    7. Setting up the Detector GigE Network Adapter If the computer to be used with the detector does not have a Gigabit network adapter or second built in Gigabit NIC, a PCI bus Gigabit NIC needs to be installed. Typically under Windows XP the PCI Gigabit NIC is recognized automatically when Windows boots.

    Optimizing Settings The performance of the gigabit Ethernet connection on the host computer generally can be improved by adjusting some settings in the NIC. The below advices refer to the Intel Gigabit CT desktop adaptor. For a more detailed explanation please refer to “Network Optimization Guide (PDF)” and “Network Imaging User’s Manual (PDF)” which is part of the Sapera LT software package.
  • Page 13 time system response to the detector transfer) then the moderation rate should be set to “maximum” by manually adjusting the NIC parameter. In the end, this is a compromise: 1. Enable interrupt moderation to minimize CPU usage, at the expense of a slight increase in latency (recommended).
  • Page 14 UDP Checksum Offload (IPv4) Disable UDP Checksum Offload (IPv4). Flow Control The GigE Vision standard defines an inter-packet delay that can be used to manage flow control (i.e. the speed at which stream packet can be output to the network). This is useful when connecting multiple detectors to the same port of the network card, or when the network card/Ethernet switch (if used) is simply too slow to process those packets.

    9. Acquiring Images The CamExpert software can be started to acquire images. The software will display all available device parameters. The user has the option to either snap an image or to grab multiple images. Snapping an image produces a single frame, whereas the grabbing process generates multiple frames by operating in a continuous mode.

    10. Synchronization Modes The detector can be used in combination with either a DC X-ray source or a pulsed X-ray source. Free running Mode When using a DC X-ray source: The detector is operating in a continuous, asynchronous mode. The integration time window equals the frame time of the detector.
