Interfacing Cameras with CamExpert
CamExpert is the camera-interfacing tool for Teledyne DALSA frame grabber boards supported by
the Sapera library. CamExpert is the primary tool to configure, test and calibrate your camera and
imaging setup. Display tools include, image pixel value readout, image zoom, and histogram.
An important component of CamExpert is its live acquisition display window which allows
immediate verification of timing or control parameters without the need to run a separate
acquisition program.
Functional tools include hardware Flat Field calibration and operation support (see
Correction: Theory of Operation
), plus support for either hardware based or software Bayer filter
camera decoding with auto white balance calibration.
After CamExpert identifies the camera (as per the Camera Link device discovery protocol), timing
parameters are displayed and the user can test image acquisition by clicking on
Grab
.
