User‟s Manual 2-3 Camera Link Cable & Connector Camera Link The connection between the camera and the cPCI-FRM11 board uses a 26 Pin MDR (Mini D Ribbon) cable. The camera link cable consists of a twin-axial shielded cable and two MDR 26-male plugs.
(Frame Valid, Line Valid, Data Valid, and a spare) through the Channel Link chip in cPCI-FRM11. In addition, a clock signal is made with one LVDS to synchronize the signal between the camera and cPCI-FRM11, and the remaining cameras control signals and communication signals are converted into general TTL signal levels and used.

User‟s Manual 3. Click the Next button. It indicates that the installation process is proceeding as shown below. The driver folder contains “pci_frm11.inf” and “pci_frm11.sys” files required for driver installation. Click Next to install the driver files. 4. When the installation is completed normally, it is shown in the figure below.

7. If it appears as shown in the figure below, the installation has been completed normally. The above figure shows the screen where the cPCI-FRM11 board is normally installed in the PC. (Note) cPCI-FRM11 board is registered as a PCIe-FRM11 device to maintain compatibility with the existing PCIe-FRM11 board.
User‟s Manual 5. Sample Program In the CDROM folder provided with the board, a sample program is provided for easy use of the board. First of all, “FrmTest.exe”, one of the executable files, displays Frame Data as a hexadecimal value and stores it in memory or hard disk so that developers can utilize the necessary frame data.
User‟s Manual folder or the folder specified by the Path environment variable. 5-1-1 Image Frame Function (1) „DXD810/DXD1417’ Combo-box Use this box to set up the operation mode. (2) „LVDS Init’ button Press this button to initialize the function of receiving image frame data. It is performed only once after power is applied to the board.
User‟s Manual (5) „Stop Timer’ button Press this button to stop the timer. (6) „UART Init’ button Press this button to initialize UART. It must be performed only once after power is applied to the board. (7) „UART Close’ button Press this button to finish usage of the board and terminate the program.
“FrmTest.exe”. [Figure 6-1. Equipment Connection for Testing] In the figure above, the cPCI-FRM11 board is installed in the PC, but the figure is drawn outside for better understanding. The image frame simulator uses a self-made one by the DAQ system, and if you have an actual device, you can use it.
User‟s Manual (1) After initializing by pressing the “LVDS init” button, click the “Start” button to save the image frame. Press the “Frame Read” button to load the image data of the program. The read data is displayed in the editor box, so check whether it matches the actual data sent. In some cases, a separate verification program must be used, so press the “Save to”...
