Setting up the Detector
Network Interface Card
A Network Interface Card (NIC) is required to acquire images and control the Rad-icon
detector. A NIC with Jumbo packet support up to 9014 bytes is required to receive
streaming video, preferably with a PCI Express slot.
Teledyne DALSA advises to use the Intel Gigabit CT adapter Network Interface Card
(NIC) which is a low cost but high performance and reliable adapter with a PCI Express
slot.
Make sure that the latest driver of the NIC manufacturer is installed. We advise to use a
64-bit operating systems as the NIC drivers are better maintained.
Due to the high bandwidth used by the detector we strongly advise to have a direct
connection from the NIC to the detector.

Connect the trigger cable to the detector when the Trigger Mode of the detector is set to
Trigger or Snapshot.
Connect Ethernet Cable
Connect the CAT-6 Ethernet cable from the detector to the computer Ethernet jack. Secure

to 60 seconds.
