Page 1 TM-4200GE Software TM-4200GE Software Operation Manual 1 Software Introduction 1.1 Scope of the Document This manual describes how to access and use features of the JAI Gigabit Ethernet camera, the TM- 4200GE. The camera’s different operation modes are described in the hardware section of this manual, which begins on page 31. The TM-4200GE series consists of the TM-4200GE (monochrome) and the TMC-4200GE (color). Unless otherwise noted, all information contained in this manual is relevan

Page 2 TM-4200GE Software Note: Refer to the section on time-outs and packets in the Cam2Net User’s Manual for more information on packet sizes for point-to-point and networked applications. Communication with a GigE camera is completely transparent to the user, so if you are used to working with Camera Link® and/or the JAI Cam2Net adapter, you will find it very easy to migrate. The TM-4200GE camera has internal frame memory, which sends only the actual image data using the Gigabit Ethernet i

Change and Remove Buttons 1.4.4 Quick-Start Use the following quick-start process when the Camera Interface Application is installed on your PC. 1. Connect the camera. The Hirose pin layout is shown in Table 1 on page 6. Both the Hirose and the network cable (RJ-45) are illustrated in Figure 6. Verify that both LED’s on the RJ-45 connector are green. 2. Run the Camera Interface Application.

Click on the Configure button at the bottom of the Coyote screen, and open the GigE Camera Soft- ware dialog box. This is your integrated control software. Note: The color version (TMC-4200GE) requires that color interpolation be performed in the frame grabber or by using the host computer’s CPU. In default mode, the camera supports 2 x 2 color interpolatio

Page 6 TM-4200GE Software 2 Connectors The camera has two sockets, as shown in Figure 6 below: • 12-pin Hirose for power, trigger, RS-232 communication and TTL I/O. • RJ-45 for Gigabit Ethernet. FIGURE 6. TM-4200GE Back Panel Connectors GigE POWER These connectors are described in Section 2.1 and Section 2.2. 2.1 Power and Signals Connector The GE camera receives power and signal through a 12-pin Hirose connector. Table 1 lists the pin layout and describes the function of each pin. The table

Page 8 TM-4200GE Software 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-pee
