3.2 PFRemote Configuration Tool

The pfremote.exe is a remote configuration tool for the 1M28 and 1M75 cameras. With the
PFRemote, you can:

•

Control basic camera functions, such as gain, frame rates, and exposure times

•

Set exposure time

•

Set a window of interest

•

Set LinLog parameters

•

Set camera skimming

•

Read and alter camera registers

•

Save factory settings to your local computer

Install PFRemote

A 1M28_1M75_PFRemote_Software.zip file is provided on the CD shipped with the
camera. Unzip the 1M28_1M75_PFRemote_Software.zip and copy the files contained in
the zip file to a directory on your computer. Alternately, the latest version of the software
is also available at

http://vfm.dalsa.com/docs/docs.asp

in the “Software” folder.

Opening PFRemote

Before running PFRemote, make sure that you have installed your framegrabber and
framegrabber software.

To begin using the PFRemote:

1.

If it is not already open, open your framegrabber software with the configuration for
the 1M28 or 1M75 camera.

In the PFRemote folder:

1.

Double-click PFRemote.exe.

In the PFRemote dialog box:

2.

Right click on the COM port that the camera is connected to and select Open.
