To facilitate a head start in camera design-in with LS2G, we offer to your attention our evaluation platform an GUI. Our evaluation platform features a connector base suited to the LS2G family, while it also bases on a pragmatic digital readout electronics base with the Kintex 7 FPGA family.

Sensor control Graphical User Interface (GUI)

Along with the evaluation board, we provide a supporting GUI to control LS2G. The GUI can operate the sensor in internal self-triggered mode which is primarily intended for sensor evaluation, or alternatively we can supply an external triggered control for slow scan image capture via the Camera Link interface.

Reference FPGA design project

We offer a reference FPGA design for the LS2G sensor family based on our evaluation platform. The reference project includes a deserialization mechanic with dynamic phase alignment of the LVDS interface of LS2G.
