Daily Product Highlights 2008 p1 of 15:

• Additions to camera family
  Two models have been added to the Grasshopper IEEE-1394b (FireWire) 800-Mbit/s digital cameras. The new models are based on the addition of monochrome and color Kodak KAI-0340 640 ? 480 1/3-in. CCDs to the line of Sony progressive-scan CCD image sensors available in the Grasshopper. Offering 200-frame/s, full-resolution VGA readout, low noise, high quantum efficiency, and sensitive 7.4-µm square pixels, the new models are for imaging applications in machine vision.
• Small cameras are for OEM applications
  Credit-card sized GB-Series of single-board OEM cameras with Gigabit Ethernet interface are designed for OEM applications where there is a need to fit machine-vision cameras within tight spaces. They are available in color or monochrome models, with landscape or portrait orientation and with in-line or vertical connection orientation to offer low-cost options and ease of integration.
• GigE camera range expanded
  GigE cameras are available with various sensors, in color, monochrome, or cooled versions, with megapixel resolution, frame rates up to 30/90 frames/s, and short trigger delay. They allow cable lengths up to 100 m/330 ft (CAT 5E). The software pool offers three different tools: camera control software KCC, software development kit (sdk3) for integration into third-party software applications, and application software KIB for measurement tasks.
• Sensor series has high sensitivity and low noise
  Dragster digital linescan sensors, based on a 12-bit digital sensor architecture, operate up to 40 kL/s. The sensors provide 7e- dark read noise and 50% QE (DR-4k-7)--very good sensitivity and noise performance. All sensors are fully digital and work with 3.3-V single supply. They are supplied on an easy-to-integrate COB module comprising all decoupling elements.
• Software compares color data
  Version 1.1 of Spectral Suite software is offered bundled with the company's SP-100 multifunctional spectroradiometer system. The user can view data from multiple measurements graphically, comparing data within the spectrum and chromaticity charts. Spectral Suite reports radiometric values for radiance and irradiance measurements along with photometric values for luminance and illuminance measurements.
• Software supports IEC61131-3
  Company's motion-control software now supports the IEC61131-3 programming language. Designated ADK 6.0, the PLC Open compliant control software allows users to program using any of the five languages in addition to ACSPL+. The advanced ADK 6.0 software provides fully variable mapping that enables flexible bidirectional interfacing, mutual synchronization, and functionality exchange between ACSPL+ and IEC 61131-3 programs.
• Off-the-shelf positioning stages are precise
  Slipstream Series 1 linear stages are low cost, ready-to-run, compact linear stages that feature 0.2-mm/300-mm accuracy and 0.1-mm repeatability. Available in travel lengths to 6 m, these easy-to-install stages have "T-Slots" on three sides for installation and/or accessories. Motor options include a NEMA 23 stepper, and a 100- or 200-W servomotor with encoder. Motors can be mounted on the left or right side, and a fail-safe brake is available as an option.
• Board supports multicore Intel processors
  TQ9 graphics-class system host board, coupled with a PICMG 1.3 industry-standard backplane, can support multiple system designs that use the latest PCI Express, PCI-X, and PCI option cards. The TQ9 X16 PCI Express link provides 3.5 times more bandwidth than an AGP8X interface and can be used to support PCI Express graphics and video cards, including the latest ADD2 cards.
• Small imagers meet demanding applications
  Two lightweight imagers, the MS-1 Engine and the MS-2 CCD reader, allow engineers to incorporate scanning solutions into their system designs with minimal impact on equipment budget and operation. Weighing less than 0.3 oz, the MS-1 Engine has a footprint of 1.26 ? .095 in. and is 0.44 in. tall. The MS-2 CCD reader is slightly larger and is fully packaged for easy integration. Both include the company's Easy Setup Program.
• Digital camera captures live images
  ProgRes C7, equipped with SXGA live image, mechanical shutter, and 7-Mpixel CCD sensor, records small specimen structures. With integrated shutter, the ProgRes C7 can take only a single shot of objects in motion and accommodates flash illumination techniques. The ProgRes C7 is suitable for any illumination technique in light microscopy and performs with high light sensitivity and reproduction of colors.
