3.11.1 Discovery Procedure
Often times multiple frame grabbers and cameras may be installed into a
computer at the same time. The CamConfig utility provides an intelligent,
automated method of ‘discovering’ these components and allowing the user
to select the one that he is interested in using. When the CamConfig utility is
run, it will search the system32 folder for all files which match the
clser***.dll naming convention ( per the Camera link specification ). For
each file that it finds, it will open the .DLL and determine how many ports
the .DLL supports. It will then communicate with each port and attempt to
query the attached camera ( if any ). If it finds an attached Imperx camera,
it will read the ‘camera type’ information from the camera. It will then
display a list box, which includes all DLLs, ports and cameras that it
discovered. The user can then select the DLL/port/camera, that he is
interested in using, by highlighting the entry and clicking on the ‘OK’
button. Clicking on the ‘Rescan Ports’ button causes the above discovery
procedure to be repeated.
