Page no. 6 | Document Scope
4Document Scope
This document is meant to serve as a hardware reference and installation guide for KAYA’s second generation
frame grabbers: the Predator II CoaXPress, Komodo II CoaXPress, Komodo II CLHS and Chameleon II.
The guide consists of 8 chapters split into two main parts: the first (chapters 5 through 11) refers to the hardware
of the cards and includes an overview and interface layouts, PCIe working modes, LED sates, GPIO connectors and
pinout, mechanical drawings, environmental conditions and electrical specifications. The second part refers to the
installation and set-up process for each of the cards.
