In the event that the device is physically connected, but the Sapera GigE Server icon is
indicating that the connected device is not recognized, click Scan Network to restart the
discovery process. Note that the GigE server periodically scans the network automatically
to refresh its state. See Troubleshooting for network problems.
Optimizing the Network Adapter used with Calibir
Most Gigabit network interface controllers (NIC) allow user modifications to parameters
such as Adapter Buffers. These should be optimized for use with the Calibir GigE during
the installation. Refer to the Teledyne DALSA Network Imaging package manual
for optimization information using the Network Configuration Tool.
Quick Test with CamExpert (Windows)
When the Calibir camera is connected to a Gigabit network adapter on a host computer,
testing the installation with CamExpert is a straightforward procedure.
Start Sapera CamExpert by double clicking the desktop icon created during the
software installation.
CamExpert will search for installed Sapera devices. In the Device list area on the left
side, the connected Calibir camera is shown or will be listed in a few seconds after
CamExpert completes the automatic device search (device discovery).
Select the Calibir camera device by clicking on the camera user defined name. By
default the Calibir GigE camera is identified by its serial number. The Calibir status
LED will turn light blue, indicating the CamExpert application is now connected.
Click on the Grab button for live acquisition (the Calibir default is Free Running mode).
Focus and adjust the lens iris. See
parameters with the Calibir GigE camera.
If the Calibir has no lens, just select one of the internal test patterns available (Image
Format Controls – Test Image Selector). All but one are static images to use with the
Snap or Grab function of CamExpert.
Refer to the Teledyne DALSA Network Imaging package manual if error messages are
shown in the Output Messages pane while grabbing.
