To power up the camera, plug the 12-pin Hirose connector into the camera and
wait for the boot phase to complete. For Goldeye Cool models, use the 4-pin
Hirose connector. The boot phase is indicated by a steady flashing of the Camera
Link status LED.
Connecting to host computer
After you have installed
Vimba Viewer
or a third-party application to your host
computer, connect your Goldeye CL camera via Camera Link cable with an SDR-26
connector for the camera side.
To retrieve information about the required connector type for the frame grabber
(either MDR-26 or SDR-26), refer to the frame grabber manual.
Goldeye CL cameras work with the following software options:
•
Vimba Viewer or Vimba SDK
•
Third-party software solutions
To acquire images the frame grabber SDK must be used.
NOTICE
Operation outside the allowed temperature range can damage the camera. For
best performance and to protect the camera from damage, keep the housing
temperature in the specified operating temperature range.
Observe the following:
•
To avoid camera crashes, operate the camera with a lens or lens adapter
attached only.
•
For maximum heat dissipation, affix the camera to a heat sink, using the
mounting holes.
-
Use mounting base and heat sink with large surface areas.
-
Use a mounting base with a high thermal conductivity.
•
Reduce ambient temperature. For example, in an outdoor application with
direct sunlight, provide shading by an enclosure.
•
Provide ventilation or other active cooling of camera, mounting base, and heat
sink.
The camera is not intended to be connected to a DC distribution network. The
maximum length for I/O cables must not exceed 30 meters.
