The Neon-CL Family
The Neon-CL family of frame grabbers have been designed to handle a wide range Base CL/PoCL machine vision applications. The first model is the Neon-CLB, the world’s first PoCL frame grabber that provided Base CL acquisition on an OEM priced platform. Next is the Neon-CLD which supports two cameras on the same low cost x4 PCIe platform. The newest member, the Neon-CLQ, supports capture from four cameras simultaneously. The Neon-CL models are incredibly flexible and powerful, yet can substantially lower your system cost.
The Neon-CL Features
■ Supports one to four Base CL cameras
■ Provides Power over Camera Link (PoCL) for all cameras
■ Supports both PoCL and non-PoCL cameras
■ Provides Safe Power, full protection from all CL power line faults
■ Fully backwards compatible with non-PoCL cameras and cables
■ All cameras can be independently synchronized
■ Separate I/O for each camera
■ Support simultaneous serial communications to all cameras
■ Each camera appears to Windows as a separate frame grabber
■ Acquires up to 24 bits at 85 MHz
■ FlowThru technology means that no on-board memory is needed
■ Supports images up to 256K x 128K
■ Acquire variable length frames from line scan cameras
■ Acquire image sequences well beyond the 4GB barrier
■ No frame rate limit
■ Triggers and encoders for external control of acquisition
■ Programmable signal generator for camera control (independent for each camera)
■ Quadrature encoder support including sophisticated triggering schemes
■ Encoder divider/multiplier
■ Drivers, utilities and examples for Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7
■ Supports on both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms
■ Drivers for most 3rd party processing environments (e.g. HALCON, LabView, VisionPro, MATLAB, etc.)
■ All models are “half size” PCIe cards
■ RoHS compliant
