X-GCUAurora series control units X-GCU B and X-GCU GT are robust control units that operate as data acquisition boards in Aurora series powered detector subsystems. Combining a number of Aurora X-Cards with the series optimized X-GCU makes it easy to build high performance and reliable X-ray imaging subsystems. The GigE compatible control units provide a connection of up to 80 pieces of 64-channel, dual-energy Aurora X-Cards while enabling high data throughput speed. X-GCU B and X-GCU GT have a compact mechanical size, and both solutions come with on-board signal processing and diagnostic functions. Demonstration software, a control library and a sample source code are available to speed up evaluation and software development. KEY FEATURES • Configurable line stamp function with external RS-485 triggers • Remote firmware upgrade • Gigabit Ethernet interface • Auto-recovery • Software development kit available for rapid evaluation and software development • EMC compliance APPLICATIONS • Security inspection • Cargo and vehicle inspection • Multi-view imaging • Non-destructive testing • Food inspection • Raw material sorting • Thickness measurement • Foreign particle detection • CT imaging BENEFITS • Makes it easy to build high performance and reliable X-ray imaging subsystems • Provides a connection of up to 80 pieces of 64-channel dual-energy Aurora X-Cards • High throughput data transfer speed of up to 600 Mbps • Easy-to-use • Compact mechanical size • On-board signal processing functions - Offset and gain calibrations, adaptive constant integration time, pixel binning, line summing and averaging functions and pixel discontinuity correction • Diagnostics functions - Data test patterns, remotely readable temperature sensor, humidity sensor, voltage monitoring and stat
