Product Description
Zebra Rapixo CL Camera Link Frame Grabber
Overview
Flexible and Powerful Camera Link Frame Grabbers
Zebra Rapixo CL is the latest iteration of the established Rapixo series of frame grabbers. Offering support for Camera Link 2.1, the Rapixo CL provides a PCIe Gen2 x 4 interface that can be used for both dual-Base and single-Full configurations, making this frame grabber an ideal add-in for applications needing cost-effective yet powerful image acquisition capabilities. With ample PCIe bandwidth and included support for an event-logging utility, Rapixo CL frame grabbers are ideally suited for applications in semiconductor, electronics, and flat panel display manufacturing.
Synchronized, high-performance image acquisition
Zebra Rapixo CL frame grabbers deliver versatile performance by supporting both dual-Base and single-Full Camera Link configurations in a single board. Engineered to meet the stringent demands of industries such as semiconductor, electronics, and flat panel display manufacturing, Rapixo CL boards support Camera Link 2.1 and feature a PCIe Gen2 x 4 interface ensuring ample bandwidth to handle high-performance Camera Link cameras operating up to 80-bit mode and 85 MHz.
Additionally Rapixo CL frame grabbers include hardware synchronization between boards for precise image capture and integration in multi-camera setups. They balance PC compatibility and cost efficience, making these boards a valuable asset for users seeking reliable and flexible image acquisition solutions.
Software Environment
Field-proven application software
Zebra Rapixo CL is supported by Aurora Imaging Library, a comprehensive collection of software tools for developing industrial imaging applications. Aurora Imaging Library features interactive software and programming functions for image capture, processing, analysis, annotation, display, and archiving. These tools are designed to enhance productivity, thereby reducitng the time and effor required to bring solutions to market. Refer to the Aurora Imaging Library datasheet for more information.
Includes support for event-logging utility
Offered with the Rapixo CL is Aurora Gecho, a logging utility that records events generated by the Zebra CL device driver, before saving them to a JSON or CSV file. Made to log acquisition activity for the purpose of troubleshooting capture errors and identifying performance bottlenecks by measuring latencies and execution times, the Aurora Gecho utility works to optimize the acquisition process and ensure it runs as expected. Resulting trace files can be loaded into Google Perfetto for viewing on an intereactively navigable graphical timeline.
