MultiChannel makes it possible to record an object, e.g. sheet material, with several lighting setups in just one scan with a monochrome line scan camera. The lighting is synchronised with the camera exposure through time multiplexing. A total of eight lighting signals are available, which can be distributed to up to eight image channels as required. Each image channel can be freely configured up to the maximum speed of the camera. This means that each channel can work with an individual exposure time. In contrast to many other applications where the slowest clock determines the line frequency, MultiChannel allows the recording speed to be significantly optimised…
