Data Stream Module Elements

The GenTL hierarchy exposes one GenTL Data Stream Module for each image data stream.

It gathers the elements involved into the image build-up and transport from the imaging device to a pool of GenTL buffers:

  • Image Acquisition Controller: This block is used for the control of the acquisition gate. It can be configured to receive real-time start-of-scan and end-of-scan trigger events from any I/O Toolbox output stream.
  • Acquisition Gate: This block filters the data input stream, selecting frames (area-scan imaging) or lines (line-scan imaging) to be acquired
  • FIFO Buffer: This block provides a temporary storage for the acquired image data.
  • Pixel Processing: This block performs pixel data formatting.

Note: The number of Data Stream modules per Device is determined by the installed firmware variant.
