The lens of Matrox Iris GT is a sensitive device. It should never be touched directly.

Matrox Iris GT comes with the Matrox Iris portal website installed. The Matrox
Iris portal website consists of a series of pages through which you can configure
your Matrox Iris GT, find other smart cameras on your network, update the
firmware, manage Matrox Design Assistant projects, and handle licensing
information.
The Matrox Iris GT with Design Assistant package is also distributed with Matrox
Design Assistant, a flowchart-based, Windows program that integrates a
development environment for Matrox Iris GT smart cameras. It allows you to
create an imaging application without writing a single line of code. Application
development is visually a step-by-step approach, where each step is taken from an
existing toolbox and is configured through a series of dialog windows. Matrox
Design Assistant runs on your development computer and uses the resources of
your Matrox Iris GT smart camera (for example, to grab an image and
communicate with connected devices) to build projects. Once the project is built,
it runs on your Matrox Iris GT without relying on the resources of your
development computer.
