Setting Up the Camera

3.1 Installation Overview

1. Install Ethernet card

Following the manufactuerer's instruction, install an Ethernet card. For gigabit
performance, you must install an intel PRO/1000 Ethernet card.

Note: Do not install the manufactuerer's driver. You will install the appropriate
QuickCam driver in a later step.

2. Install QuickCam GUI

Insert the Spyder3 GigE Vision CD into your CD-ROM drive and follow the onscreen
instructions to install the QuickCam GUI.

3. Install QuickCam driver

There is an overview of the available drivers in Section 2.3, below.

Open the Driver Installation Tool. On the Windows task bar, click Start > Programs >
DALSA QuickCam GEV > Tools > Launch EbDriver Tool.exe

From the Driver Installation Tool window, select the network adapter that is connected to
the camera and click the Configure... button.

From the Driver selection window, select your preferred driver.

For SG-11 cameras using the Intel PRO/1000 NIC adapter, choose the eBus Optimal
Driver.

If you are not using an Intel PRO/1000 adapter, choose the eBus Universal Driver and use
a network driver.
