CHAPTER 2 – CONNECTIONS, CONTROLS
AND DISPLAYS
2.1 System Installation
A Pyrocam system consists of the following:
Pyrocam camera with power supply
Gigabit Ethernet to USB 3.0 adaptor
PC computer running Windows 7 or Windows 10 (32 or 64 bit) and BeamGage
Cat6A cable
Trigger cable with TTL trigger source (for pulsed lasers only)
2.1.1 BeamGage Setup
Before connecting the Pyrocam to the PC, install the edition of BeamGage that is
supplied with the Pyrocam. Follow the instructions on the DVD jacket. BeamGage is
supplied with an electronic User Guide in multiple languages. BeamGage also has a
What’s This help feature that can be used to quickly discover what the various controls
do and how to manage the display features. If not familiar with BeamGage’s operation, it
is recommended that some time is spent learning how to use it with the Pyrocam before
applying a laser beam. Read through the BeamGage User Guide before connecting and
attempting to run the Pyrocam.
2.1.2 Connections
Either two or three connections are needed:
the Ethernet cable
the power supply
a TTL trigger source (if required)
See Figure 2.1. An external trigger source is always required when operating with a low
rep-rate pulsed laser. An external trigger is not required if the internal chopper is being
used with a CW laser.
2.1.2.1 Gigabit Ethernet
Connect the Ethernet cable between the Pyrocam and the host computer. An Ethernet
to USB 3.0 adaptor is provided if there is not an available Ethernet port on the host
computer.
