The Linea ML Multispectral Camera
Install & Configure Frame Grabber & Software
Because of the high bandwidth required by this camera, we recommend a compatible Teledyne
DALSA frame grabber (OR-A8S0-FX840, or equivalent), described in detail on the
teledynedalsa.com site here
. Follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
A GenICam compliant XML device description file is embedded within the camera firmware and
allows GenICam
compliant applications to recognize the camera’s capabilities
following connection.
Installing Sapera LT gives you access to the CamExpert GUI, a GenICam compliant application.
Using Sapera CamExpert
CamExpert is the camera interfacing tool supported by the Sapera library. When used with the
camera, CamExpert allows a user to
access a camera’s features and parameters, and to
test the
operating modes. In addition, CamExpert can be used to save the camera’s user settings
configurations to the camera. Or saves multiple configurations as individual camera parameter files
on the host system (
*.ccf
). CamExpert can also be used to upgrade the camera’s software.
An important component of CamExpert is its live acquisition display window. This window allows
the user to immediately verify the timing or control parameters without needing to run a separate
acquisition program.
For context sensitive help, click on the
button and then click on a camera configuration
parameter.
A short description of the configuration parameter will be shown in a popup. Click on the
button to open the help file for more descriptive information on CamExpert.
Note:
The availability of features depends on the CamExpert user setting. Not all
features are available to all users. The examples shown are for illustrative purposes
and may not entirely reflect the features and parameters available from the camera
model used in your application.
