Configuring Sony XC-ST50 Cameras
The 8100 supports the use of the Sony XC-ST50 family of cameras, including the
XC-ST50CE. If you purchase your XC-ST50 cameras from Cognex, they arrive ready to
use with the 8100. If you purchase your XC-ST50 from a third party, you must configure
the camera as shown in this section.
Figure 9 shows the back panel of the Sony XC-ST50 camera with the switches in their
factory default and rapid reset modes (8100M+ only). Note that if you set the XC-ST50
for rapid reset mode, you must also set a jumper on the MVS-8100, as described in
Using Rapid Reset Cameras
on page 17.
