1.1 Introduction
The PCIe-1172/1174 series is a PCI Express® dual/quad channel frame grabber for
two/four independent GigE Vision cameras, features with GoE (GigE Vision Offload
Engine), PoE (Power over Ethernet) and ToE (Trigger over Ethernet) for high perfor-
mance, robust and reliable machine vision applications.
Unlike a conventional NIC (network interface controller) with GigE Vision protocol
implemented in software and executed on the host CPU, the processor must spend
more resources to handle the network traffic and incoming frames rather than the
machine vision algorithms, especially in high bandwidth, multiple camera applica-
tions.
The GoE feature significantly off-loads the GigE Vision protocols into dedicated
FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array), reconstruct the image then transmit to the
Host PC via DMA (Direct Memory Access) in real time, release the host processor
resource to execute algorithm and applications and there is no frame or packet loss
during the image acquisition.
The comprehensive ToE/PoE features can lower the installation/maintenance effort
through the single cable connection, and reduce image acquisition latency, with the
Ad hoc network feature, the connection between GigE Vision cameras and frame
grabber are self-configuring, the user define IP address is no longer necessary any-
more, and significantly reduces the installation and maintenance cost and effort.
The CAMNavi SDK runs under Windows 7/8/10 and supports the most common pro-
gramming languages C++ and the .NET framework. The powerful SDK provides
functions to control the frame grabber, including image acquisition, I/O, triggering and
frame buffer management. The viewer utilities provide the graphical user interface to
configure, evaluate and preview of the image date, meanwhile the PCIE-1172/1174
series are compatible with GENiCAM and GENTL software interface, users can eas-
ily connect to the machine vision software.

2.1 Initial Inspection
You should find the following items inside the shipping package:
PCIe-1172 or PCIe-1174 unit
2P / B4P Cable (PCIe-1174 only)
DB-15 Bracket (PCIe-1174 only)
We carefully inspected the card mechanically and electrically before we shipped it. It
should be free of marks and scratches and in perfect working order on receipt. As
you unpack the card, check it for signs of shipping damage (damaged box,
scratches, dents, etc.). If it is damaged or it fails to meet specifications, notify our ser-
vice department or your local sales representative immediately. Also notify the car-
rier. Retain the shipping carton and packing material for inspection by the carrier.
After inspection we will make arrangements to repair or replace the unit. When you
handle the PCI Express GbE PoE card series, remove it from its protective packaging
by grasping the rear metal panel. Keep the anti-vibration packing. Whenever you
remove the card from the PC, store it in this package for protection.
