9. Camera Settings
9.1 Camera Control Tool
In the SP-20000-PMCL, control of all camera functions is done by the JAI SDK and Control Tool
software. All controllable camera functions are stored in an XML file inside of the camera. The
JAI SDK and Control Tool software can be downloaded from www.jai.com.
If you need to use the Short ASCII communication protocol and associated control tool, please
contact your local JAI representative.
Specific notes regarding Control Tool use:
1. For SP-20000-PMCL, the JAI SDK and Control Tool 2.0 can be used to control the camera,
provided the PC on which the JAI software is installed is connected to the camera via a GenCP-
compliant Camera Link frame grabber. Many frame grabber vendors also provide their own
GenICam control tool software, as do a number of third-party software companies. Software
conflicts can occur between these GenICam tools and the JAI SDK and Control Tool causing one
or both tools to function improperly. Therefore, if you intend to use the JAI SDK and Control Tool
you should A) not install any other GenICam software on your host PC, or B) install the JAI SDK
and Control Tool last, after installing any other software. This will, in most cases, ensure that
the JAI SDK and Control Tool functions properly. If not, please contact the frame grabber
manufacturer or JAI to determine other ways to eliminate any software conflict.
2. The frame grabber used must be compliant with Camera Link Specification v1.1 or greater
in order to communicate with the JAI SDK and Control Tool. If it is not, the JAI SDK and Control
Tool cannot be used, and the Short ASCII communication protocol and associated control tool
should be used instead.
