Start up
Depending on the camera interface a Camera Link frame grabber or a a Gigabit
Ethernet port (1000Base-T) on the host computer is necessary.
1.
Connect the camera with the appropriate data cable to the computer.
2.
Plug the 15-pin connector of the power supply to the camera.
3.
Switch on the power supply.
Camera Link interface
The camera is controlled in two different ways: direct camera control signals
(called CC1 to CC4) on the one hand and more complex commands transferred
over a serial data interface on the other hand. For applying serial commands to
the camera, a serial terminal program can be used.
Gigabit Ethernet interface
The camera functions are controlled via GigE Vision features, which are inter-
nally mapped to the CC1 to CC4 signals or the corresponding serial commands.
Refer to the corresponding chapters to learn more about GigE feature mapping.
Direct camera control signals
A short survey of the CC signals is given below for users who already have some
experience in using Camera Link equipment and who plan to use the
Goldeye
camera with their self-developed software.
Some of the CC signals can also be externally applied to the 15-pin D-SUB
control jack.
Goldeye cameras with Gigabit Ethernet interface use the same CC signals , but
they are mapped to corresponding GigE Vision features.
