imaWorx CXP-12 Quad#
To install the imaWorx CXP-12 Quad in your computer, plug it into a PCIe Gen. 3.0 x8 slot or higher. The following image shows an imaWorx CXP-12 Quad with two cameras connected to it:
Image Processing#
Image processing functionality is available on request. If you are interested, contact Basler Support.
Production Line Integration#
For integration into a production line, imaWorx CXP-12 Quad offers multiple general purpose inputs and outputs. 4 to 20 of the GPIOs (depending on the hardware add-ons used) are galvanically isolated.
These GPIOs enable you to do the following:
- Control peripheral devices by sending trigger signals, e.g. lighting signals and cameras signals.
- Receive various trigger signals from peripheral devices, e.g., shaft encoders and light barriers.
- Synchronize multiple imaWorx CXP-12 Quad frame grabbers.
- Synchronize connected devices.
Software Programming and Configuration Interface#
imaWorx CXP-12 Quad offers an easy-to-use API. The Framegrabber API allows to integrate the frame grabber into any image processing application. You can use the Framegrabber API to write code in the following languages:
- C/C++
- C# (wrapper available)
- Python (wrapper available)
For more information about the Framegrabber API, see the Framegrabber API documentation.
Alternatively, you can use Basler's GenTL Interface to develop your application in form of a GenTL consumer. For more information about the Basler GenTL Interface, see GenTL Interface documentation.

The PCIe bus data throughput depends on the mainboard, the chip set, and the BIOS configuration of the host computer. The number of installed PCIe boards also affects the throughput, e.g. a PCIe x8 connector may support only x4 performance. Always check the mainboard manual thoroughly to be sure.
The Front GPIO Connector#
The front GPIO connector covers the basic trigger setup of your frame grabber. Its trigger connector allows you to control peripheral devices (PLC).
The socket is located directly on the slot bracket:
In default configuration, the trigger connector of the front GPIO connector offers:
- 3 differential input signals or 2 differential and 1 single-ended input signal in pull-up mode
- 2 TTL output signals
情報
You can configure the pin assignment of the front GPIO connector to provide different input signals, e.g.:
- Pull-down
- 4 single-ended signals (and no differential signals).
To change the GPIO configuration, use the command line tool installed with the Framegrabber SDK.
For more information, see Input Configuration and gpioTool.
Pin Layout of the Front GPIO Connector#
情報
The front GPIO connector is provided in form of a MOLEX 83612-9020 connector. For this connector, a matching, ready-made MOLEX D-Sub cable is available (MOLEX 083422-9018).

取得アプレット#
To ensure optimum use of system resources, not all image acquisition and processing features designed for imaWorx CXP-12 Quad are loaded onto imaWorx CXP-12 Quad simultaneously. Instead, Basler provides various compilations of specific image acquisition and processing features that are combined to meet the requirements of a specific application field.
Typically, an applet supports a specific camera interface standard and topology, specific image acquisition features, and possibly specific image (pre-)processing features.
There are two kinds of applets: acquisition applets (*.dll) always delivered by Basler, and Enhanced Applets:
- The Enhanced Applets are a new set of ready-to-use applets, available for imaWorx CXP-12 Quad. Enhanced Applets are the link between AcquisitionApplets and Custom Applets: Enhanced Applets include functions for the acquisition and pre-processing of image and signal data, as well as the processing of system information. They provide the features Binning, Flat-Field Correction (FFC), and PGI Feature Set. In Enhanced Applets (imaWorx CXP-12 Quad) you find an overview of the available Enhanced Applets.
- Refer to Acquisition Applets for imaWorx CXP-12 Quad for more information about the delivered acquisition applets.
- For PDF documentation of the delivered acquisition applets (GenTL and Fglib), see Acquisition Applets for imaWorx CXP-12 Quad Documentation.
