ADEuresys: New areaDetector driver for CoaXPress cameras using Euresys frame grabbers

[Mark Rivers via Tech-talk <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Folks,

 

R1-0 of ADEuresys is now available.  ADEuresys is a driver for CoaXPress cameras using PCIe frame grabbers from Euresys.

 

CoaXPress is a high-speed camera interface using multiple coaxial cables.  Each cable can run up to 12.5 Gbits/s, and with 4 parallel cables the total speed is up to 50 Gbits/s.

 

CoaXPress is based on GenICam, so camera features are controlled the same way as with GigEVision and USBVision cameras.  The ADEuresys driver is derived from ADGenICam.

 

The driver has been tested on Windows 10 and Linux (CentOS 9 Stream) with the following cameras:

 

Model	Mikrotron EoSens 2.0MCX12	Adimec Q-12A	ViewWorks VNP604
Pixel dimensions	1920 x 1080	4096 x 3072	14192 x 10640
MegaPixels	2.1	12.6	151.0
CXP version	CXP-12 X4	CXP-6 X4	CXP-6 X4
Frames/s, Mono8	2247	187	6.5
GBytes/s. Mono8	4.66	2.35	1.0
Frames/s, Mono10	1798	152	6.2
GBytes/s. Mono10	7.46	3.83	2.0
Frames/s, Mono12	N.A	N.A	6.2
GBytes/s. Mono12	N.A	N.A	2.0

 

Note that the Mikrotron camera runs at 2,247 frames per second in Mono8 mode.
