Original Press Release:
LW-PE-2048-1394 CCD based Line Scan Camera added to the LightWise Family by the Imaging Solutions Group and Alrad Instruments
Rochester, NY, USA & Newbury, Berkshire, UK -The Imaging Solutions Group (ISG) announces the availability of a new 1394 Line Scan Camera. The ISG LightWise LW-PE-2048-1394 has 2048x1 pixels running at 18K lines per second. ISG makes the lowest cost line scan cameras in the world. This camera is targeted towards machine vision, automated assembly, metrology and Industrial Bar Code. The camera has external opto-isolated programmable input/output's for trigger/strobe functions.
Offset and Gain Correction:
The Offset and Gain correction task will be performed by the FPGA on the Controller board. The FPGA algorithms in conjunction with an on-board dual 8-bit DAC perform automatic offset correction and semiautomatic gain corrections. These functions can be selected and activated by the provided ISG Graphical User Interface (GUI) software.
Customizable via FPGA's On-Board:
The On-Board FPGA allows for easy integration of custom algorithms and signal processing. Up to 400K gate equivalents and memory is available for custom hardware. This provides the user the opportunity to offload high speed imaging functions from the host computer.
Applications include:
High Speed High Resolution Scanning Contact Imaging
Automated Inspection Systems Bar Code reading
Machine Vision Systems Encoding and Positioning
