CoaXPress Camera Simulator

CamSim-X: CoaXPress Camera Simulator

The CamSim-X is a high-performance CoaXPress camera simulator designed for testing and validating imaging systems and Frame Grabbers. Fully compliant with CoaXPress standards, it generates video streams and test patterns that accelerate development, ensure robust validation, and reduce time-to-market.

Performance and Simulation Capabilities

The CamSim-X supports all CoaXPress pixel formats and delivers unmatched flexibility for developers. It transmits BMP and RAW image files as well as grayscale and color test patterns using its built-in generator. Moreover, users can program image timing and data parameters through an intuitive GUI, providing full control over simulation accuracy and flexibility. As a result, engineers gain both precision and efficiency during testing.

Flexible Development Tools

The CamSim-X offers a complete development environment:

• Application Software: GUI-based control for transmitting images, configuring parameters, defining timing, and displaying results.

• API Methods: A robust set of APIs for Windows and Linux, enabling tailored simulator applications.

• User-Configurable CC Lines: Programmable Camera Control lines for versatile triggering and synchronization.

In addition, these tools ensure seamless integration into diverse workflows and simplify the process of creating custom test setups.

Boosting Productivity and Reducing Costs

By enabling simulation in a low-cost lab environment, the CamSim-X eliminates reliance on expensive cameras during early-stage development. Furthermore, its data-flow repetition capability ensures reproducible testing, allowing engineers to validate algorithms and quickly identify and resolve rare bugs. Consequently, teams achieve higher productivity, lower costs, and stronger confidence in their imaging systems.
