Introduction 1
1 Introduction
The PCIe-FIW series are IEEE 1394b (FireWire 800) interface
cards based on the PCI Express form factor and designed for high
speed computer-based machine vision applications. This series
consists of two main product families:
PCIe-FIW62: two 1394b (FireWire 800) ports
PCIe-FIW64: four 1394b (FireWire 800) ports
The PCIe-FIW series supports multiple 1394b device connections
with data transfer rates up to 800 Mb/s, like most of the IEEE
1394b cameras. The IEEE 1394b standard also supports a power
over cable feature to reduce wiring.
The 4-pin ATX power connector on the PCIe-FIW series allows the
1394 cameras that are connected to draw power. The LEDs on the
front panel of the PCIe-FIW series will illuminate when a PCIe-FIW
card is connected to a 1394b camera, thus making it is easy to
identify the channel connection status.
The PCIe-FIW64 provides four isolated digital inputs and outputs
for connecting to external devices such as position sensors. The
PCIe-FIW64 also includes four isolated programmable trigger out-
put pulses to manage trigger events such as activating a strobe
light.
