can be found in Appendix C: Quick Setup and Image

Software and Hardware Setup

Recommended System Requirements
To achieve best system performance, the following minimum requirements are
recommended:
 High bandwidth Camera Link frame grabber. We recommend Teledyne DALSA's Xtium™-
CL MX4 frame grabbers. More information can be found here.
 Operating system: Windows XP 32-bit.

Setup Steps: Overview

Take the following steps in order to setup and run your camera system. They are described
briefly below and in more detail in the sections that follow.
Step 1: Install and Configure Frame Grabber and Software
(including GUI)
If your host computer does not have a full Camera Link frame grabber then you will need to
install one. Follow the manufacturer's installation instructions.
A GenICam™ compliant XML device description file is embedded within the camera firmware
allowing GenICam™ compliant application to know the camera's capabilities immediately
after connection. Installing SaperaLT gives you access to the CamExpert GUI, a GenICam™
compliant application.
Step 2: Connect Camera Link and Power Cables
 Connect the Camera Link cable(s) from the camera to the computer.
 Connect a power cable from the camera to a +12 VDC to +24 VDC power supply.
WARNING! Grounding Instructions
Static electricity can damage electronic components. It's critical that you
discharge any static electrical charge by touching a grounded surface, such as
the metal computer chassis, before handling the camera hardware.
