Sapera LT Getting Started Manual
Camera Information
The two camera information fields (Blue Highlight) provide camera internal buffer information. The
Genie TS used in this example has an internal circular buffer for outgoing image data in cases
where the network or host computer are too busy to receive incoming packets. If the camera
internal buffers are all filled and subsequent image frames overwrite previous frames, the image
lost counter is incremented.
Message Area
The unlabeled field (Orange Highlight) can have messages about the demo program status,
concerning non-typical events.
Camera Firmware Update Example
For Teledyne DALSA GigE cameras that support GenICam file access, the camera firmware update
example demonstrates how to implement camera firmware updates and validation at the
application level. This can be useful to ensure that cameras are equipped with the required
firmware version certified for your system. The firmware version on the camera can be read (using
standard SNFC features), validated and updated as required by your application.
Note, all Teledyne DALSA GigE Vision cameras are designed with failsafe measures for the
firmware update process. If, for any reason, the firmware update is interrupted, the camera
will always revert to the previously installed firmware.
