ADLINK brings new series of PCIe camera link frame grabbers
ADLINK Technology has announced the release of the PCIe-CML64F series of high performance PCI Express frame grabbers that provide one base/medium/full configuration Camera Link interface. The PCIe-CML64F series fully utilizes PCI Express technology to deliver unprecedented image acquisition rates of up to 85 MHz and is designed specifically for high-bandwidth machine vision applications, such as FPD, and PCB surface inspection.
ADLINK (www.adlink.com) is a global company with headquarters and manufacturing in Taiwan; R&D and integration in Taiwan, China and the United States; and an extensive network of worldwide sales and support offices.
The PCIe-CML64F series strikes a perfect balance between functionality and cost with its high-speed and high-performance design.
“The PCIe-CML64F is ideal for industrial machine vision and biomedical imaging applications, such as FPD and PCB surface inspection. This frame grabber can also be used to perform defect analysis by setting up a line trigger to precisely record high-speed images, and edge inspection by measuring cracks near the edges and corners of the surface,’ said Ethan Huang, senior director of the Measurement and Automation Product Segment at ADLINK.
The PCIe-CML64F series delivers all the high bandwidth advantages of the PCI Express bus while acquiring at the maximum Camera Link rate of 680 MB/s across an x4 lane.
The PCIe-CML64F series supports both Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Windows XP 64-bit. ADLINK also provides CamCreator®, a simple yet powerful utility to setup, configure, test, and debug the system without requiring any software programming.
ADLINK has also announced availability of the PXI-3950, the most powerful PXI controller available on the market.
The PXI-3950 combines the latest Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 2.2 GHz processor, Mobile Intel GME965 chipset and 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 memory, providing cutting-edge performance for high-end test and measurement applications, including RF testing, sound/vibration analysis and automatic optical inspection.
The PXI-3950 is also the first PXI controller designed with Mobile Intel GME965 chipset, which supports the latest Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 processor. This combination provides an overall 10 to 15 percent performance improvement over the GM945/T7400 configuration through faster CPU and memory clocks and greater front-side bus bandwidth.
In addition, the PXI-3950 incorporates a dual Gigabit Ethernet port configuration, which allows the use of one GbE port for LAN connectivity and the other port for a determinative bandwidth and latency connection with LXI instruments.
“As the newest addition to ADLINK’s family of PXI controllers for hybrid testing systems, the PXI-3950 integrates multiple I/O interfaces, including LXI, GPIB, USB and serial, to support a wide variety of bench-top instruments,”said Jeff Munch, chief technology officer at ADLINK. “The introduction of the PXI-3950, and utilization of Intel’s new mobile chipset, demonstrates ADLINK’s commitment to offering cutting edge technology for the test and measurement marketplace.”
The PXI-3950 is an ideal controller for ADLINK’s PXIS-2558T 8-slot 3U PXI chassis, which includes an embedded 8.4” LCD touch panel screen and features smart chassis status monitoring and control, an operating temperature of 32-131 degrees F, a quiet 41.6 dBA operating noise level and a lightweight 13 lbs rigid construction for both bench-top and portable test and measurement applications.
The PXI-3950 system controller will be available in May at a US list price of $3,650. The PXI-2558T portable chassis is currently available at a list price of $2,495.
Powerful, multi-task processing with EMB-9458T
AAEON’s new embedded motherboard ,EMB-9458T, adopts the latest Intel Core 2 Duo (Merom)/ Core Duo/ Celeron M (Yonah) processors and is based on Intel 945GM+ICH7M chipset configuration for better power management and enhanced performance.
EMB-9458T targets medical instruments, POS (Point-of-Sale) machines, automated kiosks, advanced automation for buildings and homes since these applications demand multi-task processing and high performance.
Although the Mini-ITX motherboard is a bit larger than Compact or Subcompact boards, the EMB-9458T a great solution to fulfill the demands of flexible expansion interfaces and various functions.
EMB-9458T deploys two 240-pin DIMM and DDRII 400/533/667 system memory up to 4GB.
The LCD interface is 18-bit dual-channel LVDS TFT LCD and 2nd 24-bit dual-channel LVDS through an optional SDVO card----TF-PER-V04B, 2nd DVI through TF-PER-V03B, for multi-display capability.
Moreover, EMB-9458T supports CRT/LVDS, CRT/TV, CRT/DVI, CRT/LVDS/DVI, CRT/LVDS/TV, CRT/DVI/TV, CRT/LVDS/2nd DVI or LVDS, CRT/DVI/2nd DVI or LVDS simultaneous/ dual view displays.
As a multi-functional embedded motherboard, the EMB-9458T accommodates one PCI slot, two optional PCI-E?x1?slots, one Mini PCI slot, four RS-232 ports, one RS-232 TTL only/GPS port, one RS-232/422/485, eight USB2.0 ports, multiple Digital I/O ports, and Type II CompactFlash storage, providing versatile expansion options for diverse embedded applications.
“EMB-9458T with mobile-optimized Intel Core 2 Duo processor is a cutting-edge embedded motherboard designed to cope with increasingly heavy loading embedded systems.
“This model improves the power management function, such as power on after power failure. It will notify you if the system has errors to prevent data loss,” said Barnabas Chen, product manager of the Embedded Computing Division of AAEON (www.aaen.com).
The two SATA interfaces on the EMB-9458T provide optional RAID 0 and RAID 1 functions. RAID 0 makes EMB-9458T a high performance computing PC with a compact, mini ITX motherboard size. Furthermore, the EMB-9458T is a highly reliable processing system in terms of the RAID 1 function and prevents data loss to ensure data security. In addition to the RAID 0 and RAID 1 features, the EMB-9458T has two gigabit LANs for faster network connections.
