Inspect/Ilabel - Vision VA61 User's Reference Manual

VA6x User's Reference
1. You can find the old camera name in the SaperaLTDrv.ini file.
2. You can change the new camera's name using VAGenie Camera Setup, CamExpert, or the
Sapera Network Vision Configuration Tool.
3. DO NOT use the Sapera Acquisition Wizard to create a new configuration file. A new Sys-
tem Name will be assigned and will cause Sherlock to view the new camera as a different
camera.

iNspect/iLabel

iNspect and iLabel use the IP Address to order cameras if there is no custom configuration file. If
you created a custom configuration file, iNspect and iLabel identify cameras by Serial Number.
1. Use the VAGenie Camera Setup program to assign a compatible IP Address, as previously
described at the beginning of this Appendix. Or you can manually assign the same IP Ad-
dress as the camera you are replacing (if you know the IP address).
2. If you have cameras connected directly to the Camera ports on the VA61, the IP Address
should sort them correctly. Notice the order of the "Gige" ports in the left panel. If the order
is not correct, you need to create a custom configuration. (If you previously created a cus-
tom configuration file, you should repeat the process, and overwrite the older file.) You can
edit the file in Wordpad, or save a new file from the Camera Configurator.
3. In the Configurator, right-click on a "Board #" to change the order, or to delete an unwanted
camera. Correct the tree so you have only the cameras controlled by this appliance, and they
are in the correct order.
4. Pull down the File menu and select "Generate Portable Config File". Navigate to the D:iN-
spect\CameraFiles directory and save your configuration as "GEVCustom". Click "Yes" to
overwrite the previous file. The "GEV" prefix is needed to make the file appear in the Cam-
era and Language selector under the GigE camera group.
5. Close the VAGenie Camera Setup utility.
6. Open the Camera and Language Selector utility. Under the GigE camera group, select "Cus-
tom".
Alternatively, you can examine the file GEVtest.txt file, copying the camera information and
editing it for the Serial Numbers of your cameras. iNspect uses the copy of GEVtest.txt found in
the \iNspect directory. The original of the GEVtest.txt file is in the CameraFiles directory. This
file shows the information used by iNspect and iLabel. The Configurator creates a file with much
more general camera information, designed for use with frame grabbers and the IFC–SDK Li-
brary.
