I've changed the pickoff setup from yesterday for the GigE cameras to include a 33% beam splitter (first one I could find). The reflection is going to the GC650 (CCD camera) while the transimission is going to the GC750 CMOS camera. This means the CMOS camera has roughly twice the light incident as the GC650 and should be kept in mind in all comparisons. The distances from the beam splitter are approximately the same both cameras, but some more accurate positioning might be useful.
Its very easy to get the GC650 camera into a bad state where you need to go out and cycle the power (simply unplug and re-plug in the power supply either at the camera or outlet). If the ListCamera program doesn't see it, this is probably necessary.
Andrey added at 6.30PM: Actually the 650 camera keeps crashing constantly. Every time I attempt to capture an image, the camera fails. |
