Overview and Applications

For machine vision and scientific imaging developers who need

very high-resolution digital imaging with simple cabling, the

National Instruments 1428 devices are for image acquisition from

Camera Link cameras.

Camera Link

Camera Link is an industrial high-speed serial data and cabling

standard developed by National Instruments, camera vendors,

and other image acquisition companies. Created for easy

connectivity between the PC and the camera, Camera Link

provides simple, flexible cabling for high-speed, high-resolution

digital cameras. A Camera Link cable is a slender 26-pin cable with

24-bit data, clock, and enables as well as control signals. You can

control camera functionality by asynchronous serial control or

LVDS differential lines through a Camera Link cable. Camera Link

offers future data rate capabilities up to 2.3 Gb/s. You can

interchange Camera Link digital cameras from a variety of vendors

with Camera Link image acquisition hardware.

Onboard Memory

NI 1428 devices come with 16 MB of onboard high-speed

synchronous dynamic RAM (SDRAM). You can use the onboard

memory as a FIFO buffer for high-speed image acquisition.

Serial Interface

Use the serial interface on the Camera Link connector to easily

configure and control the camera with NI-IMAQ and

NI Measurement & Automation Explorer software. An NI 1428

includes a National Instruments counter/timer ASIC that generates

real-time control signals. You can use the advanced triggering to send

strobe pulses and pulse trains.

Synchronize Motion and Vision

Onboard trigger control and mapping circuitry route, monitor,

and drive the external RTSI bus trigger lines for PCI. Using the

RTSI bus, you can develop applications where motion, vision, and

measurements are tightly integrated. You can use the RTSI bus to

route an incoming trigger on your PCI-1428 to an NI measurement

device to synchronize data acquisition. The PXI trigger bus offers

similar features.

NI-IMAQ and Interchangeable Cameras

NI-IMAQ driver software for image acquisition can scale between

many types of cameras and acquisition methods. Using NI-IMAQ,

you can begin by using a low-cost RS-170 camera and image

acquisition device and then upgrade to a faster, higher-resolution

digital camera and acquisition device with minimal software

changes. When using a camera, you can configure the new board and

camera in NI Measurement & Automation Explorer and then

immediately reuse your software. Because NI-IMAQ driver software

uses one set of function calls, it works for a wide variety of cameras,

and there is no need to rewrite your software.
