CamExpert Quick Start
Interfacing Cameras with CamExpert
CamExpert is the camera interfacing tool for frame grabber boards supported by the Sapera library.
CamExpert generates the Sapera camera configuration file (yourcamera.ccf) based on timing and control
parameters entered. For backward compatibility with previous versions of Sapera, CamExpert also reads
and writes the *.cca and *.cvi camera parameter files.
Every Sapera demo program starts by a dialog window to select a camera configuration file. Even when
using the X64 Xcelera-CL PX4 with common video signals, a camera file is required. Therefore
CamExpert is typically the first Sapera application run after an installation. Obviously existing .ccf files
can be copied to the new installation when similar cameras are used.
CamExpert Example with a Monochrome Camera
The image below shows CamExpert with the X64 Xcelera-CL PX4 Full. The camera outputs
monochrome 8-bit video on a Camera Link interface. After selecting the camera model, the timing
parameters are displayed and the user can test by clicking on Grab. Descriptions of the CamExpert
windows follows the image.
