Installing the camera
Installing the camera driver
During the Vimba X installation, select at least camera demonstration and
Vimba X applications to operate Alvium USB cameras. If the camera is not
recognized or to subsequently change an assigned driver, follow the instructions:
1. Connect your Alvium USB camera to the computer using a USB 3.0 or 3.1
Type-A to Micro-B cable.
2. Start Vimba X Driver Installer and open the USB3 Vision Cameras tab.
The Driver Source is not installed, yet.
If other USB3 Vision devices are installed, another USB3 Vision driver may be
assigned to your camera.
3. Click the Alvium USB camera entry.
The current Vimba X driver is offered as a popup (Vimba 3.0.0 in the example).
4. Open Install driver > USB3 Vision Camera and click the driver popup.
5. Click Apply to install the Vimba X driver for the camera.
Connecting the camera to a USB 2.0 port
If the Alvium USB camera is connected to a USB 2.0 port, the Vimba X driver can
be installed and the camera can be configured and operated. But for full
performance, the camera must be connected to a USB 3.0 or 3.1 Gen 1 port.
Command line driver installer
Vimba X also provides a command line driver installer. For more information about
the Vimba X Driver Installer, see the manual, included in the Vimba X download.
