Using Sapera CamExpert with Piranha4
Cameras
CamExpert is the camera interfacing tool supported by the Sapera library. When used with a Piranha4
camera, CamExpert allows a user to test all camera operating modes. Additionally CamExpert saves the
camera user settings configuration to the camera or saves multiple configurations as individual camera
parameter files on the host system (
*.ccf
). CamExpert can also be used to upgrade the camera’s software.
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 camera features and parameters.
Note
