How to get started (GigE G2)
3.1
Introduction
This guide shows you:
•
How to install the required hardware (see Section 3.2)
•
How to install the required software (see Section 3.3) and configure the Network Adapter
Card (see Section 3.4 and Section 3.5)
•
How to acquire your first images and how to modify camera settings (see Section 3.6)
•
A Starter Guide [MAN051] can be downloaded from the Photonfocus support page. It
describes how to access Photonfocus GigE cameras from various third-party tools.
3.2
Hardware Installation
The hardware installation that is required for this guide is described in this section.
The following hardware is required:
•
PC with Microsoft Windows OS (XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8)
•
A Gigabit Ethernet network interface card (NIC) must be installed in the PC. The NIC
should support jumbo frames of at least 9014 bytes. In this guide the Intel PRO/1000 GT
desktop adapter is used. The descriptions in the following chapters assume that such a
network interface card (NIC) is installed. The latest drivers for this NIC must be installed.
•
Photonfocus GigE camera.
•
Suitable power supply for the camera (see in the camera manual for specification) which
can be ordered from your Photonfocus dealership.
•
GigE cable of at least Cat 5E or 6.
Photonfocus GigE cameras can also be used under Linux.
Photonfocus GigE cameras work also with network adapters other than the Intel
PRO/1000 GT. The GigE network adapter should support Jumbo frames.
Do not bend GigE cables too much. Excess stress on the cable results in transmis-
sion errors. In robots applications, the stress that is applied to the GigE cable is
especially high due to the fast movement of the robot arm. For such applications,
special drag chain capable cables are available.
The following list describes the connection of the camera to the PC (see in the camera manual
for more information):
