The PC/104-Plusboard might have a PCI shroud, a plastic case that protects the PCI connector pins. However, it hinders air circulation, and therefore should be removed before installation.

Although it is possible to connect one or more acquisition boards, the actual number depends on the type of the required frame grabbers. For example, you can connect up to three Matrox Meteor-II frame grabbers or third-party PC/104-Plusboards.

You must configure multiple master-capable or interrupt-capable PC/104-Plusboards using their rotary switch; the rotary switch selects a specific PCI signal.

It is recommended that you configure the first module installed (the module closest to the motherboard) to 0, the second to 1, and so on. If you are installing

more than one PC/104-Plusboard, the rotary switch on each board must be set as follows:

You can simultaneously grab images from cameras attached to different frame grabbers. To grab at exactly the same time, the cameras must be genlocked (synchronized) and their camera definition formats (DCF) must be the same.
