Configuring the host computer

i
Allied Vision GigE Vision cameras can operate on 10/100 or Gigabit speed Ethernet adapters. To reach the maximum camera frame rate, a Gigabit speed Ethernet adapter with jumbo packet support is required.
If your host computer has an available Ethernet interface, this can be used with Allied Vision GigE cameras. We recommend that your camera system uses a dedicated Ethernet interface not shared with internet or local area networks. If more interfaces are needed, or your existing Ethernet adapter is unable to operate at Gigabit Ethernet speeds, installing additional hardware may be required.
For desktop systems, install a PCI Express bus Ethernet adapter.
For laptops, use an expansion slot via a Gigabit Ethernet Express card.
Usage on mixed-use networks (with printers, internet or email, and other devices) is possible but may impact camera performance, for example, frame rate. Check with your IT administrator if required for network configuration.
Installation and hardware GigE
Compatible interface slot
Verify that there is an available and compatible interface slot on the host computer before purchasing the desired Ethernet adapter card.
Ethernet adapters
For a list of Ethernet adapters available for purchase from Allied Vision, please contact Allied Vision sales representative or your local Allied Vision distribution partner:

Modifying Ethernet adapter IP address

After initial Ethernet adapter hardware installation, connect the Ethernet adapter directly to the camera. The default configuration assigns an IP address automatically, using the Link-Local Address range of 169.254.xxx.xxx. If a DHCP server is present, this will define the address.
Users can fix the adapter address to minimize the time required for a camera to be recognized by the host application.
To connect to the camera, edit the host PC’s adapter settings and configure the following settings:
IP Address: 169.254.100.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
•Default gateway: blank
Systems that employ multiple Ethernet adapters connected to multiple cameras will also be required to fix the address of the Ethernet adapter. Each network interface card or network interface card port requires a unique IP address.
IP Address Subnet mask Default gateway
NIC 1 169.254.100.1 255.255.0.0 (blank)
NIC 2 169.254.100.2 255.255.0.0 (blank)
NIC 3 169.254.100.3 255.255.0.0 (blank)
Table 3: Configuration examples for systems that employ multiple NICs

Optimizing the Ethernet adapter

The Ethernet adapter should be adjusted to improve system performance when using a GigE Vision camera. This performance is related to minimizing CPU usage and dropped or resent packets.
Edit the Ethernet adapter driver properties according to the values in Table 4 . The names and availability of the properties listed may vary depending on adapter manufacturer and model.
26Goldeye G/CL Technical Manual V4.1.6
Installation and hardware GigE
Allied Vision GigE camera’s default factory settings configure the camera packet size to 8228. The host adapter needs to support a packet size of equal or larger size to stream from the camera.

Camera control and image viewing

Vimba with frame grabber specific viewer

Overview
Vimba offers a GenTL compatible configuration transport layer to access a GenCP compatible Camera Link camera. This transport layer offers access to all camera features and is used to setup and control a camera.
The Vimba Viewer is used as control application only. Images of the camera are grabbed via the viewer application that comes with the frame grabber software installation.
Figure 2 shows the corresponding block diagram.
Figure 2: Vimba Config TL block diagram
Adjusting the transfer speed for your frame grabber
Not all frame grabbers support the same maximum data transfer speed. The maximum bit rate supported by various frame grabbers is vastly different. Therefore, the default bit rate for use of Vimba with Camera Link is set to the minimum bit rate of 9600 bits per second.
41Goldeye G/CL Technical Manual V4.1.6
Installation and hardware CL
If your frame grabber supports a higher bit rate, it is advantageous to increase the bit rate in Vimba to the highest bit rate that the frame grabber supports.
Take note when changing the transfer speed
Always change the bit rate using Vimba. Do not try to change the bit rate from within the camera, this might cause the camera to stop working and require a restart.
The steps outlined below are applicable for Vimba, they are not applicable for any frame grabber SDK.
To increase the bit rate, follow these steps:
Step 1: Open the file VimbaCLConfigTL.xml. You find it in the VIMBA_HOME
directory, which is typically one of the following (for Vimba 2.1 - adjust the path for Vimba 2.0 accordingly).
•C:\Program Files\Allied Vision\Vimba_2.1\VimbaCLCon­figTL\bin\Win32
•C:\Program Files\Allied Vision\Vimba_2.1\VimbaCLCon­figTL\bin\Win64
These XML files include the modifiable settings, by default the bit rate is denoted as follows:
<DefaultBaudRate>9600</DefaultBaudRate>
Set this number to the highest bit rate that your frame grabber sup­ports, the highest possible value is Save the file and close.
Step 2: Restart Vimba and restart the Goldeye CL.
Result: All operations requiring data exchange, especially a firmware update,
increase significantly in speed.
912600 bits per second.
Launch the applications
1. Power up the camera and wait until the Camera Link Status LED stops blinking. This indicates booting is completed.
2. Launch the Vimba Viewer application and wait for the camera to appear in the

Using a custom application

It is possible to access the Goldeye CL camera without using the Vimba configuration transport layer. In this case the custom application must open the COM port of the grabber via the clallserial.dll (or clserXXX.dll) to establish a communication channel between the host and the camera. The protocol used for communication with the camera is GenICam GenCP.
Figure 7: Custom GenCP application block diagram
Applicable standards
Two standards are applicable:
The Camera Link Specification V2.0. You can download it from the AIA website:
www.visiononline.org/vision-standards-details.cfm?type=6

Questions and answers

Is the camera getting power?
Check the Camera Link status LED underneath the CL port on the backside of the camera. If the camera is connected to power, the LED displays a steady green color.
The status LED codes for Goldeye CL cameras are described in the section Camera
Link status LED on page 164.
Installation and hardware CL
Is the camera powered, but not detected in viewer?
Is the camera connected to the correct grabber port?
If the frame grabber has two CL connectors, it should be connected to port 1.
If the frame grabber has two CL connectors, it does not necessarily mean that it is a DUAL-BASE grabber. Refer to the frame grabber manual for more information.
Has the camera been powered up and booted completely before the Vimba Viewer was started?
During the boot process the CL status LED underneath the cameras CL port
flashes with 1 Hz in green-red. After booting has been finished, the LED stays green.
Note that no Plug and Play mechanism is available with Camera Link. If a camera is attached to the frame grabber after the transport layer is loaded (during start of Vimba Viewer), the new camera will not be detected. If a camera is removed after it has been opened it can also not be detected.
Is the camera listed in viewer, but images cannot be acquired?
Compare the incoming image format of the frame grabber with the parameters set in the camera. Verify that width, height, and pixel format expected by the frame grabber are equal at the camera side.
Check if the frame grabber tap configuration is the same as the camera tap configuration (Feature
DeviceTapGeometry).

Resolution and ROI frame rates
The maximum frame rate achievable with Goldeye CL-008 models (in frames per second — fps) is determined by the ROI size. It can be calculated using the following formulas.
H ROI: horizontal resolution (width),
the formula is valid if H 128. For H always use the value rounded up to the next multiple of 8.
V ROI: vertical resolution (height),
