Overview
Vimba offers a GenTL compatible configuration transport layer to access a GenCP

The Vimba Viewer is used as control application only. Images of the camera are
grabbed via the viewer application that comes with the frame grabber software

Adjusting the transfer speed for your frame grabber
Not all frame grabbers support the same maximum data transfer speed. The
maximum bit rate supported by various frame grabbers is vastly different.
Therefore, the default bit rate for use of Vimba with Camera Link is set to the
minimum bit rate of 9600 baud.
