Using CamExpert with Linea CL
Cameras
The Sapera CamExpert tool is the interfacing tool for GenCP compliant Camera Link cameras, and
is supported by the Sapera library and hardware. When used with a Linea CL camera, CamExpert
allows a user to test most of the operating modes. Additionally CamExpert saves the Linea CL user
settings configuration to the camera or saves multiple configurations as individual camera
parameter files on the host system (*.ccf).
An important component of CamExpert is its live acquisition display window which allows
immediate verification of timing or control parameters without the need to run a separate
acquisition program.
Click on any parameter and a short description is displayed below the Category pane. The same
context sensitive help is available by clicking on the
button then click on a camera
configuration parameter. Click on the
button to open the help file for more descriptive
information on CamExpert.
Note: The examples shown may not entirely reflect the features and parameters available from
the camera model and camera mode used in your application.
