Page 19: Configuring The Host Computer
If your host computer has an available Ethernet port, this can be used with Allied Vision GigE cameras. Allied Vision recommends that your camera system uses a dedicated Ethernet port not shared with Internet or local area networks. If more ports are needed, or your existing NIC is unable to operate at Gigabit Ethernet speeds, installing additional hardware may be required. -
Page 20: Optional: Modifying Nic Ip Address
Installation and hardware Optional: Modifying NIC IP address After initial NIC hardware installation, connect the NIC directly to the camera. The default configuration assigns an IP address automatically using the Link-Local Address range of 169.254.xxx.xxx or an address defined by the DHCP server, if present. -

Page 25: Applied Standards
The GenICam standard consists of multiple modules that specify tasks to be solved. Allied Vision cameras and software make use of these modules, like the SFNC that standardizes feature names and types via an XML file or the transport layer interface (GenTL) that is used to grab images. -
Page 26: Frame Memory
Specifications Frame memory Normally, an image is captured and transported in consecutive steps. The image is taken, read out from the sensor, digitized and sent over the GigE network. Prosilica GB cameras are equipped with an image buffer. The memory operates according to the FIFO principle. -
Page 27: Absolute Qe Plots
Specifications Absolute QE plots Important notice before reading the QE plots All measurements were done without protection glass or IR cut filter. With protection glass or filters, QE decreases by approximately 10 percent. The uncertainty in measurement of the QE values is 10 percent. This is mainly due to uncertainties in the measuring apparatus itself (Ulbricht sphere, optometer). -
