4.1 Configuring the Camera with the Camera
Configuration Tool Plus (CCT+)
The Camera Configuration Tool Plus (CCT+ for short) is a Windows
™
based program used to
easily change the camera’s settings. The tool communicates via the RS-644 serial connection in
the Camera Link interface between the frame grabber and the camera. The tool automatically
generates the binary programming commands that are described in Section
4.2 . For instructions
on installing the tool, see the installation booklet that was shipped with the camera.
This manual assumes that you are familiar with Microsoft Windows and that you have a basic
knowledge of how to use programs. If not, please refer to your Microsoft Windows manual.

configured and that the camera has power.

F1 key and look through the online help included with the tool.
