Page 31: Memory Requirements With Area Scan Acquisitions
Memory Requirements with Area Scan Acquisitions The X64 Xcelera-HS PX8 allocates by default two frame buffers in onboard memory, each equal in size to the acquisition frame buffer. This double buffering memory allocation is automatic at the driver level. The X64 Xcelera-HS PX8 driver uses two buffers to ensure that the acquired video frame is complete and not corrupted in cases where the image transfer to host system memory may be interrupted and delayed by other host system processes. -
