2.2.2 Hardware Installation Steps When Powering the
Camera Via Power Over Camera Link (PoCL)
To install the camera hardware, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the power to the host PC that contains your frame grabber is switched off.
In the following step, you will be removing the plastic seal from the camera's lens
mount. To avoid collecting dust or dirt on the imaging sensor, be sure that the lens
mount is pointing down when you remove the seal.
2. Remove the plastic seal from the lens mount on the camera and mount a lens on the camera.
3. Mount the camera in your test setup.
4. Plug one end of a Camera Link cable into the base SDR connector on the camera and the
other end of the Camera Link cable into the base configuration connector on your frame
grabber.
5. Plug one end of a Camera Link cable into the medium/full SDR connector on the camera and
the other end of the Camera Link cable into the medium/full configuration connector on your
frame grabber.
(Note: if you will be operating you camera in a fashion that only requires the base Camera Link
configuration, it is not necessary to attach a cable to the medium/full connector. For more
information about when a camera will use the base configuration and when it will use the
medium/full configuration, see the camera user's manual.)
