In the tabs below, select your interferometer camera interface type. In the Filter Options at left, mark checkboxes to select only those expansion slots and/or ports that are open and available on your computer. For help in identifying a slot or port, click on its checkbox label.
At the bottom of this page is additional information about device drivers.
Analog 1394a 1394b USB 2.0 CameraLink GigESYBA Model SD-FWB-32B card adds 2 FireWire 1394b and 1 FireWire 1394a ports to your computer. Uses embedded Windows or Unibrain.com drivers.
The StarTech PEX1394B3 adds two IEEE 1394b FireWire 800 ports and one IEEE 1394a FireWire 400 port. Works without any additional drivers.
To connect a FireWire 800 (1394B) camera to a FireWire 800 port, you will need a 9-pin FireWire cable.
You will also need camera device driver software. Durango supports the National Instruments Vision Acquisition Software and the Carnegie Mellon University CMU 1394 drivers.
The SIIG FireWire 800 ExpressCard (Model NN-EC2812-S2) includes one 9-pin port and one 6-pin port. The card is powered by the bus.
Powering a camera over FireWire requires plugging Power Adapter (Model NN-ADA011-S1) into the card:
Adds two FireWire 800 ports to your laptop. Transfer rates up to 800Mb/s. Plug & play, driver free, hot-pluggable. Fits ExpressCard 34 and ExpressCard 54 slots. Powering a camera over FireWire requires that you attach a power adapter to the external 3.5 mm socket.
For many camera interface options, Durango requires National Instruments Vision Acquisition Software (NI-VAS). NI-VAS may be downloaded for a trial evaluation.
The free CMU 1394 drivers from Carnegie Mellon University are supported by Durango and are compatible with a wide range of digital cameras under Windows XP. We look forward to these drivers being someday available for Windows 7.
This software is included free of charge with all cameras, converters and grabbers manufactured by The Imaging Source.
Operates with all Basler cameras that have an IEEE 1394a, IEEE 1994b or GigE Vision interface. Internal architecture is based on GenICam. Durango does not yet support the Pylon drivers.
