IP address using the GenICam Features Transport Layer Control. Alternatively, SpinView is a tool included with the Spinnaker SDK that allows you to set the internet protocol (IP) configuration for any GigE interface cards or FLIR GigE Vision cameras connected to your system. Using SpinView, you can: Set the IP address for the current connection.
5 Configuring Oryx Setup use some bandwidth. Therefore, when calculating your bandwidth requirements, you should not attempt to use the full maximum of 1.25 GB. The default bandwidth is 850 MB. Note: If the packet size and packet delay combination exceeds the available bandwidth, frames will be dropped.
5 Configuring Oryx Setup To control SCDA use: GenICam—GevSCDA in the Transport Layer Control 5.4.2 Heartbeat The heartbeat is a mandatory GigE Vision feature to monitor the connection between an application and the camera. The application must continually reset the heartbeat timer, or the camera assumes an error has occurred and shuts down the connection.
Firmware is programming that is inserted into the programmable read- only memory (programmable ROM) of most FLIR cameras. Firmware is created and tested like software. When ready, it can be distributed like other software and installed in the programmable read-only memory by the user.
The camera must connect to an interface card. This is sometimes called a host adapter, a bus controller, or a network interface card (NIC). A 10G BASE-T NIC is recommended for streaming images on the Ethernet network between the camera and host system.
