Itala | INSTRUCTION MANUAL
In the device info tab is shown some essential information about the device currently selected in
the discovery panel. This includes the device model, serial number, MAC address and current IP
address.
In the device control tab you can select the desired access mode and the number of buffers you
want to allocate for image grabbing.
The video streaming view allows you to control the acquisition process and see the actual images
grabbed by the camera.
On the top of the panel there are some quick access buttons to start/stop the acquisition, save
images and toggle the full-screen mode.
On the bottom there’s a status bar with statistics about the acquisition and useful information
about the current image.
Using the image data analysis and logging tabs you can see the application log, current image
chunk data and perform different types of analysis on the acquired image.
Through the GenICam feature tree you can access the camera parameters. The features are
grouped by functions in a hierarchical manner and allow to configure the camera peripherals
and/or read their status. These include basic functions, like the exposure time, gain or trigger set-
tings and more advanced ones, like the encoder or the liquid lens controller.
You can use the tabs below the tree view to switch between the node maps of both GenTL modules
and the connected device (selected by default).
4.7.2 IP configurator
From the Tools menu you can access the IP Configurator utility. The IP configurator has been de-
signed to efficiently address network configuration issues of Itala cameras, including but not re-
stricted to:
• Camera and NIC set with persistent IPs but different subnets
• Camera and NIC set with persistent IPs but different subnet masks
• Camera set in DHCP mode and NIC set with a persistent IP
• Camera set with a persistent IP and NIC set in DHCP mode
As can be seen in Fig.15, the IP configurator presents a panel for device discovery and enumeration
similar to the one of the viewer main window. On the right relevant NIC and camera information
related to the currently selected device in the aformentioned discovery panel can be seen.
IP configuration issues can be solved from the settings panel in the lower right corner. For example
camera can be forces to adopt a persistent IP coherent with the current NIC IP settings. Just input
the correct data and click the Apply button. In the log panel the configuration progress and check
that the settings has been correctly applied can be seen.
As in the viewer main window, the icon next to each enumerated device show potential issues with
a red warning sign.
For more information about the IP configuration of the camera refer to section 4.3.3.
