Confirming Image Streaming
After the CL-GigE is physically connected to the computer, use eBUS Player with the test pattern feature
enabled to verify that the CL-GigE can stream properly to the computer.
After you have confirmed that eBUS Player is receiving the test pattern from the CL-GigE, disable the
test pattern so that the CL-GigE can stream images from the camera.
