Internal Electronics and Processing
Newly designed electronics now allow the bit depth of the internal
processing to be raised from 10-bit to 16-bit, thereby rendering addi-
tional bit depth conversion unnecessary. This enables the processing
of all 16-bit image data without any compression, from the le loader
all the way down the data path to the D/A converter (digital-to-analog
converter).
The implementation of commonly-used FPGAs (eld-program-
mable gate arrays) on the electronics board results in improved data
handling and eliminates image transfer errors. In combination with the
CAN bus protocol, this speeds up both internal communication and
processing, while also making the system safer.
