7. Configuring the Camera

All configuration of the CV-L105 camera is done via the RS-232C port, which is factory setting. Binning and pixel rate settings can also be controlled by TTL signals into the interface connector or internal jumpers. From the factory, the camera will start up with the factory default.

The factory setting is as follows:

Clock	30 MHz
Binning	2048 (Off)
Trigger	Internal
Mode	Scan
Scan time	32.350 msec
RGB gain and offset	To 3100K color balance (by internal potentiometers)

The factory settings cannot be changed by user.

There are 4 user defined configurations, which can be programmed by RS-232C and used as initial default settings.

JAI provides a comprehensive software configuration tool, to configure the different functions of the camera.

The CV-L105 Camera Control Tool for Windows 98/NT/2000 can be downloaded from www.jai.com (For not released versions only from JAI Partner Site).

The control tool contents a camera control program and tools for making your own program. The program has a help function, which describes functions, and make it easy to use.

For the integrator and experienced user, the Camera Control Tool is much more than a program with a window interface- It also provides an easy and efficient ActiveX interface built for MS Windows 98, ME, NT and 2000. The OCX interface has the ability to connect to the camera using the serial interface of the PC by reading and writing properties for the camera. This integration requires simple programming skills within Visual Basic, Visual C++ or similar languages in a Microsoft Windows environment.
