Installation
The USB flash drive included with your camera contains the CamConfig configuration
software for Camera Link® cameras. The software is compatible with Microsoft Windows,
32-bit and 64-bit operating systems: Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10.
Before Installing the Configuration Software:
1.
Insert the USB flash drive in your computer.
2.
Open File Explorer and locate the flash drive.
3.
Double click the flash drive.
4.
Drag and drop one of the following files to your desktop:
5.
IpxCameraSdk_x_x_x.exe for USB3 or GEV cameras.
6.
Cheetah_CL_x_x_x.exe for Camera Link cameras.
IMPORTANT
: If an older version of the configuration software is on your computer, you
must remove it. The software installation process will do this for you, or you can remove
the software before beginning the installation. To remove the software before
installation, open Control Panel on your computer, select Programs and Features, and
select uninstall for Cheetah Camera Link.
Installing the Software:
1.
Double click the file that you transferred to your desktop (either
IpxCameraSdk_x_x_x.exe or Cheetah_CL_x_x_x.exe)
2.
When the Open File screen appears, click Run.
3.
After the Welcome screen appears, click Next.

Troubleshooting CamConfig Configuration Software:
When you start the CamConfig software, your camera should appear listed with your
computer COM port. If not, you might need to locate your frame grabber’s DLL file and
move it to C:\Windows\System32.
1.
Search File Explorer for the DLL file by entering clser* in the search field.
2.
Your frame grabber’s vendor name (abbreviated) should appear where XXX is
shown in the clserXXX.dll file name.
Achieving Best Performance for Cheetah Camera Link Cameras:
For Camera Link models C2880 and C4080, set the line time to the minimum value
possible without causing overruns / missed frames.
