DATA TRANSLATION SHIPS DT3162 FRAME GRABBER.Data Translation, Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : DATX), has announced the shipment of the DT3162, a variable-scan monochrome frame grabber for the PCI bus. The board provides up to a 40 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. pixel acquire rate to accommodate newer, faster cameras; high-resolution data sampling for exact measurement; and advanced software capabilities for programmable timing, resolution, camera set-up and video format. Because many machine vision applications require control functions, the DT3162 also provides 4 input and 4 output digital lines so it can be used as a one-board solution. Fred Molinari, president, founder and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Data Translation said, "The all-purpose design of the DT3162 makes it ideal for demanding scientific imaging, machine vision and other high-end applications. Its high speed, programmable front-end flexibility, flexible input timing and spatial resolution (Data West Research Agency definition: see GIS glossary.) A measure of the accuracy or detail of a graphic display, expressed as dots per inch, pixels per line, lines per millimeter, etc. It is a measure of how fine an image is, usually expressed in dots per inch (dpi). are just some of the innovations that will help drive these markets into wider acceptance." The DT3162 frame grabber's versatile analog front-end design uses a 10-bit A/D converter to capture the sharpest and most noise-free image of any comparable analog frame grabber. The DT3162 frame grabber's auto-calibrate feature also sets it apart from other frame grabbers. Users can recalibrate on-site using an on-board video signal. Support for the Camera Interface Module or CIM (1) (Computer-Integrated Manufacturing) Integrating office/accounting functions with automated factory systems. Point of sale, billing, machine tool scheduling and supply ordering are part of CIM. (sold separately) lets users connect any camera, triggering device or external clock signal into the DT3162 frame grabber via a DIN-rail mountable enclosure so that they can be up and running in minutes. Designed at an optimum 40 MHz pixel clock rate, the DT3162 provides a much faster sample rate allowing for more precise image capture across a broad range of cameras. The DT3162 also features a camera/strobe timing control to insure operation with any Asynchronous Refers to events that are not synchronized, or coordinated, in time. The following are considered asynchronous operations. The interval between transmitting A and B is not the same as between B and C. The ability to initiate a transmission at either end. Reset camera, no matter which mode it operates in. This feature is vital for machine vision applications to capture images as needed without losing data. In addition, the board has 4 digital input/output lines for control purposes, which allows the DT3162 to be a one board solution for machine vision applications. Software programmable input timing and spatial resolution enable the DT3162 frame grabber to work with any video source, including standard RS-170/CCIR, slow-scan, large format and progressive-scan cameras. Designed for the PCI bus, the DT3162 frame grabber can process significant amounts of data from 120 Mbytes/sec to 133 Mbytes quickly and effectively without CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. intervention. This feature frees up the host CPU to perform much-needed compute-intensive tasks. The DT3162 variable-scan monochrome frame grabber is priced at $1,295. The board requires a Pentium III class Refers to a Pentium III CPU chip or to a PC that uses the chip.
