ULTRA-SENSITIVE LINE-SCAN CAMERA
The new Owl camera line, with Low Noise Linear Sensors, offers
high sensitivity, low noise and a maximum clock rate of 50
Megapixels/sec per output. All cameras in the Owl family use
Camera-Link to ease the integration of the camera into a user's
application. They produce 14 bits per pixel and can be configured
to optimize their performance. With the sensitivity of a TDI
camera and the integration of a line-scan camera, the Owl
operates with under 10 e-/pixel read house at 40,000 lines/sec.

SOFTWARE FOR CREATING EMBEDDED VISION SYSTEMS
Version 6.1 of N.I.'s Vision Development software allows engineers
and scientists to create embedded vision systems in such applications
as automated inspection and alignment for manufacturing. The
6.1 module bundles IMAQ Vision 6.1 and IMAQ Vision Builder
6.1, letting users quickly prototype vision apps and generate
LabVIEW programs on a host computer, then deploy those apps
on a real-time PXI/CompactPCI platform. This software improves
pattern-matching accuracy up to ten times for use with both
the PXI and Windows platforms, while providing faster learning
speeds, a smaller image template size, and double the search
speed. NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS. Austin, TX.
