Configuring The Camera - JAI TM-1327GE Series User Manual

3 Configuring the TM-1327GE Camera
The configuration of your GigE camera consists of two parts:
•
The imager configuration (CCD and control circuits)
•
The internal frame grabber configuration
The imager can be configured for partial scan, binning, etc., just like a Camera Link camera. The
internal frame grabber is automatically configured for the pixel type, windowing, image size and I/O
and so on, by the GigE camera software.
3.1 Setup
If you have a peer-to-peer connection between the TM-1327GE camera and your PC without network
switches, your packet size can be the default value (8128 bytes) as shown in Figure 9. However, if
you are connecting the TM-1327GE to your PC through a network switch, then you need to know
maximum packet size that your network switch supports. Typically, if your switch supports jumbo
packets, then you should keep the packet size to 8128 bytes. If your switch does not support jumbo
packets, then you may need to change the packet size to 1440 bytes.
Figure 9.
To use the integrated GigE camera software, use the following steps:
1. Start the Camera Interface Application. The dialog box shown in Figure 9 appears.
2. Click the Detect to detect the device and driver in the "Device Actions" panel.
3. Click Select Camera and select TM-1327GE or TMC-1327GE (color) from the camera list.
4. Select the "Acquisition" tab and click Configure. The camera configuration dialog box appears.
5. Select the "GigE Camera Software" tab. This is the Integrated GigE Camera Software shown in
Figure 11 on next page.
The TM-1327GE camera can operate in either 8-bit or 10-bit digital output mode. The 8-bit/10-bit
selection is possible through the GigE integrated software. To select the mode, open the Configure
page and select the Pixel Type tab as shown in Figure 10. Under Pixel Type, select either Grayscale
8, or Grayscale 10. Note that when Grayscale 10, 2 taps is selected, the LUT (Look-Up Table) is not
available in this mode.

3.2 Configuring the Imager
To configure the TM-1327GE's imager, use the integrated GigE camera software that is part of the
Cam2Net camera interface application. You can also use the AccuPiXEL GigE control tool, but that
will not update any internal grabber settings. "Hardware Introduction" on page 29 of this manual
contains a description of the different image settings of the camera.
