A heatsink is recommended but depends on your design and usage.

A TF38 to FPC USB3 panel mount adapter allows a USB3 cable connection to a PC.
A TF38 to FPC RJ45 PoE panel mount adapter allows a GigE cable connection to a PC.

When the camera is first connected, the operating system automatically installs the camera driver. Camera drivers are
available with the Spinnaker SDK installation.
Run the SpinView application:
Start->All Programs-> Point Grey Spinnaker->SpinView
The SpinView application can be used to test the camera's image acquisition capabilities.
Changes to your camera's installation configuration can be made using the SpinView application.
