First Steps Configuring the Camera All of MIKROTRON’s CXP cameras are compliant to the CoaXPress specification. CoaXPress standardizes down‐ and uplink protocols, interfaces, cables, and connectors used by CoaXPress compliant cam‐ eras and frame grabbers. All our CXP cameras use GenICam, which is a standardized generic programming interface.
