The EureCard GRABLINK Value is an affordable Camera Link frame grabber for cost-effective industrial applications . Grablink Value is recommended for single-camera systems .

GRABLINK Value is an affordable PCI and cPCI Camera Link frame grabber for cost-effective industrial applications. Following the Base configuration of the standard, Grablink Value acquires images from one Camera Link compliant line-scan or area-scan camera, single-tap (8 or 16 bits), dual-tap (8 or 12 bits) or RGB (3 x 8 bits).

• support of area scan and line scan cameras
• acquisition up to 24 Bit@66 MHz 
• Single-Tap (8 or 16 Bit), Dual-Tap (8 to 12 Bit) or  RGB- (3 x 8 Bit) camera support
• 8 MByte frame buffer
• 9 pin Sub-D connector for Triggerinput, Strobeioutput, +5VDC and +12VDC output

  The EureCard Grablink Value is fitted with a female DB9 connector. It implements the trigger and strobe facilities offered by the MultiCam driver. System components such as motion encoder benefits from isolated I/O lines and power supply.

• Form factors: desktop PCI and Compact PCI, 64 bits 66 Mhz bus
  

  The EureCard Grablink Value is available in two form factors. Grablink Value PCI has a 32-bit, 33 MHz PCI conventional bus. Grablink Value cPCI benefits from a 64-bit 66 MHz cPCI bus. This cPCI board serves the purpose of the industrial applications. This particular form factor brings a high resistance to shocks and vibrations thanks to the rugged packaging and the high-density pin-and-socket connection to the PC. Besides, cPCI PCs offer many more slots - in the 33 MHz configuration up to height slots are available.

• Serial control of cameras
  The EureCard Grablink Value supports the Camera Link pseudo RS-232 serial line . The application software can use the Camera Link API functions to control the camera. Alternatively, the serial line can be configured as an additional PC COM port ensuring interoperability with existing camera control software
• Bus mastering
Bus mastering:
All Euresys frame grabbers are PCI bus mastering agents that directly store the acquired images into the PC physical memory without CPU involvement. As a unique feature, the EureCard automatically recovers the scatter-gather virtual memory mapping to present the data as a regular bitmap image in a user allocated memory buffer.
• Supported by
• MultiCam Driver for Windows and Linux
  

  MultiCam Driver:
  The Multicam driver enables the consistent control of several Euresys frame grabbers, using an arbitrary number of cameras, from one or several software applications. Multicam allows defining channels linking cameras to buffers in the PC memory. The Multicam channel identifies all parameters ruling the acquisition process from a camera. Every camera feature, such as its type, resolution or image format, is described and controlled through simple parameters, considerably easing the camera control task. For each channel-controlled camera, a set of dedicated parameters is created from a CAM file. Euresys delivers pre-defined files for many popular cameras; still the user can customize its CAM file. MultiCam complies with most development enviroments like MS Visual C++, Borland C++ Builder, Delphi and Active X.
  Linux is also supported.

• EasyMultiCam C++

  EasyMultiCam:
  Offered as a part of the eVision tools suite, EasyMulticam is a set of powerful C++ classes embedding the whole MultiCam functionality. The object oriented eVision functions define image containers suitable for image processing and analysis. The image objects inherit acquisition methods from EasyMultiCam. Implementing the image capture code into a machine vision application is now straightforward.
