2 Handling Precautions and Camera Care

Your FLIR machine vision camera is a precisely manufactured device and should be handled with care. Here are some

tips on how to care for the device.

nAvoid electrostatic charging.

nWhen handling the camera unit, avoid touching the lenses. Fingerprints will affect the quality of the image

produced by the device.

nTo clean the lenses, use a standard camera lens cleaning kit or a clean dry cotton cloth. Do not apply excessive

force.

nExtended exposure to bright sunlight, rain, dusty environments, etc. may cause problems with the electronics

and the optics of the system.

nAvoid excessive shaking, dropping or any kind of mishandling of the device.

3.2 Installing Your Interface Card and Software

1. Install your Interface Card

Ensure the card is installed per the manufacturer's instructions.

Connect the internal IDE or SATApower connector on the card to the computer power supply.

Alternatively, use your PC's built-in host controller, if equipped.

Open the Windows Device Manager. Ensure the card is properly installed. USB3 cards appear under Universal Serial

Bus Controllers. An exclamation point (!) next to the card indicates the driver has not yet been installed.

2. Install the Spinnaker® Software

Note: For existing users who already have Spinnaker installed, we

recommend ensuring you have the latest version for optimal

performance of your camera. If you do not need to install

Spinnaker, use SpinView to install and enable drivers for your card.

a. Go to theSpinnaker SDK page.

b. Click the Download button.

c. Select your operating system.

d. Select your version. You can also read release notes here.

nPython

nFull SDK - downloads all components

nWeb Installer - downloads only the installer and then retrieves components based on your selection

during install. This version requires an internet connection for the installation.

e. Select your version. On the preview page, click Download.

f. After download is complete, open the file to start the Spinnaker setup wizard.

g. Follow the steps in each setup dialog.

3.3 Installing Your Firefly

1. Install the Tripod Mounting Bracket (optional)

The ASA and ISO-compliant tripod mounting bracket attaches to the camera using the included screws.

2. Attach a Lens

Unscrew the dust cap from the lens holder to install a lens.

3. Connect the interface Card and Cable to the Camera

Plug the interface cable into the host controller card and the camera. The cable jack screws can be

used for a secure connection.

When the camera is first connected, the operating system automatically installs the camera driver. Camera drivers are

available with the Spinnaker SDK installation.

4. Plug in the GPIO connector if required

GPIOcan be used for power, trigger, serial input output, and strobe.

5. Confirm Successful Installation

Run the SpinView application: Start->All Programs-> Point Grey Spinnaker->SpinView

The SpinView application can be used to test the camera's image acquisition capabilities.

Changes to your camera's installation configuration can be made using the SpinView application.

3.4 Powering Your Firefly

Power can also be provided externally through the GPIO interface: 12 V nominal (8 - 24 V). Power consumption is 3W

maximum.

If both power sources are connected the camera always uses external power over the GPIO connector.

Note: Some systems, especially those with laptop computers or

longer cable lengths, may not provide adequate power through the

USB3 cable which could result in intermittent operation. The use of

external power through the GPIOis required for these systems.

3 Firefly Installation

The camera does not transmit images for the first 100 ms after power-up. The auto-exposure and auto-white balance

algorithms do not run while the camera is powered down. It may therefore take several images to get a satisfactory

image.

When the camera is power cycled (power disengaged then re-engaged), the camera reverts to its default factory

settings, or if applicable, a saved user set.
