DLP® Projection and Image Acquisition Integrated
DLS Modules - Direct Link Sensor
ViALUX Scanning Modules - Direct Link Sensor (DLS)
The DLS Module addresses machine vision use cases that demand for coupling high-performance DLP® projection with corresponding image acquisition. The DLS concept overcomes the former need of multiple separate devices for pattern projector and camera. DLS integrates both, DLP® chip and image sensor, in one single electronics. That approach results in straight forward system setup maintaining maximum performance. The user defines a projection sequence and receives the corresponding image sequence on return.
Advantages
The DLS principle of operation offers significant advantages for machine vision applications requiring flexible scene illumination:
  • Projection and imaging components are precisely synchronized
  • High bandwidth transfers are running independent from PC
  • Hardware integration guarantees real-time data flow
  • The DLS Module requires only one USB 3.0 interface
  • The clear API software facilitates rapid application development

Applications for ViALUX DLS Devices
One example of an application is constant colour rear projection during continuous scanning, all achieved with one device.
Another example of the practical application of DLS devices is their ability to operate in synchronization with several modules. This prevents mutual interference, even in overlapping scan areas, thanks to precisely synchronized scan sequences. This is used for head scan, for example.
The diagram shows the architecture of a user-defined application. At the top is the block “User-defined application”, API interface: ZsnApi.dll; DLS DLL<br />The DLS DLL establishes a connection to the external DLS driver, which in turn provides an interface to the hardware.
The diagram shows three devices connected in series. Each device has two circular connections. The first and last devices are connected to terminating resistors, while the middle device is connected to the two neighboring devices via a common bus.
