Design and realization of four-channel image data acquisition for framing gated camera

Firstly, the paper introduces the principle and basic architectural scheme of the high-speed framing gated camera. Then, elaborates the hardware design and realization for the four-channel synchronous image data acquisition. After that, the functions and the development of the control software are discussed in detail. Some critical problems and the solutions, such as the multi-channel data synchronous acquisition controlling, the multi-image synchronous displaying, the selection and saving for the useful image data, and the correction for lightness difference between odd and even image fields, are emphasized. At last, the integrated camera is tested, and the performance of data acquisition system for it is analyzed.
