Safety Warnings (Mandatory)
- Do NOT install/uninstall the card with power on: Turn off the host and disconnect the power cord first; wear an anti-static wristband to avoid electrostatic damage to chips.
- Proper I/O interface usage: Connect 100Ω terminating resistor for LVDS input of External I/O; ensure external trigger signals match the card's voltage level to prevent overvoltage damage.
- Coordinate parameter configuration: Match transmission mode with channel topology; ensure consistent resolution for local images; manually set resolution accurately for bin/raw formats.
- Software installation requirements: Install drivers and dedicated library files before running the host software; check hardware connection and driver version if the device is not recognized.
- Adequate heat dissipation: Ensure good chassis ventilation during operation to avoid device throttling or crash due to high temperature; reset or reinstall the card if abnormal during long-term use.
- Memory requirement for large-resolution transmission: Ensure sufficient host memory for custom high-resolution gradient images; use Continuous Transmission/Loop mode for large data volume simulation.
Quick Start Guide
- Hardware Installation: Ensure the host supports PCIe Gen2 x4 slots; power off the host, insert the card into the idle PCIe slot, fasten the bracket screw; connect external I/O devices (trigger source/grabber) to D-SUB26/SDR interface, then power on the host and install drivers.
- Software Installation: Install dedicated library files and host software (supports Windows 10/11); for secondary development, install Qt5/6 environment and import the SDK package.
- Parameter Configuration:
- File Settings: Select data source (local image/bin file), browse to set file path; local images support "one-click auto-apply" resolution, while bin files require manual resolution and padding settings.
- Parameter Settings: Choose data source (local image/hardware test pattern), configure device topology, pixel format, padding mode; select trigger/transmission mode; set timing parameters, resolution, frame rate and running time (0 for infinite run).
- Start & Run: Click "Start Transmission" after configuration; use "Software Trigger" for single-frame data in software trigger mode; stop transmission with "Stop" button or restore default parameters with "Reset".
- Save/Load Configuration: Click "Save Configuration" to generate a configuration file for quick parameter restoration later without reconfiguration.
- Secondary Development: Call API functions (e.g., PCIe4005Start/Stop) to control the device; configure core parameters via API for automated simulation; customize GUI and expand functions based on Qt5/6.
