Sherlock®-Obtaining A License - Dalsa Z-Trak2 2K Series User Manual

Sherlock®—Obtaining a License
Sherlock is a software tool that helps develop machine vision applications quickly and easily, using an intuitive
visual interface, and most importantly without any coding required. It includes Z-Trak 3D Apps Studio and its suite
of streamlined tools for 3D metrology, which simplifies 3D inspection and dimensional measurement tasks. The
generated applications can be tested and then easily deployed.
Sherlock can be used with various devices that support the GenICam standard. When bundled with Z-Trak2 or
Z-Trak LP2C, Sherlock can be unlocked for use with the unit: the license is keyed to the serial number of the
profiler and stored in a register on the profiler. The license is portable and moves with the device. Z-Trak2 and
Z-Trak LP2C require the Sapera LT Runtime software to read the registers.
Sherlock is available for download from the Teledyne Vision Solutions website. To obtain a license for a
Z-Trak2/Z-Trak LP2C 3D sensor, use the software registration page as indicated in the procedure below.
To obtain a license for Sherlock
You will need your Z-Trak2/Z-Trak LP2C serial number at hand, which you can find through Z-Expert in the
Profiler Management category.
1. Download Sherlock through the Teledyne Vision Solutions website.
2. On the Teledyne's Software Registration page, register your copy by selecting Sherlock 3D for Z-Trak and
entering your unit's serial number.
3. Click Generate Software Key. A software license key for your device will be shown on screen; it will also be
sent to you by email.
To install and unlock Sherlock
You must have administrator rights for installation.
1. Install Sherlock on your computer.
2. Power your 3D sensor device and connect it to the host computer NIC. Wait for it to be found by the Sapera
GigE Server in the notification area (see GigE server device status). It takes a few seconds for the GigE
Server to refresh its state after a device has obtained an IP address.
3. On the Start menu, open the Teledyne DALSA Sherlock 8 folder, and select License Manager. Verify that
you can see the Z-Trak2/Z-Trak LP2C 3D sensor, which should be listed as Sapera LT Board followed by a
7-digit serial number (you may need to scroll down the list). Note: You may need to open Z-Expert and
connect to your device.
4. Enter (or copy and paste) the software license key in the Enter License text box, then click Update License.
5. Verify that the license status for the Z-Trak 3D sensors option indicates Licensed.
