Connecting your camera to a computer
If using a laptop insert the Express Card to Camera Link adapter while the PC is switched off
and make sure it is secure. If using a PC, insert the EPIX controller card into the correct slot of
your PC. You can visit
http://www.epixinc.com
for further support issues.
Insert EPIX software key dongle into a USB port (the red light on the dongle should light up).
Boot up the computer.
Use the Camera Link cable to connect the camera to the computer.
Connect the other end of the Camera Link cable to the camera.
Carefully thread the C-mount lens onto the camera’s lens ring, rotating the lens in a clockwise
direction until it is securely fastened. Use the lens controls to adjust focus. We suggest that
the camera be mounted on a tri-pod or an optical bench.
Connect the 12V power supply to the camera.
The Owl 640 camera is compatible with all types of CameraLink frame grabber. However, our cameras
are extensively tested using Epix Inc. equipment’s XCAP, for this reason we recommend XCAP software.
