Ionetrics Annotator CL Base

CameraLink Data Annotation and Acquisition

Annotator CL

Features

  • Ideal for instruments with meta-data annotation and time tagging needs
    • high speed cameras
    • spectrometers
    • radiometers
  • Accepts data from CameraLink
  • Accepts data from non-CameraLink sources
    • Generic TTL/LVTTL/LVDS inputs are converted to CameraLink
    • Up to 4 16-bit channels of generic TTL/LVTTL/LVDS input can be connected
    • Typical use is for ADC inputs (user supplied ADC, or the Preamp200)
    • ADC inputs are annotated and formated to a standard CameraLink output data stream
    • Contact for more info on an interface to your measurement system
  • Common CameraLink output format for all input types
  • Annotation data injected directly into the digital data stream:
    • IRIG referenced time stamp with flexible triggering options
    • 32-bit scan or frame counter
    • User defined ancillary, meta data, and status bits
  • CameraLink Repeater
  • CameraLink Video Splitter
  • CameraLink Signal Breakout Box
  • FPGA based real-time clock
    • Synchronized to modulated IRIG-B input if present
    • Operates in a free running mode in the absence of an IRIG input
    • Event time accuracy of ±25 microseconds

Inputs

  • CameraLink data stream
  • 4 high-speed serial (SPI) or 2 parallel (16-bit) TTL or LVTTL input ports
  • Modulated IRIG-B time code
  • Trigger

Outputs

  • Master CameraLink Annotated Data Stream
  • Slave CameraLink Annotated Data Stream
  • Sync 1 (User selectable data sync)
  • Sync 2 (User selectable data sync)

Software Support

  • Can function standalone with user supplied software
  • Works with existing frame grabber with no software rewrite
  • Software toolkit available for end user customization
