200 state not know Sensor Size: 1/3" Sensor: Sony ICX204 Interface: USB 2.0 Color Space: Mono Resolution: 1024 x 768 (0.8 MP) Shutter Type: Global Pixelink’s high quality and stable USB 2.0 cameras offer reliable imaging for awide variety of industrial and non-industrial applications. The various cameramodels are available in configurations designed to meet the needs of the mostdiscerning customer who is looking for a USB 2.0 camera application solution.Universality of this interface on host PCs is a major benefit for applicationsin the consumer end-user markets. Plug-and-play operation and low cost cablingmakes USB 2.0 the leading user-friendly interface. SOFTWARE PixeLINK Capture OEM is a user-friendly camera control application offeringusers full control of the camera’s features and settings. Capture OEM isintegrated into Pixelink Capture, so you will first need to install PixelinkCapture first before Capture OEM will appear on your desktop. Pixelink Capture is powerful multi-camera software application designed toconfigure "n" number of cameras and stream "n" number ofcameras simultaneously in real-time high-quality video viewed in a multi-windowenvironment. Pixelink Capture offers options for complex image enhancementssuch as: exposure control, filtering, frame-by-frame property changes, inaddition to multi-camera application testing and configuration. Pixelink Capture also provides features to measure supporting: point, line,circle, rectangle, polyline, and polygon measurements while determining pixellocation. After creating spatial calibration, the user can then review andadjust before exporting the findings to an Excel spreadsheet for furtheranalysis. Pixelink Capture also has integrated lens control (zoom & focus)for Navitar motorized lenses and accurate auto focus options for Navitarmotorized fine focus mechanisms.

· PL-B953U description
· The PL-B953U is a high performance XGA (1024 x 768) monochrome CCD cameradesigned for a broad range of industrial imaging applications. This camera isbased on the Sony ICX204 progressive scan sensor with a 1” optical format. TheUSB 2.0 interface provides data and camera power over a single low cost cablefor plug-and-play operation with the host computer. External triggering and 2general-purpose outputs provide users the flexibility to synchronize the camerawith their processes and illumination. This camera is well suited to machinevision applications which require excellent image quality such as automatedinspection, PCB and semiconductor inspection, container inspection, food,beverage and lumber inspection, and manufacturing quality control. PixeLINK’s PL-B953U is a rugged industrial vision camera with excellent imagequality. The camera features a XGA CCD sensor (1024 X 768) at 20 fps. Factorycalibrated Digital Pixel Correction and on-board Flat Field Correction (FFC)provides excellent image quality. Careful attention to the color balancingensures accurate and vivid color reproduction. This camera incorporates theSony ICX204 progressive scan CCD sensor which has a 1/3", optical formatand a 4.65 um pixel pitch. The ILT CCD features high-speed electronicshuttering, low image lag and low smear making the cameras ideally suited tocapturing crisp images of fast moving objects. High sensitivity, low dark currentand excellent antiblooming further enhance image quality. The camera has a user-selectable 8, 10, or 12-bit output. Access to externaltriggering and the 2 general-purpose outputs is supplied via the 9-pin micro Dconnector. Expensive frame grabbers and a external power supply are notrequired. With the Software Developer’s Kit (SDK), PixeLINK supplies an extensiveApplication Programming Interface (API) and camera control Graphical UserInterface (GUI) for fast and easy application development. This functionalityincludes several triggering and GPIO modes for quick and easy integration withstrobed illumination and motion controllers. Included is an on-boarduser-programmable lookup table (LUT) applied in real time, on-boardnon-volatile memory for camera configuration. Some of the other usercontrollable camera settings are: gain, offset, frame rate, auto exposure,gamma, color balance and saturation. All of these features, plus many more, areavailable in PixeLINK’s free demonstration GUI, PixeLINK Capture OEM locatedunder the camera’s Downloads tab. The SDK also includes wrappers for NationalInstruments LabVIEW versions 7.1, 8.0 and 8.2.
