The National Instruments part number 782849-01 corresponds to the PCIe-1473R Image Acquisition Device, a high-performance solution designed for advanced imaging applications. This device adheres to the Camera Link 1.2 standard and supports multiple camera configurations, including Base, Medium, Full, and Extended Full. It features two 26-pin MDR connectors for seamless camera interfacing and utilizes a PCI Express 1.1-compliant, 4-lane PCIe interface, allowing compatibility with both x8 and x16 slots. Equipped with a Virtex-5 LX50 reconfigurable FPGA, the device boasts 19,200 flip-flops, 6-input lookup tables (LUTs), and 48 DSP48 slices for efficient arithmetic operations, along with 1,728 kbits of embedded block RAM. For I/O capabilities, it includes a single external line with a voltage range of 0 to 5 V and a maximum pulse rate of 2 MHz. The pixel clock frequency spans from 20 MHz to 85 MHz, satisfying the minimum transmission requirement of 20 MHz as specified by Camera Link standards. Furthermore, the PCIe-1473R supports various baud rates ranging from 9.6 kbps to 921.6 kbps. Power consumption is rated at 1.5 A at +3.3 V and 1.25 A at +12 V, and it enables Power over Camera Link (PoCL) to deliver 12 V to connected cameras with a maximum output power of 4 W, incorporating the SafePower feature for enhanced reliability. Operating within a temperature range of 0 °C to 45 °C with 10% to 90% relative humidity, the device can be stored in a broader temperature range of –20 °C to 70 °C and is designed for indoor applications, necessitating proper enclosure for outdoor usage. The PCIe-1473R is suitable for altitudes up to 2000 m at 25 °C ambient temperature and complies with international safety standards including IEC 61010-1, EN 61010-1, UL 61010-1, and CSA 61010-1, ensuring safe operation in various environments.
