When you connect a new USB device with a PC or a new USB port for the first time, Windows update searches automatically online for a suitable driver. This may take some time depending on your system. |
1.Install a USB3 Vision compliant software featuring a suitable USB driver e.g. IDS peak.
2.Connect the camera to a USB3 port on the PC either directly or using USB hubs or repeaters. The camera will be recognized automatically. When the camera has been correctly installed, the camera LED lights green.
It is recommended to connect the cameras directly to the USB ports on the mainboard to get the maximum bandwidth.
When using a USB hub with external power supply the camera LED still may light green even if the data connection between the PC and the USB hub is interrupted after the camera driver was loaded completely. |
Cables
Use USB compatible data cables that allow for USB Super Speed (5Gbit/s). Be aware of the maximum cable lengths for USB.
Notes on lens mounting
Mount only lenses that are suitable for the camera. Observe the information on the maximum immersion depth for lenses.
•Mount lenses in a dust-free environment.
•When removing the protection cap, hold the camera with the front facing downward to prevent dust or particles getting into the camera.
•Mount the lens while holding the camera with the front facing downward.
•Always store the camera and lens with the protection cap mounted.
