Start Guide
This guide will help you get up and running using the
PYTHON Family of CMOS Image Sensors with the
ON Semiconductor G3 Evaluation Hardware and Sensor
Studio II Software.

Before You Start

•
Evaluation Hardware and Supported Image Sensor
Verify that you have the required hardware for the
sensor being evaluated:
G3 FPGA board
♦
Imager head board for the sensor being evaluated
♦
Optional lens mount kit
♦
•

EVAL BOARD USER'S MANUAL

Assemble Evaluation Hardware

•
Install image sensor on image sensor headboard making
sure that the image sensor is in the proper orientation.
•
If using lens mount kit, assemble the appropriate
configuration for the optic you intend to use (C or F).
(see instructions provided in the kit)
•
Plug the headboard into the G3 Capture Card and
secure with card guide clips provided.
•
If using the 1/4−20 mounting feature on the G3 Frame,
ensure that your mounting screw does not contact the
bottom side of the FPGA circuit board.
•
Plug in power and communications cables
With the Evaluation Kit powered off, insert the USB
cable into your PC. Insert the power plug into the
receptacle on the Imager/FPGA board. Turn on the
Power. Use Device Manager to verify "Truesense
USB3" seen by the system.

Run Sensor Studio II

•
Shortcut
To properly configure the shortcut icon, right click,
choose properties and then select the compatibility tab.
Set the OS for your OS and enable "run as admin".
The latter is needed if you install Sensor Studio II in the
standard Program Files area which is owned by admin.
•
Launch Program
Double click the Sensor Studio II desktop icon to
launch the software.
