Step 3: Establish Communication with the Camera

The camera is designed to power up with a GenICam-compliant interface. CamExpert
provides an easy-to-use GUI that can be used to set up and operate the camera.
The camera also comes with Teledyne DALSA's three letter command (TLC) interface
option, which can be accessed using a suitable terminal program such as
HyperTerminal™. If you want to use the TLC interface, refer to Appendix B: ASCII
Commands.
To establish communication with the camera:
1. Power on the camera
2. Connect to the frame grabber
3. Connect to the camera
Power on the camera
Turn on the camera's power supply. You may have to wait while the camera readies itself for
operation. The camera must boot fully before it will be recognized by the camera interface
application (for example, CamExpert) — the LED displays steady green once the camera is ready.
Connect to the frame grabber
1. Start Sapera CamExpert (or equivalent Camera Link compliant application) by double
clicking the desktop icon created during the software installation.
2. CamExpert will search for installed Sapera devices. In the Devices list area on the left side,
the connected frame grabber will be shown.
3. Select the frame grabber device by clicking on the name.
Note: The first time you set up the camera you will need to establish a communication
link between the camera and frame grabber.
