GRLINK Full TM - GRLINK Dulse TM - GRLINK se TM Grblink cquisition Modes The Grblink cquisition bords support vrious re-scn nd line-scn cquisition modes, which mke them esy to integrte into vrious types of pplictions. The Grblink bords re ble to precisely control the cmers. For re-scn pplictions, this includes synchronous reset s well s exposure control. The synchronous reset llows the ppliction to precisely control the instnt of the imge cpture. Of course, synchronous opertion modes re lso supported. For line-scn cmers, this includes the control of the line rte nd of the exposure. Free-running modes re lso supported. Flexible nd Relible re-scn cquisition Modes Trigger When the prt is in front of the cmer, signl, clled Trigger, is generted nd sent to the Grblink to strt the cquisition. This externl signl is generted by ny type of externl hrdwre device, such s sensor, which is connected to one of the input lines of the Grblink bords. softwre trigger signl my lso be generted by the host ppliction. - Trigger dely: in order to ccommodte different positions of the sensor, n optionl progrmmble trigger dely my postpone the strt of the cquisition for given number of microseconds. - Trigger decimtion: in order to decrese the cquisition speed, the Grblink my be instructed to skip, t regulr defined rte, some of the pulses sent by the externl trigger. Exposure control The Grblink cquisition bords re cpble of consistently controlling the sensitivity or exposure time of the cmer. Light strobe When the cquisition strts, t the pproprite timing, the Grblink bord is ble to generte signl to control n illumintion device connected to one of its output lines. High-Performnce Line-Scn cquisition Modes The Grblink cquisition bords feture severl cquisition modes dedicted to line-scn cmers: - Continuous web scnning to inspect infinite, continuously moving surfces without losing single line. - Successive object scnning to cquire the imge of objects moving in front of the cmer. The cquisition strts when ech object enters the cmer field of view, s signled by n externl trigger. Trigger Typiclly, trigger is used to strt the cquisition of lines when the prt to be inspected is in position. This externl signl is generted by ny type of externl hrdwre device, such s sensor, which is connected to one of the input lines of the Grblink bords. softwre trigger signl my lso be generted by the host ppliction. - Grblink supports strt nd end triggers. fter it is strted, the cquisition either Continues indefinitely (for web inspection pplictions) Continues for progrmmble number of lines (to cquire the imge of objects with known length) Continues until n end trigger is received (to cquire the imge of objects with vrible length) - Trigger dely: In order to ccommodte different positions of the sensor, n optionl progrmmble trigger dely is ble to dely the strt of the cquisition of given number of lines. Motion encoders When the speed of the web or prt to be inspected is not constnt, it is importnt to properly synchronize the cmer line rte with the motion of the object, or this cn led to distortion or non-uniform pixel spect rtio in the imge. This cn be done using n incrementl motion encoder. In this mode, the Grblink frme grbber controls the cmer scnning rte bsed on the dt received from the motion encoder. - When the prt moves fster, the cquisition line rte of the cmer increses. - When the prt moves slower, the cquisition line rte of the cmer decreses.
GRLINK Full TM - GRLINK Dulse TM - GRLINK se TM New Qudrture Motion Encoder Support Qudrture motion encoders use two signls (or phses), clled nd (cf. illustrtion bove), tht the Grblink bord cn interpret to know in which direction (forwrd or bckwrd) the prt is moving. - With the optionl direction selector, the user cn define which direction is considered s the forwrd direction for the ppliction, to or to. Optionlly, the Grblink cn be instructed to cquire lines only when the object is moving forwrd, or only when the object is moving bckwrd. - With the bckwrd motion cncelltion, the Grblink is cpble of stopping the cquisition when bckwrd motion is detected. The line cquisition utomticlly resumes when the motion is gin in the forwrd direction t the exct plce where the cquisition ws interrupted. RISING_ FLLING LL LL LEDS LEDS Edge selector Direction Selector ckwrd Cncelltion Rw Clock Input Clock Output Direction Disbled Enbled ckwrd Cncelltion Control Q unique rte converter The Grblink bords incorporte unique device clled the rte converter, which works long with the motion encoder. The rte converter llows the cmer to cquire lines t ny progrmmble resolution lower or higher thn the resolution of the motion encoder. This gives the designer incredible freedom nd flexibility during the development of the ppliction. Qudrture Motion Encoder Q Rte Divider Rte Converter Pulse Pulse Line Rte Mode selection Line Trigger Rte divider The rte divider llows the cmer to cquire lines t resolution lower thn the resolution of the motion encoder. The rte divider divides the incoming encoder signl by progrmmble integer. Exposure control The Grblink cquisition bords re cpble of consistently controlling the sensitivity or exposure time of the cmer. Periodic genertor When the speed of the web or the object to inspect is constnt, the Grblink cn drive the line scn cmer t constnt line rte generted from its progrmmble internl periodic genertor. 5

MultiCm Driver for Windows nd Linux (3- nd 6-bit) The MultiCm driver enbles the consistent control of severl Euresys frme grbbers, using n rbitrry number of cmers, from one or severl softwre pplictions. MultiCm llows defining chnnels linking cmers to buffers in the PC memory. The MultiCm chnnel identifies ll prmeters ruling the cquisition process from cmer. Every cmer feture, such s its type, resolution or imge formt, is described nd controlled through simple prmeters, considerbly esing the cmer control tsk. For ech chnnel-controlled cmer, set of dedicted prmeters is creted from CmFile.
