4.1 Configuring the Camera with the Camera
Configuration Tool Plus (CCT+)
The Camera Configuration Tool Plus (CCT+) is a Windows
™

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.
