Using Linea SWIR GigE with the Sapera API
Linea SWIR GigE Series Camera
Installation
Sapera development environment requires Sapera LT 8.50 or later when using a Linea SWIR
GigE camera where GigE Vision support is automatically installed.
If Sapera development is not required then Sapera LT SDK is not required to control the camera.
Sapera runtime with CamExpert provides everything to control the camera.
Procedure
•
Download and install Sapera 8.50, which automatically provides GigE Vision support.
•
Note: If the Sapera LT SDK package is not required, only install the Linea SWIR GigE camera
firmware and user manuals.
•
Connect the camera to an available Gigabit NIC.
Refer to Sapera LT User’s Manual concerning application development with Sapera.
Note: Teledyne DALSA’s Sapera CamExpert tool (used throughout this manual to describe Linea SWIR GigE
Vision features) are installed with either the Sapera LT runtime or the Sapera LT development package. If
Sapera application development is required, install Sapera (8.50 or later for all firmware support) as described
in the previous section.
Camera Firmware Updates
Download firmware updates from Teledyne DALSA
http://www.teledynedalsa.com/en/support/downloads-center/firmware/125/
to upload the latest firmware via Sapera CamExpert.
GigE Server Verification
The GigE Server icon is visible in the desktop taskbar tray or in the tray pop up (Show hidden
Icons) after a successful Sapera GigE Vision package installation.
(Note: The icon remains hidden in Windows until a camera is connected).
After connecting a camera (see following section) allow a few seconds for the GigE Server status to
update. Note: The camera must be on the same subnet as the NIC to be recognized by the GigE
Server.

GigE Server
Tray Icon:
The normal GigE server tray
icon when the camera device is
found. It will take a few
seconds for the GigE Server to
refresh its state after the
camera has obtained an IP
address.
The GigE server tray icon
shows a warning when a device
is connected but there is some
type of IP error.
A red X will remain over the
GigE server tray icon when the
camera device is not found. This
indicates a network issue. Or in
the simplest case, there is no
camera connected.
