Add-on products: Usefull function enhancements from CLIO to OPTO trigger |
Many system can be installed with the standard features of microEnable product line. But some applications requires additional hardware to use external signals, to control additional peripheries or distributing image data.
For these requirements SILICONSOFTWARE develops usefull hardware addons, which enhance the functionality of the frame grabber product line.
Overview of the addons
| product line/category | remarks | ||
 |
microEnable III / -XXL | ||
 |
CLIO | CameraLink Input Output Unit for replication of the camera signal and distribution on up to 256 microEnable III | |
 |
OPTO trigger | Opto couppled trigger with 8 inputs and 4 outputs | |
|
TTL trigger | Trigger for TTL signals with 8 inputs and 4 outputs | |
 |
CLIO:
CameraLink outputs (front), CameraLink inputs (back), power supply (below CameraLink inputs). |
CLIO board was developped for usage in "distributed processing". The CameraLink signals of the camera, which are input into the master microEnable III over up to two ports, are connected to CLIO boards with two cables. Using the output ports of the CLIO board, the CameraLink signals can be distributed to another microEnable III in the same or an external PC. Hereby a daisy chain can be setup of up to 256 CLIO boards.
CLIO can operate in different scenarios:
| Application: Qualitative image processing | |
 |
Use of the image processor on microEnable III for individual image pre-processing in realtime |
|
Use of the host-CPU to process different image processings |
| Application: Quantitative image processing | |
|
Processing of separate areas of the camera sensor (setting of the hardware applets) |
|
Sequential processing of single images (modulo-definition in hardware applets) |
| Technical features | ||||
| General features | Hardware features | |||
|
Duplication on the input CameraLink signal | |
Support of Dual Base and Medium cameras | |
|
Refresh of the CameraLink signal | |
Support of up to 85 MHz | |
|
Distribution of the CameraLink signal on up to 256 microEnable III frame grabbers in a daisy chain | |
Direct support of hardware applets: Operational use of partial or sequential image processing | |
|
Use of the image pre-processing capacity on microEnable III frame grabbers | |
Software support with version 3.0+ | |
|
Use of host PC CPU for additional image processing | |
Delivery: CLIO board, two flat cables, power supply (over microEnable III) | |

OPTO trigger board:
Trigger in-/outputs (front), master/slave switch, master connector to microEnable III and slave connector (back). |
The OPTO trigger board offers a comfortable opportunity to use opto couppled trigger signals to control cameras and external peripheries. Several microEnable III frame grabber boards can simply be synchronized with the master board. Status display over LEDs quickly shows the relevant operation information. The fast electronics of the trigger board and the hardware based processing of the signals on the microEnable III frame grabber additionally guarantees small latencies.
| Technical features | ||||
| General features | Hardware features | |||
|
Opto couppled electronics | |
8 in- and 4 outputs (applet dependent) | |
|
Connection of one master board and several slave boards (cable not included) | |
Master-/Slave mode selectable by DIP switch | |
|
Control display by LEDs | |
Use of standard SUB-9 and SUB-15 plugs | |
|
Use of signals from 5 to 24 Volt (specifized / short-termed from 3,3 to 30 Volt) | |
Delivery: OPTO trigger board, flat cable (connection to master microEnable III) | |
