Device Selector: The Device menu allows you to view and select from any installed Sapera
•
acquisition device. After a device is selected, CamExpert only presents acquisition parameters
applicable to that device.
The Configuration menu allows selecting any camera file that is included with the Sapera
installation. Only camera files supported by the selected acquisition device are displayed. When
there is more than one acquisition server, such as monochrome and RGB, selecting an
inappropriate camera file will produce a message prompting you to select the correct acquisition
server.
The Detection command buttons allow you to detect cameras that comply with the GenICam
GenCP protocol or Teledyne DALSA cameras that use the three letter protocol. Clicking the
Settings button allows you to set the camera detection communication settings.
