Sapera CamExpert Guide
Using CamExpert with Genie HM/HC Cameras
CamExpert is the camera interfacing tool supported by the Sapera library. When used with a Genie camera,
CamExpert allows a user to test all Genie operating modes. Additionally CamExpert saves the Genie user settings
configuration to the camera or saves multiple configurations as individual camera parameter files on the host system
(
*.ccf ).
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.
For context sensitive help, click on the button 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.
The central section of CamExpert provides access to the Genie parameters. Five tabs group Genie parameters
depending on their type as described in the summary below. Each Genie configuration parameter is described in
detail following the summary.
Camera Information Displays Genie firmware details such as camera model, version, serial number
and MAC address. Users can set the User ID and set the power-up
configuration mode.
Sensor Parameters Displays both static and variable sensor parameters that are Genie model
specific. Variable parameters control Genie exposure, binning, gain and
exposure controls. The internal test image is selected here.
