Distinguish from PCI-1405/1407/1408/1409 at a glance

PCI-1405: 1 channel, color + black and white, 8 bits, 16MB cache

PCI-1407: 1 channel, pure black and white, 8 bits, no cache

PCI-1408: 4 channels, pure black and white, 8 bits, no cache

PCI-1409: 4 channels, pure black and white, 10 bits, 16MB cache

PCI-1411: 1 channel, color + black and white, 8 bits, 16MB cache, with scaling / ROI

Alternative Models (Direct Upgrade)

PCIe-1427: PCIe, 1/4 channel color / black and white, compatible with traditional IMAQ

PCIe-1433: Camera Link digital, high-speed high-precision, preferred for new projects

USB-3 Color Industrial Camera: Low-cost without acquisition card, directly replaces analog solution
