and gauging applications. The
PC2-Vision has been engineered within DALSA's Trigger-to-Image
Reliability framework to ensure highly reliable and efficient acquisition control
throughout the entire image capture sequence.
The board's acquisition circuitry is exceptionally versatile and designed to
interface with standard (RS-170 and CCIR), nonstandard (progressive scan), RGB and
dual channel analog cameras. The PC2-Vision simplifies camera
interfacing by offering fully programmable timing coupled with efficient cabling
and a variety of trigger, strobe and asynchronous reset options. It features six
inputs and high digitization rates making it an ideal solution for a large variety
of industrial inspection, identification and gauging applications. The board's
outstanding feature is trigger-to-image reliability, which provides the highest
degree of assurance in image acquisition control.
The PC2-Vision acquires from standard and non-standard monochrome
and RGB analog sources. Its A/D converter can digitize up to three synchronized
monochrome cameras. Alternatively, simultaneous acquisition is supported through a
frame delay mode feature allowing concurrent capture from all six inputs to
increase camera interface flexibility. The PC2-Vision features
anti-aliasing filters with cutoff frequency of 6MHz or 12MHz that are software
selectable and a filter bypass option. A high accuracy 40MHz triple channel 8-bit
analog to digital converter offers gain and offset control to precisely match the
video voltage level of the camera.
The Acquisition Control Unit (ACU) is a core technology on the PC2-Vision that manages the synchronization of all camera functions,
including camera-timing controls. Each of the six camera inputs has its own VS,
HS, frame reset and WEN signals. This offers remarkable flexibility in the way
cameras can be interfaced to the PC2-Vision. The ACU is able to
generate timing information to cameras through those signals enabling the frame
grabber to become the timing reference ('master') of the vision system. This
feature is useful as it allows cameras to easily genlock together. In addition, a
robust sync extractor permits recovery of signals from the most difficult
synchronization sources.
Transfers to host are performed via the PCI bus. The PC2-Vision
supports PCI32 platform where as PC2-Vision Express supports PCIe
x1 platform. The PC2-Vision is 5V and 3.3V PCI compliant,
supporting the widest range of PCs based on the PCI bus architecture. The PCIe x1
platform offers 250MB/sec of additional bandwidth on top of what is available
using the conventional PCI bus architecture. This is possible as the PCI Express
platform offers a point-to-point interconnect where each device has independent
bandwidth.
The hardware scatter-gather engine for the PC2-Vision requires
minimal CPU involvement as it automatically retrieves each descriptor (from host
memory) representing the non-contiguous host buffer. The board allows transfers to
host memory or to display. Direct transfers of monochrome images to a YUV overlay
for display are supported in hardware by adding neutral chrominance to the pixel
data. This minimizes the amount of DirectDraw® work the CPU hasto perform. When
acquiring from RGB sources, the PC2-Vision allows the transfer of
32-bit packed RGB data into a single host buffer or each color plane into its own
host buffer. This planar mode of operation is also used with genlocked cameras to
associate a different host buffer to each camera. The combination of packed and
planar transfers gives maximum flexibility to easily implement image processing
functionality in machine vision systems.
The Parallel I/O controller offers a convenient way to interface the
PC2-Vision to other controllers within the machine vision system.
It features eight input, eight output, strobe input and output signals (to latch
8-bit data into onboard registers) and a dedicated interrupt pin with programmable
polarity. The parallel I/O also provides two dedicated +5V power pins with
protection fuse (500 mA).
PC2-Vision series boards are supported by Teledyne DALSA's
SaperaTM Essential Vision Software. Sapera Essential is a suite of image
acquisition and processing libraries, tools and utilities, including a powerful
camera configuration utility called CamExpertTM and an image processing evaluation
tool in Sapera Architect. In addition to the more than 300 image processing
functions, Sapera Essential offers several useful image processing tools,
including pattern finding (area and edge-based techniques), OCR, barcode,
calibration and blob analysis.
PC2-Vision Series boards are engineered within Teledyne DALSA's
Trigger-to-Image Reliability frame work ensuring both efficient and reliable
vision inspection by securing the image acquisition process, providing
traceability and recovery when errors do occur.
The PC2Vision series is also supported by Teledyne DALSA's IFC
software development toolkit. IFC and Sapera Essential applications can be
developed using C/C++ and Visual Basic® using Microsoft® Visual Studio 6.0 (or
higher) or Visual Basic® 6.0 (or higher) development platforms. In addition, the
Sapera Essential development toolkit can be used with C#1 under Microsoft® Visual
Studio® .Net®. PC2-Vision Series.
