To use the Camera Link interface simply enable the Camera Link output.As the Camera Link output is completely independent of the camera control interface, all the features of the camera are fully available.
#Andor solis does not detect camera software
Camera is configurable via the USB 2.0 (897 model) or USB 3.0 (888 model) interface as normal through acquisition software (e.g.

(a) Full resolution (b) 128 x 128 ROI Operation
The user could set the camera to always transmit the same ROI and then use their Camera Link frame grabber card to extract a different ROI but they will not see any speed increase normally associated with smaller ROIs.įigure 2 - Images captured using Solis (left) via USB and simultaneously in CiView (right) via Camera Link interfaces. The data stream only contains pixel data for those pixels within the camera user defined region of interest (ROI) and hence the length of LVAL and FVAL (Camera Link ‘LINE’ and ‘FRAME’, respectively) will be dependent on the ROI defined. The Camera Link channel intercepts the image data stream in the camera head immediately after the on-head FPGA processing step, but before the USB frame buffer, therefore undergoes the same amount of on-head image processing. The exact pixel data type is Little Endian 16-bit unsigned integer. All data over the Camera Link interface is 16-bit greyscale. The Camera Link output is a base configuration (1-tap interface) running at 40 MHz. The image data stream is still transmitted over the USB interface which allows other more basic analysis to be run on the PC to monitor other characteristics such as the signal level or visual feedback. When the Camera Link output is in use all camera control is still transmitted via the USB interface.

the serial communication interface used for camera control has NOT been implemented. Note that the Camera Link on the iXon Ultra is an output only – i.e. The Camera Link output conforms to the specification as defined by the Automated Imaging Association (AIA). Ch1: Camera FIRE (Yellow) Ch2: CL FVAL (Blue) Ch3: CL LVAL(Pink) In order to facilitate such functionality, the iXon Ultra also includes a Camera Link output.įigure 1: Latency – Vertical shift rate = 0.5μs, Time from falling edge of FIRE to rising edge of Camera Link FRAME = 494.4μs (268μs of this time is the time required to shift the image into the mask area of the sensor). Direct real time access to data can also be useful for data intensive applications such as super-resolution microscopy or whole genome sequencing, whereby it can be desirable to carry out real time processing of data on an external GPU for example. Such operation can be particularly important for rapid closed feedback applications such as adaptive optics.
However, some users require a more direct access to the image data stream, in order that they can perform real-time analysis, possibility using external hardware. Under standard operation the iXon Ultra uses the USB interface for all control and data transfer with the PC. An Overview of the Camera Link Output Function for the iXon Ultra
