Hi,
I am still new to Vision and camera file generation, so I hope I am understanding things right.
I am using a CIS sensor (like a line scan camera) from Tichawa Vision, which is connected via Cameralink using a PCIe-1427 frame grabber.
The framegrabber has a cameralink base port and as far as I know, 24bit or 3 8bit taps can be transferred per clock using this port. The image captured by the CIS should be transmitted via three taps and a depth of 8 bit.
In the Camerafile generator a selection of three taps is provided, but greyed out.
However, the following documentation does not provide a configuration of 3 taps in general: https://www.ni.com/de-de/support/documentation/supplemental/18/framegrabber-specifications-for-the-ni-camera-file-generator.html
I also tried the configuration with a PCIe-1429 frame grabber. With this 1,2,4,8 and 10 taps are selectable, but 3 taps can not be selected either.
So my question is: Is it possible to capture an image divided into 3 taps with 8bit depth with a PCIe-1427 framegrabber? Or are the 3 Taps used for RGB images and if so, can I somehow use them as 3 taps anyways?
I hope someone can give me advice.
Thanks,
Kerstin
