Troubleshooting DALSA Coreco Sapera Devices

The Image Acquisition Toolbox software supports the use of both DALSA Coreco IFC hardware and DALSA Coreco Sapera hardware. Please see the appropriate section depending on which driver your hardware uses.

If you are having trouble using the Image Acquisition Toolbox software with a supported DALSA Coreco Sapera frame grabber, follow these troubleshooting steps:

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

   For DALSA Coreco 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.

2. 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 Grab button.

3. If your hardware is functioning properly, verify that you are using a hardware device driver that is compatible with the toolbox.

   Note   The Image Acquisition Toolbox software is compatible only with specific driver versions provided with the DALSA Coreco 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 Coreco Sapera Devices.

   • Verify that the version is compatible with the Image Acquisition Toolbox software. For the correct driver information, check the list of supported drivers on the Image Acquisition Toolbox product page at the MathWorks Web site (www.mathworks.com/products/imaq).

   If you discover that you are using an unsupported driver version, visit the DALSA Coreco Web site (www.imaging.com) to download the correct driver.
