Software; Va-Genie Camera Setup - Vision VA61 User's Reference Manual

VA6x User's Reference
e. Close CamExpert, and run the Genie Firmware Update utility. If the status says "Update
Required" the camera firmware is outdated. Click "Automatic" to run the update. If the
status says "Update Not Required" the configuration file is outdated. Follow the steps in
Appendix E to set up your Genie camera and save a new configuration file.
4. You have launched Sherlock, but you do not see a camera image on the display.
a. Pull down the Options–Acquisition menu. This display will tell you if there is not license
for acquisition.
b. The Options–Acquisition display will tell you what drivers are enabled and loaded.
Verify both the SaperaLTDrv and IFCDrv drivers are enabled. If they are not both en-
abled, enable them now and close Sherlock. Drivers are loaded only when Sherlock first
opens.
c. If there is no Image Window, it is possible the Color Camera is not configured for RGB
color. Sherlock does not support Raw 8, YUY2 or UYVY settings. Refer to Appendix E
on configuring the Genie camera.
d. Right-click in the Image Window, and select a camera. If there are no camera selections
available, the Sapera LT driver did not load correctly.
e. Verify that the lens aperture is not closed.
f. Verify that the inspection area (meaning the area that the camera is viewing) is correctly
illuminated.

Software

There are several software packages that make the VA61 operate with the Genie cameras and ap-
plication programs. This section attempts to show how these relate and depend on each other.

VA-Genie Camera Setup

• Configures the Genie camera(s) with fixed IP Addresses compatible with the two camera ports
on the VA61. This action is performed the first time this utility is run after a new Genie camera
is connected. After that, opening this utility verifies the camera addresses are compatible with
the ports they are connected to. Fixed addresses are necessary for iNspect/iLabel.
• VA61 I/O drivers. Configures the connection of trigger inputs and strobe outputs from the
25-pin Industrial I/O Connector to the two 15-pin Camera power and I/O connectors. For Sap-
era LT and Sherlock, the driver default (no configuration file) is 2 separate triggers, and strobe
outputs disabled. You can make changes and save them to a file for use with Sherlock. Example
files are included on the VA61. iNspect/iLabel has its own separate control of the VA61 I/O.
