•
InterfaceLibrary: This is the name of the serial dynamic link library 'clser*.dll' of your
framegrabber. If the library is not located in the installation folder of the configuration tool, the
whole directory path must be specified.
•
MinPortId: This is the lowest supported CameraLink
™
port (tap) identifier; see the framegrabber
manual.
•
MaxPortId: This is the highest supported CameraLink
™
port (tap) identifier, see the framegrabber
manual.
•
Description: This is a freely chosen descriptor of the framegrabber used for identification
purposes in the LuxWare configuration tool.
Example (CameraLink
™
framegrabber MVtitan-CL made by Matrix Vision):
[GenericCameraLinkDevice]
InterfaceLibrary=clsermv.dll
MinPortId=0
MaxPortId=1
Description=MVTitan_CL
Using software-supported framegrabbers on the serial COM port of the
LOGLUX

i5 CL camera
For a very safe and very fast communication between the host system (PC/IPC) and camera, the
serial COM port of the LOGLUX

i5 CL camera is recommended to be used. However, it is a
prerequisite that the CameraLink
™
framegrabber is supported by the LuxWare configuration tool.
An additional 9-pole null modem cable (RS-232 port of the split adapter cable) is here required to
connect the camera to a vacant RS-232 (COM) port of the host system (PC/IPC).
Furthermore, the INI file 'LuxConfig.ini', which is found in the same directory as the configuration
software, needs to be modified as follows (with a simple text editor), and the following lines have to be
added:
[PortMapping]
<Grabber>Tap<Id>=<COM-Port>
Explanation:
•
Grabber stands for one of the supported framegrabbers.
•
Tap<Id> stands for the used framegrabber CameraLink
™
port (on the MVtitan-CL of Fa. Matrix
Vision this is, for example, '0' or '1').
•
COM port stands for the used RS-232 (COM) port of the host system (PC/IPC).
Example (CameraLink
™
port 1 of the MVtitan-CL is 'mapped' with the COM1 port):
