If one or both LEDs are orange instead of green, make sure the cables are connected in
the right ports order and are undamaged.
Connecting
Kinetix with
USB
The Kinetix camera’s USB 3.2 10 Gbps interface (formally known as USB 3.1 Gen 2) is
ubiquitous and easy to use. To use the interface, the PC must have an open USB 3.2 or
Thunderbolt port.
User Tip: USB devices sharing the same bus as Kinetix contend for available bandwidth,
potentially causing the camera to drop frame rate. For this reason, Teledyne
Photometrics recommends isolating the camera to its own USB 3.2 root hub as shown in
the Windows Device Manager. A method for creating an independent root hub in
computers with many USB devices is to install a PCI Express-based USB 3.2 interface card
for use with the camera. We do not recommend connecting Kinetix to USB 3.0.
You are now ready to connect the USB 3.2 cable:
1. With the camera off, connect the USB 3.2 cable to the camera and host
computer.
2. Power the camera on.
3. Wait 30 seconds before launching the application. An LED on the back of the
camera will stop blinking when the camera is initialized and ready to
communicate.
