Configuring Camera Drivers

Camera drivers are provided as part of the Spinnaker SDK. The first time the camera is connected to the computer,
the operating system installs the driver.
To manage and update drivers use the SpinView application:
1. Start SpinView:
Start Menu-->All Programs-->Point Grey Spinnaker SDK-->SpinView
2. From the Devices list, select the camera and click the Switch Driver button.
3. Select the driver from the drop-down list.
4. Click Install Driver.
5.2 Configuring the IP Address—GigE only
When a new GigE camera is first powered and initialized, a dynamic IP address is assigned to the camera
according to the DHCP protocol. If DHCP addressing fails, a link-local address is assigned. You can configure the
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.
n
Program a persistent IP address for the camera.
n
Configure the default IP addressing behavior of the camera on startup using a persistent IP, DHCP or LLA.
n
Enable Jumbo Frames on the GigE NIC.
n
Both your camera and host adapter must have an IP address on the same subnet. This can be assigned in three
ways:
Persistent—The camera has a fixed IP address that does not change. Generally the address is within a
n
closed network range of 192.168.X.X.
