Product Details:

NI PCI-1409 is a high-performance 4-channel monochrome IMAQ frame grabber on PCI bus, and this analog frame grabber supports standard progressive scan cameras, variable scan cameras and analog line scan cameras for precision measurement and industrial inspection. It adopts 10-bit ADC design to deliver richer grayscale information and lower noise than 8-bit grabbers, and supports asynchronous reset trigger which can capture frames immediately after trigger signal arrives without waiting for frame end. It is widely used for wafer surface inspection, PCB trace defect detection, web continuous scanning, precision dimensional gauging, scientific imaging, and legacy high-resolution vision system renovation. Engineers can deploy vision programs with LabVIEW, NI Vision Development Module and NI-IMAQ driver, configure ROI, programmable gain and lookup table, and utilize RTSI bus to synchronize timing and trigger signals with other DAQ and frame grabber cards for stable rtsi multi-board synchronization.

Key specifications and parameters: 10-bit analog-to-digital conversion, pixel clock range from 2 MHz to 40 MHz. It supports RS-170, CCIR, progressive scan and custom non-standard video timing, including analog line scan sensors. It has 4 independent trigger inputs and camera control signals, 16 MB onboard SDRAM buffer for frame caching. The input impedance is 75 Ohm, analog bandwidth reaches 30 MHz, with programmable gain and offset adjustment. It supports region-of-interest capture and pixel decimation to reduce bus load. The RTSI bus connector provides cross-card synchronization. The board uses standard PCI 2.3 interface, powered by PCI slot +5 V and +12 V. The operating temperature range is 0 ℃ to 55 ℃, storage temperature -20 ℃ to 70 ℃, 10%–90% non-condensing humidity. Status LEDs indicate video lock and trigger activity, helping technicians troubleshoot during commissioning. It is calibrated at factory to guarantee repeatable image quality for measurement applications.

This line scan camera acquisition board is an end-of-life legacy NI hardware. We supply fully inspected and calibrated refurbished units for replacement and maintenance of old precision vision and scanning systems. It can be matched with monochrome progressive scan cameras, line scan cameras and lighting controllers to build high-precision inspection benches. It is widely adopted in semiconductor manufacturing, printed film inspection, university optical measurement labs and precision metrology platforms. As a high-resolution 10-bit analog acquisition card, it provides reliable imaging for long-running measurement and inspection projects.
