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 highspeed, high-resolution digital cameras. A Camera Link cable, a slender 26-pin cable with 24-bit data and clock, enables as well as controls 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. Digital I/O Each NI PCIe-1430 includes one trigger line and two Camera Link connectors that work with any base configuration Camera Link camera. Additional I/O lines for advanced triggering, pulse-train outputs, and Figure 1. Camera Link is a popular interface for high-resolution and high-speed cameras. isolated digital I/O also are available with the NI Camera Link I/O Extension Board. Use the serial interface on the Camera Link connector to easily configure and control the camera with NI Vision Acquisition software and Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) configuration software. With this board, you can use the advanced triggering available to send strobe pulses and pulse trains. PCI Express With the four-lane PCI Express configuration of the NI PCIe-1430, you can acquire from two base configuration Camera Link cameras at their maximum bandwidths without onboard memory. This data is streamed directly to PC memory so it can be processed along with synchronized data acquisition and/or motion. Dual-Channel Camera Link Image Acquisition Synchronize Vision, Data Acquisition, and Motion Ordering Information Using the RTSI bus, you can develop applications for which vision, data acquisition, and motion are tightly integrated. With the NI PCIe-1430, you can route digital timing lines such as acquisition in progress or frame start across the RTSI bus to control the timing of your machine vision application. Includes Vision Acquisition software. Camera Compatibility The NI PCIe-1430 works with base configuration Camera Link cameras from Sony, Basler, and other camera manufacturers.
