Shad-o-Scan 3001/4501 X-Ray Detector
Teledyne DALSA
Quick Test with CamExpert
When the Shad-o-Scan detector 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 Sapera LT software installation or via the Start menu.
▪
CamExpert will search for installed Sapera devices. In the Device list area on
the left side, the connected detector is shown or will be listed in a few
seconds after CamExpert completes the automatic device search (device
discovery).
▪
Select the Shad-o-Scan detector device by clicking on the camera user defined
name. By default, the Shad-o-Scan detector is identified by its serial number.
▪
Click on the Grab button to start a continuous acquisition (the Shad-o-Scan
detector factory default acquisition mode is Free Running mode).
▪
See "Operational Reference" for information on CamExpert parameters with
the Shad-o-Scan detector.
▪
The Snap or Grab function of CamExpert can be used to acquire live
image(s). By default, this will be dark signal from the sensor from the
parameters pane. A digital test pattern can be selected for testing
network/computer bandwidth issues.
▪
Refer to the Teledyne DALSA Network Imaging package manual if error
messages are shown in the Output Messages pane. But first, increase the
value of the Interpacket Delay feature available from the GigE Vision
TransportLayer Category group in CamExpert. An increase from default
may correct errors with NIC interfaces that do not have adequate
performance.
