The Best in Test Product Awards have been presented annually since 1991 and highlight innovative new products and services in the electronics test and measurement industry. This year's award finalists introduced a new product between November 1, 2009 and October 31, 2010 that represents a significant advancement in the test, measurement and inspection field.

“Teledyne DALSA is delighted to have been selected as a finalist for the Best in Test award’s machine vision and inspection category,” says Senior Product Manager Xing-Fei He. “The Piranha HS 12k camera is an ideal solution for high-speed imaging with next generation data connectivity. The camera's combination of speed, resolution and sensitivity is unmatched in the industry.”

Teledyne DALSA’s Piranha HS 12k 90-kHz camera is the world's first 12k TDI (time delay and integration) camera using the HSLink interface. The camera delivers breakthrough speeds of over 1 gigapixel per second with the new machine vision connectivity interface pioneered by Teledyne DALSA which is being adopted by the AIA as the new Camera Link HS™ standard. Camera Link HS takes the key strengths of Camera Link and adds new features and functions to meet customer's demands today and tomorrow.

The Piranha HS cameras provide an alternative to other line scan imaging by meeting the line rates and responsivity necessary for high-performance applications. Its 12k pixel resolution allows users to reduce the number of cameras in a system. The camera is suited for the inspection of flat-panel displays, electronics, printed-circuit boards, and solar cells, as well as for other high speed web applications.
