Sapera Demo Applications
Xtium2-CXP PX8 User's Manual
Using the Grab Demo
Server Selection
Run the grab demo from the start menu:
Start•Programs•Sapera LT•Demos (GUI based)•+ Demos•GrabDemo.exe
The demo program first displays the acquisition configuration menu. The first drop menu displayed
permits selecting from any installed Sapera acquisition servers (installed Teledyne DALSA
acquisition hardware using Sapera drivers). The second drop menu permits selecting from the
available input devices present on the selected server.
CCF File Selection
Use the acquisition configuration menu to select the required camera configuration file for the
connected camera. Sapera camera files contain timing parameters and video conditioning
parameters. The default folder for camera configuration files is the same used by the CamExpert
utility to save user generated or modified camera files.
Use the Sapera CamExpert utility program to generate the camera configuration file based on
timing and control parameters entered. The CamExpert live acquisition window allows immediate
verification of those parameters. CamExpert reads both Sapera *.cca and *.cvi for backward
compatibility with the original Sapera camera files.
Grab Demo Main Window
The Grab Demo program provides basic acquisition control for the selected frame grabber. The
loaded camera file (.ccf) defines the Frame buffer defaults.
Refer to the Sapera LT User's Manual (OC-SAPM-USER), in section "Demos and Examples –
Acquiring with Grab Demo", for more information on the Grab Demo and others provided with
Sapera LT.
