The Image Acquisition Toolbox™ software supports the use of DALSA^® Sapera hardware.

If you are having trouble using the Image Acquisition Toolbox software with a supported DALSA Sapera frame grabber, try the following:

1. Install the Image Acquisition Toolbox Support Package for DALSA Sapera Hardware.

   Starting with version R2014a, each adaptor is available separately through MATLAB^® Add-Ons. See Image Acquisition Support Packages for Hardware Adaptors for information about installing the adaptors.

2. Install the third-party hardware device driver separately and verify that it is compatible with Image Acquisition Toolbox. For the correct driver information, check the list of supported drivers for your MATLAB release under Third-Party Requirements on Teledyne DALSA Support from Image Acquisition Toolbox.

   Note

   Image Acquisition Toolbox is compatible only with specific driver versions provided with the DALSA Sapera hardware and is not guaranteed to work with any other versions.

   Find out the driver version you are using on your system. To learn how to get this information, see Determining the Driver Version for DALSA Sapera Devices.

   If you discover that you are using an unsupported driver version, visit the Teledyne DALSA website to download the correct driver.

3. Use the imaqhwinfo function to verify if 'dalsa' is listed.

   In the example shown, the DALSA and WinVideo adaptors are present, meaning the DALSA and OS Generic Video Interface support packages are installed.

4. Verify that you have a supported frame grabber. See a list of supported frame grabbers on Teledyne DALSA Support from Image Acquisition Toolbox.

5. Verify that your image acquisition hardware is functioning properly.

   For DALSA Sapera devices, run the application that came with your hardware, the Sapera CamExpert, and verify that you can view a live video stream from your camera.

   If you are using a camera file to configure the device, verify that the toolbox can locate your camera file. Make sure that your camera appears in the Camera list in the Sapera CamExpert. To test the camera, select the camera in the list, and click the button.

6. Make sure no other application is using the camera.

New Features

- Added support for Wow64
- Added support for Windows 8 32-bit
- External Trigger source can know be set to 'Software Trigger' in order for the board to ignore any physical trigger applied to the board.
- Added support for Acq Status CORACQ_VAL_SIGNAL_PIXEL_CLK_1_PRESENT, CORACQ_VAL_SIGNAL_PIXEL_CLK_2_PRESENT, CORACQ_VAL_SIGNAL_PIXEL_CLK_3_PRESENT, CORACQ_VAL_SIGNAL_PIXEL_CLK_ALL_PRESENT

Fixes:

- Installation Error if installing with Sapera 5.xx.
- Fixed BSOD that would occur with Sapera 7.0 and below when using 64-bit demos/applications that uses Scatter-Gather buffers instead of Scatter-Gather/Physical buffers.
- When using a dual camera configuration, possibility of events being turned off when creating an Xfer handle on one camera while grabbing with the other one.
- Driver will now detect disconnect/connect of 2nd Camera Link cable when applicable. The Pixel Clock Present/Absent event/status will reflect the combination of all required pixel clocks based on the Camera Link Configuration selected.
- 3-Tap parallel with Medium configuration is now available. Feature was lost since driver 1.50.
- Fixed support for time stamp in msec. It would return values in usec.
- Buffer host PC time stamp would be ' 0' except for 1st frame of a sequence when EXT_TRIGGER_FRAME_COUNT > 1.
- Random buffer host PC time stamp = 0 when grabbing from dual channel camera.
- Improved prevention of BSOD upon reset of the board that can occur in some computers. Solution needs SaperaLT 7.40 and up.
- Windows 8 hybrid shutdown in combination with adding/removing board(s) in between reboots can cause boards not to be mapped properly on some PCs. If this is the case, a restart of the PC will be requested by TDALSA Device Manager.
- Under Windows 8, driver will not create tiles anymore and will create a proper Application group containing the driver's tools and documentation.
- Strobe Output would be pulled low before being set to tri-state when disabling the output causing possible glitch if strobe is set to active low.

About Device Driver:

If you install this package, your device will be properly recognized by compatible systems, and might even benefit from new features or various bug fixes.
Please note that, even though other operating systems might also be compatible, we do not recommend you apply any software on platforms other than the specified ones. Doing so might cause the installation to crash, which could even render the device unusable.
When it comes to installing the package, the steps should not be much of a hassle because each manufacturer tries to make them as easy as possible; usually, you must make check for compatibility, get the package, run the available setup, and follow the instructions displayed on-screen.
However, due to the large number of devices out there and the various ways for applying these packages, it would be best if you refer to the installation manual first, to be sure of a successful update.
That being said, click the download button, and apply the present software on your product. Also constantly check with our website to stay up to speed with latest releases.

Teledyne Dalsa Camera Software

It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.
Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
