The CamExpert sections are:
•
Device:
Select which acquisition device to control and configure a camera file for. Required in
cases where there are multiple boards in a system and also when one board supports multiple
acquisition types.
•
Camera:
Select the timing for a specific camera model included with the Sapera installation or a
standard video standard. In this example the selection is PAL standard. Standard monochrome
video would be either CCIR or RS170. The
User's
subsection is where created camera files are
stored.
•
Timing & Control Parameters:
The central section of CamExpert provides access to the various
Sapera parameters supported by PC2-Comp Express. It is divided into five tabs:
Basic Timing Parameters
Basic parameters used to define the timing of the camera. This
includes the vertical, horizontal, and pixel clock frequency.
This tab is sufficient to configure a free-running camera.
Advanced Control Parameters
Advanced parameters used to configure camera control mode
and strobe output. Also provides analog signal conditioning
(brightness, contrast, DC restoration, and so forth)
External Trigger Parameters
Parameters to configure the external trigger characteristics.
Image Buffer and AOI Parameters
Control of the host buffer dimension and format.
Multi-Camera Control Parameters
Provides camera selection. Includes planar transfer.
•
Display:
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.
Grab
starts continuous acquisition (button then toggles to
Freeze
to stop).
Snap
is a single frame grab.
Trigger
is a software trigger to emulate an external source.
•
Output Messages:

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.
