The board supports dual channel and 32-bit color formats. With its integrated dual head display acquisition (odd/even pixel or lines) from 8, 10, or 12-bits/pixel area capability, live images can be displayed on the primary or secondary scan cameras and can acquire images at rates of up to 60MHz in display output, in a window or in full screen mode.

Auxiliary Controls The Bandit-II Digital offers a cost-effective solution for machine vision applications by delivering value packed features such as trigger input, strobe output, exposure control and up to 12 general purpose I/Os. The trigger input can be programmed as active high or active low. For precise exposures, the strobe output is driven from a high precision timer output. The 12 general purpose I/Os are available through an optional add-on module providing 8 inputs and 4 outputs.
