3 Hardware

3.1 Camera Connection

In order to use the camera, the following steps are required.

1. Connect the camera to the frame grabber board (image acquisition board) using a

Camera Link-compatible cable.

A single Camera Link compatible cable is used to connect the camera and frame

grabber board.

When using a directional Camera Link compatible cable, connect the connector

labeled "Camera side" to the camera.

2. Connect to the power supply.

Use the power cable to connect the camera to the power supply for the camera.

Connect the plug side of the power cable to the camera, and connect the

unprocessed side to the power supply for the camera. In addition to the above, a

personal computer, frame grabber board, imaging lens, lens mount, light source,

encoder, etc. are required. Select the appropriate one for your purpose and

configure it appropriately.
