VisualApplets is designed to easily switch between different camera interfaces and protocols. In the following, basic acquisition designs for different camera interfaces are presented. All designs are implemented for a specific frame grabber. These are the microEnable 5 marathon VCL, LightBridge and microEnable 5 VCX-QP, microEnable 5 VQ8-CXP6D and microEnable 5 VD8-CL platforms. If you like to use another frame grabber which has the same camera interface and is of the same frame grabber generation, you can save the design to another frame grabber model. Check 'Target Hardware Porting' for more information on how to change the frame grabber of a design.

The following examples will not explain details such as bandwidth and the use of multiple DMAs. We have a look on this in ' Multiple DMA Channel Designs '.

The following table lists all basic acquisiton examples.
