Step 1. Install and configure the frame grabber,
and software (including GUI)
Install Frame Grabber
Install a Full configuration Camera Link frame grabber according to the manufacturer‘s description.
We recommend the Xcelera-CL PX4 frame grabber or equivalent, described in detail on the
teledynedalsa.com site
Install Sapera LT and CamExpert GUI
Communicate with the camera using a Camera Link-compliant interface. We recommend you use
CamExpert. CamExpert is the camera interfacing tool supported by the Sapera library and comes
bundled with SaperaLT. Using CamExpert is the simplest and quickest way to send commands to and
receive information from the camera.
Camera Link Environment
These cameras implement the Camera link specification, which defines the device capabilities.
The Camera link XML device description file is embedded within the camera firmware allowing Camera
link-compliant applications to recognize the cameras‘ capabilities immediately after connection.
