JAI CV-A11 in Partial Scan mode
JAI CV-A11 in Edge Pre-select (trigger) mode
JAI CV-A11 in Time Integration mode
Download the user's manual directly from the JAI webInterfacing Outline
Sapera and the X64-AN Quad device driver are installed.
Check for an existing CCA file, distributed with Sapera, that will provide camera timing
parameters. For the JAI CV-A11 the supplied file is "J_CV-A11.cca ".
Check the Teledyne DALSA web site for a published application note with camera files
Connect the interface cables for video and serial port control to the camera. The X64-AN Quad
provides power to the camera via the video cable.
Run the JAI CV-A11 camera control tool to set the camera in free run mode. This will simplify
testing the camera file timing parameters. The following screen image shows the control tool version
used within this document.
