CCF File Selection
Use the acquisition configuration menu to select the required camera configuration file for the
connected camera. Sapera camera files contain timing parameters and video conditioning
parameters. The default folder for camera configuration files is the same used by the CamExpert
utility to save user generated or modified camera files.
Use the Sapera CamExpert utility program to generate the camera configuration file based on
timing and control parameters entered. The CamExpert live acquisition window allows immediate
verification of those parameters. CamExpert reads both Sapera *.cca and *.cvi for backward
compatibility with the original Sapera camera files.
