  • Page 4: System Precautions And Safety

    Failure to comply with these precautions, or with specific warnings noted in this manual, violates the safety standards of design, manufacture and the intended used of this system. Teledyne DALSA assumes no responsibility for the user’s failure to comply with these requirements.

  • Page 5: Emc Compliance

    Stacking Teledyne DALSA does not recommend that the user stack the product or use it in adjacent to other equipment. If this arrangement is unavoidable, then the (End-)user must ensure that there is adequate airflow around the detector and that normal operation conditions are maintained.

  • Page 6: System Precautions

    Warning: The use of accessories, power supplies and cables other than those specified, with the exception of cables sold by Teledyne DALSA as replacement parts, may result in increased emission or decreased immunity of the Rad-icon 1520 Detector. Static precautions Observe proper ESD/static control procedures when handling system components.

    A NIC with Jumbo packet support up to 9014 bytes is required to receive streaming video, preferably with a PCI Express slot. Teledyne DALSA advises to use the Intel Gigabit CT adapter Network Interface Card (NIC) which is a low cost but high performance and reliable adapter with a PCI Express slot.

  • Page 14: Software Installation

    Check the CD that shipped with your detector for installation files for CamExpert, the GigE driver and/or the ShadoCam software. To obtain the latest versions, or software for a newer operation system, it may be necessary to go to the Teledyne DALSA website for the latest updates.

Incoming image packets remain in the PC memory allocated to store packets instead of immediately being copied into the image buffer. By increasing the number of NIC (network interface card) receive buffers, more incoming image packets can be stored by the NIC before it must start discarding them.
