Camera Link mapped by means a virtual COM-port supported by the Frame Grabber 

Figure 5.2: 

After launching the application it will autodetect the COM-port number or other communication 
channel. Make sure to select the correct COM-port.The application will then check communication and 
if OK, it will read the camera type and serial number from the camera and display the information in 
the status bar.

Example status bar

Figure 5.4: 

All basic functions of the camera can be controlled by an intuitive user interface. These functions are 
accessable via different tabs at the top of the application. The following tabs are available

User settings tab

• 

User storage tab
