4 DaVis Hardware Setup
The settings in the Hardware Setup dialog are entered by LaVision ap-
plication specialists during production or installation of your system. These
values should not be changed by the end user. Changing parameters may
cause a malfunction of the system.
4.0.1 Camera shutter
To be able to control the camera shutter on remote by DaVis it needs
to be added as device to the DaVis Hardware Setup dialog. Addition-
ally the camera shutter needs to be provided with trigger signals that are
synchronized to other devices, e.g. a trigger signal for the camera or a
light source for illumination. Therefore a camera shutter in a LaVision
system requires a Programmable Timing Unit (PTU) and a camera.
You can open the Hardware Setup dialog after start of the DaVis soft-
ware if you login as Expert User and click on the Setup icon.
If the camera shutter is already installed in the hardware setup you should
find a Camera Shutter card in the device list as a sub-device under the
Camera entry.
If this item is not present in the device list click on the Camera item to
highlight this and use the Add icon to select the Camera Shutter from
