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.
