3 Configuring the TM-4200GE Camera

The configuration of the GigE camera consists of two parts:

The imager configuration (CCD and control circuits)

The internal frame grabber configuration

The imager can be configured for partial scan, binning, and so on, just like a Camera Link camera. The internal frame grabber is automatically configured for the pixel type, windowing, image size, I/O and so on, by the GigE camera software.

3.1 Setup

If you have a peer-to-peer connection between the TM-4200GE camera and your PC without network switches, your packet size can be the default value (8128 bytes) as shown in Figure 7. However, if you are connecting the TM-4200GE to your PC through a network switch, then you need to know the maximum packet size that your network switch supports. Typically, if your switch supports jumbo packets, then you should keep the packet size to 8128 bytes. If your switch does not support jumbo packets, then you may need to change the packet size to 1440 bytes.

Note: If you connect the camera through a network switch, you may need to modify the packet size.
