• When you open the Sapera Acquisition Wizard to create a configuration file, it attempts to
access or gain control of all Genie cameras visible on the network. If another PC or Appliance
is running an application that uses some of the Genie cameras, Sapera Acquisition Wizard will
fail to open.
There are two ways to solve this problem.
Using the Acquisition Wizard
1. Close all vision processing or configuration programs across the network, that use Genie
cameras.
2. Open Sapera Acquisition Wizard to create a configuration file that defines all cameras. Do
not select configuration files. Use the camera memory settings.
3. Copy this file to all systems.
4. Edit the file on each system, to enable only the cameras needed on that system. You do not
have to delete the other cameras, as long as they are disabled (ENABLE = 0).
5. Once the configuration is correct on each system, DO NOT open Sapera Acquisition Wiz-
ard again. It will attempt to access all the Genie cameras, and fail to open, or will overwrite
your working configuration file. You may want to make a copy of your corrected configura-
tion file, as a backup.
Not Using the Acquisition Wizard
1. On each system, edit the file SaperaLTDrv–Genie.ini to match the number and names of
cameras attached to each system. You can find the camera names in the Sapera Network
Status, Sapera CamExpert, or VAGenie Camera Setup. The System Name is not important.
A valid name must be entered, but the actual content is ignored. Rename the finished file
SaperaLTDrv.ini.
2. Once the configuration is correct on each system, DO NOT open Sapera Acquisition Wiz-
ard. It will attempt to access all the Genie cameras, and fail to open, or will overwrite your
working configuration file. You may want to make a copy of your corrected configuration
file, as a backup.
Changing Out Cameras
Sherlock
Sapera and Sherlock identify cameras by the Device Name or Camera Name. The best way to
swap in a new camera is to change the new camera's name to match the old camera being re-
placed.
