Annotator Pro Modules

Pluggable I/O Interface

The Annotator Pro supports various data formats through pluggable I/O modules.  Each Annotator Pro can accept 4 I/O modules.  This  modular interface allows multiple configurations to be built around a common baseboard.  Any number of possible configurations are possible using appropriate piggyback I/O modules.  These modules are interchangeable and can be configured to suit a variety of applications.  The following modules are available:

  • ADC16 16-channel A/D converter
  • CLIM Camera Link Input Module
  • CLIM3-MDR 3-channel Camera Link Input Module with MDR connectors
  • CLIM3-SDR 3-channel Camera Link Input Module with SDR connectors
  • CLOM Camera Link Output Module
  • CLOM3-MDR 3-channel Camera Link Output Module with MDR connectors
  • CLOM3-SDR 3-channel Camera Link Output Module with SDR connectors
  • PAIM PreAmp-200 Interface Module

There are four module slots per Annotator Pro, and each of these slots is connected to the baseboard via 100-pin Samtec ERx8 connectors. The full interface specification is available on request, as well as an SDK including FPGA and Linux source code.
