PCIe-1004 Frame Grabber Test with the SVS-VISTEK GmbH-EoSens2.0MCX12 Camera
The SVS-VISTEK GmbH-EoSens2.0MCX12 is a CoaXPress industrial camera compliant with the GenICam standard, with a maximum image width of 1920 pixels, a maximum height of 1080 pixels, Mono8 / Mono10 grayscale output support, and a 4-channel CoaXPress connection. When this camera is used, real-time image acquisition together with high-speed, low-latency image processing is often required. The PCIe-1004 CXP frame grabber from Xingce Electronics has already been widely deployed at measurement-and-control customer sites and, paired with SVS-VISTEK’s GenICam-compliant cameras, provides customers with plug-and-play, full-feature compatibility.
The PCIe-1004 is a four-channel CoaXPress V2.0 image acquisition card whose single-channel bandwidth reaches 12.5 Gbps (CXP-12), with an aggregate four-channel bandwidth of 50 Gbps. The onboard Xilinx Kintex UltraScale FPGA and 4 GB of DDR4 memory safeguard real-time processing of large data volumes; the built-in PoCXP feature powers the camera directly over the coaxial cable, and Aravis SDK / GenTL SDK are also provided, fully compatible with the camera’s GenICam standard interface. The PCIe-1004 frame grabber is therefore an ideal platform for comprehensively testing this camera’s functions.

4. Camera Function Tests
4.1 Camera ROI Function
Image acquisition at the camera’s default width and height.
The camera width and height are set to half of their default values, i.e. Width = 960, Height = 540, and configured and acquired successfully as shown below.
Setting any valid width and height, the image is acquired normally.
4.2 Camera Pixel Format Configuration
The camera’s default pixel format is Mono8, now changed to Mono10 for testing.
4.3 Camera Frame Rate Configuration
The camera frame rate is configured via Acquisition Frame Rate; setting Acquisition Frame Rate to 2247 (the maximum frame rate), acquisition works normally.
Setting Acquisition Frame Rate to 360, acquisition works normally.
4.4 Camera Built-in Test Image Configuration
Setting Test Image Selector to Grey Horizontal Ramp Moving switches the image data source to the built-in test image, and acquisition works normally.
4.5 Camera Exposure Time Configuration
The camera’s default exposure time is 500; setting the exposure time to the maximum value of 2776 at 360 fps, acquisition works normally.
