Euresys Coaxlink QSFP+ Four-connection CoaXPress-over-Fiber frame grabber

This solution is suitable for machine vision applications.

What is the maximum cable length with single-mode fibers?

With a standard 40GBASE-ER4 QSFP+ LC DOM Optical Transceiver Module and an LC-Duplex single-mode fiber cable, the maximum cable length is 40 kilometers. 

This solution is suitable, for example, for video transmission applications.

Memento Event Logging Tool

• Memento is an advanced development and debugging tool available for Coaxlink and Grablink cards.

• Memento records an accurate log of all the events related to the camera, the frame grabber and its driver as well as the application.

• It provides the developer with a precise timeline of time-stamped events, along with context information and logic analyzer view.

• It provides valuable assistance during application development and debugging, as well as during machine operation.

CustomLogic: Your own FPGA logic!

• CustomLogic is an FPGA design kit enabling the design and upload of FPGA code to a Coaxlink board

• It is compatible with the Coaxlink Octo, Coaxlink Quad CXP-12 and Coaxlink QSFP+ for which up to 70% of their AMD Kintex Ultrascale XCKU035 FPGA resources are available.

• The design phase uses the Xilinx Vivado development tools (not provided)

• Using CustomLogic does not require any additional hardware

Direct GPU transfer

• Sample programs for AMD DirectGMA and NVIDIA (CUDA) available.

• Direct GPU transfer eliminates unnecessary system memory copies, lowers CPU overhead, and reduces latency, 

resulting in significant performance improvements in data transfer times for applications.

• Direct capture of image data to GPU memory is available using AMD's DirectGMA. Compatible with AMD FirePro W5x00 and above and all AMD FirePro S series products.

General purpose I/O lines compatible with a wide range of sensors and motion encoders

High-performance DMA (Direct Memory Access)

• Direct transfer into user-allocated memory

• Hardware scatter-gather support

Area-scan triggering capabilities

• A trigger is used to start the acquisition when the part is in position. Hardware triggers come from the Coaxlink's I/O lines.

Software triggers come from the application.

• An optional trigger delay is available to postpone the acquisition for a programmable time.

• A trigger decimation function allows to skip some of the triggers.

• Camera exposure control allows the application to control the exposure time of the camera.

• When the acquisition starts, at the appropriate timing, the Coaxlink board generates a signal to control an illumination device connected to one of its output lines.
