Consists
of two modular cards partitioned into a common digital
interface card compatible with all sensors and an
analog sensor specific interface card.
Interface
data rate: 12 megabit per second peak, 8.6
megabit per second average. Programmability: Programmable hardware
logic is downloaded from host for in field upgradeability.
Fast 8051 compatible on board microcontroller code
is downloaded from host for in field upgradeability. Host display update rate: 6 frames per second
for 320 X 240 image and 1.5 frames per second for 640 X 480 image. Video output: Programmable video output for
RS-170 and VGA. Video rate is at 60 fps for 320 X 240 and 30
fps for 640
X 480. Size: 3.75” X 2.5” Power: 7.5 VDC regulated at 700 mA. Operating temperature: -25
to +100° C (ambient w/o sensor) –25 to +60° C
ambient with sensor).
