Installation of Camera Control Tool “3SensorTool” and initial settings of the camera
2.1 Power the PC ON.
2.2 Create a new folder such as BVC6100LM.
2.3 Copy the exe file, ”3Sensor_Tool.exe” and the initial setting file, ”BVC6100.ini”
to the folder ”BVC6100LM”.
2.4 Power the camera ON and start up ”3Sensor_Tool.exe”.
※ The power is ON, and after the LED turns to “Green”, then start up the
3 Sensor Control Tool.
2.5 The following screen for Port and Baud rate settings will be displayed.
Select the com port which is set in the frame grabber board.
And set the baud rate. The default setting is 115200.
2.6 After setting, click ”OK”.
2.7 Then the following window will be opened. The default setting of the camera will be
loaded.
2.8 It is ready to capture the image. Start up the frame capture board and start to grab the
image.
Important: The camera control tool “3Sensor_Tool.exe” and its initial
setting file “BVC6100.ini” must save in the same folder such
as “BVC6100LM”.

1.General
The BVC6100LM is a four COMS line sensor(7µm and 4096 pixels) camera using a prism optics to disperse
to R,G,B and IR. The BVC6100LM has the line rate of 18030 lines per a second , rugged and compact
housing, M52 lens mount and CameraLink® Base configuration. It also employs Lens aberration
compensation circuit, Shading compensation circuit etc.

Note 1．The applicable cable length of the mentioned cable assembly is from 1m to 10m.
Note 2．If the cable is not compliant with CameraLink specifications, the cable length to
communicate is restricted.
CAUTION:
In case that the frame grabber board to be used with the camera employs a mini camera link connector,
it is needed to pay attention about the direction of the connector.
The side of the connector to indicate “CAMERA” should be connected to the camera. Refer to a picture
shown below. If the direction of the connector is reversed, the bit error noise might be appeared on
the picture.
Also
In case of DAUL for Base Configuration, it may not connect physically due to the position of connector at frame grabber
board side.
