Getting Started This chapter describes connection, configuration and start acquisition from ICAM- 540 via host PC. Connection an Ethernet Cable Align the alignment pin (Cable side) with the alignment channel (Device side) Inset the cable connector and tighten the threaded collar to fix the connection. ...
To configure and set up the ICAM-540 on the Windows 10 OS host PC, first ensure that the connection between your host PC and the ICAM-540 in your local network via Ethernet cable is correct. The default IP address of the ICAM-540 is 192.168.0.100. Please manually specify the TCP/IPv4 settings as follows: IP address: 192.168.0.X (where X is any number between 0-255, but IP conflicts should be avoided.)

Figure 4.9 Platform Settings 4.6.5 Hardware Trigger Mode In hardware trigger mode, the digital output pin of ICAM-540 must be connected to the trigger input (pin 10) of the cameras, and the camera will begin the process of exposing and reading out a frame, below are the operating procedures: Wire trigger input (pin 10) Configure the camera in hardware trigger mode.
4.6.6 Software Trigger Mode In software trigger mode, users can use the software API to control the image acqui- sition, and the camera will not acquire frames unless software acquisition command is executed, below are the operation procedures: Configure the camera in software trigger mode. Execute the image acquisition command through software API.
4.6.8 Set up the Digital I/O control ICAM-540 provides 2 port digital input and 1 port digital output for external connec- tion. 4.6.8.1 Digital Input There are two digital inputs (Pin 1, 5) that support debouncer features. The debouncer feature identifies the valid and invalid input signals via setting the debouncer value (the minimum period of time for the valid signal).
4.6.9 Trigger Delay The Trigger delay allows users to add a delay between the receipt of a hardware trig- ger signal and the moment the trigger becomes active. The unit of trigger delay is µm.
