Using The Grab Demo - Dalsa PC2-CamLink User Manual

Using the Grab Demo

Server Selection
Run Grab Demo from the Start Menu: Start•Programs•DALSA•Sapera LT•Demos•Grab Demo.
When activated, Grab Demo first displays the "Acquisition Configuration" window. The first drop
down menu allows you to select any installed Sapera acquisition server (that is, installed DALSA
acquisition hardware using Sapera drivers). The second drop down menu allows you to select the
available input devices present on the selected server.
CCF File Selection
The "Acquisition Configuration" window is also used to select the camera configuration file required
for the connected camera. Sapera camera files contain timing parameters and video conditioning
parameters. The default folder used for camera configuration files is also used by the CamExpert
utility to save user generated or modified camera files.
Use Sapera CamExpert to generate the camera configuration file based on the timing and control
parameters entered. The CamExpert live 'Acquisition' window allows immediate verification of the
parameters. CamExpert reads both Sapera *.cca and *.cvi files for backwards compatibility with the
original Sapera camera files.
