1.6.3 Firmware, Camera Files and Downloads

Note that all the devices present on a NEO-PCE-CLD and NEO-PCE-CLQ will appear
in SysReg as separate BitFlow Boards Found. The order that the VFGs appear in Sys-
Reg is determined by the operating system and is somewhat arbitrary. However, Sys-
Reg lists the connector(s) associated with each VFG, so that a connection can be
made between VFG and physical connector on the board.

Recall that, even though NEO-PCE-CLD appears like two frame grabbers (the NEO-
PCE-CLQ as four), there is only one actual hardware platform. For this reason the firm-
ware of the of the VFGs on one board is linked. The selection of the master VFG,
determines the configurations of all of slave VFGs. For example, if you configure the
master VFG with a two-tap odd/even pixel camera, then the slave VFG will also have
to be configured for a two-tap odd/even pixel camera. In all other ways, however, the
two configurations do not have to match. If you have a requirement where this rule
must be broken, please contact BitFlow’s support department. Custom combinations
of firmware are available.

If there is a mismatch between the firmware required by one VFG’s camera file and
the firmware required by another VFG’s camera file, the master VFG’s firmware will
get priority. In practice this means that if you change the camera file for the master
VFG, and it requires different firmware than is already on the board, new firmware will
be downloaded next time you start an application. However, in the case of a slave
VFG, if different firmware is required than is on the board, an error message will pop
up indicating the problem. Thus all the camera files for a all the VFGs on one NEO-
PCE-CLD or NEO-PCE-CLQ should all require the same firmware. That said, if you
have a custom need for a particular arrangement of cameras, please let us know. We
can create custom firmware to solve almost any problem.
