Note



Please read through this manual carefully.

We assume that you have read already the

How to install a GigE

camera (Bigeye/Pearleye/Goldeye)

and that you have

installed the hardware and software on your PC or laptop (GigE
interface card, cables etc.). For Goldeye CL-... cameras refer to
the documentation of the grabber manufacturer.
