The operation of the board is controlled by program API, figure [1-1] shows connection of the system. [Figure 1-1. PCIe-FRM11 board Usage] As shown in Figure [1-1], the cPCI-FRM11 is inserted into any available PCI slots in the Compact PCI system. It receives image frame from camera via Camera-Link Standard Interface. And, received data transmit to the API through PCI interface.
As shown in the following figure, main control of the board is performed in FPGA Core Logic. Primary functions are receiving the image frame data, transmitting/receiving UART data and controlling CC(Camera Control signal). You can control these functions using API provided by DAQ system. PCI BUS Local BUS...

[Figure 4-6. Camera Control LVDS Digital Output Circuit] This picture below shows that a general input circuit is used at cPCI-FRM11 board. It is a serial input signal through Camera-link Cable. When serial input signal is used by general input, it is mapped by Digital input 8 and it can read a value of it.
