Using Linea SWIR GigE with the Sapera API Linea SWIR GigE Series Camera

About the User-Defined Camera Name
The Linea SWIR GigE camera can be programmed with a user-defined name to aid identifying
multiple cameras connected to the network. For instance, on an inspection system with four
cameras, the first camera might be labeled “top view”, the second “left view”, the third “right view”
and the last one “bottom view”. The Factory Default User Name is the camera serial number for
quick initial identification.
Note: The factory programmed camera serial number and MAC address are not user changeable.
When using CamExpert, multiple Linea SWIR GigE cameras on the network are seen as different
"Linea-SWIR-GigE-xxx” devices. Non Teledyne DALSA cameras are labeled as “GigEVision Device”.

An imaging application uses any one of these attributes to identify a camera: its IP address, MAC
address, serial number or User Name. Some important considerations are listed below.
• Do not use the camera's IP address as identification (unless it is a persistent IP) because it can
change with each power cycle.
• A MAC address is unique to each camera therefore the control application is limited to the vision
system with that unique camera if it uses the camera's MAC address.
• The User Name can be freely programmed to represent the camera usage. This scheme is
recommended for an application to identify cameras. In this case, the vision system can be
duplicated any number of times with cameras identified by their function, not their serial
numbers or MAC address.
