BitFlow offers cameras files for almost all of the current Camera Link and CoaXPress cameras that are on the market. In addition to this, you can have camera files for various options that the cameras offer, things like triggers (HW and SW), free running, different ROI to what the sensor offers etc. In the part we have offered camera files for Analog and Differential cameras. These files are still available today.
The table here shows which camera files are associated with with frame grabbers
| Frame grabbers | Type | Associated file extension |
|---|---|---|
| Claxon FXP Claxon CXP Cyton CXP Aon CXP | CoaXPress | .bfml |
| Axion CL | Camera Link | .bfml |
| Karbon CL Neon CL | Camera Link | .r64 |
| Alta AN* | Analog | .anlg |
| Karbon CXP* | CoaXPress | .kcxp |
| Neon DIF | Differential | .NDif |
| R2/R3* | Differential | .cam |
| R2/R3* | Camera Link | .rcl |
When you download the SDK the camera files will be stored on your hard drive in the following folder
C:\BitFlow SDK 6.30\Config\FRAME GRABBER TYPE FILE\FILES
The naming convention is as follows
Manufacturer-Model-Resolution-BitTap-Mode.EXTENSION
Where:
Manufacturer – Camera maker
Model – Camera model
Resolution – Size of acquired image
BitTap – Bitdepth (E = 8 bits, T = 10 bits, W = 12 bits, F = 14 bits, S = 16 bits) and Number of taps (2 – 10)
Mode – Triggered and/or encoder mode
An example would be the following
Hitachi-KP-FM400WCL-E8-TTLTrigger.r64
