Introduction
GV 312T is a low cost vision system with an integrated touch panel interface for
configuring and monitoring automated camera inspections on the factory floor. The
product is equipped with hardware interfaces and application software to support the
following:
•Detection and maintenance of GigE cameras on the local network
•Setup and modification of inspection solutions without requiring an external PC
•Runtime monitoring of inspections (operator interface)
•Runtime tool parameter editing
•Offline solution debugging using built-in emulation
The GV 312T system utilizes a dual-core processor running the Windows 7 Embedded
operating system. As such, users have the option of developing their own custom
operator interface instead of using the pre-installed interfaces supplied with the product.

Installation
Mount the Unit (Panel Mount)
Locate the panel mounting clips included with the product. Put the clamps
into the holes located on the sides of the product as shown:

11
Installation
Attach the rubber gasket included in the mounting kit around the inside
back lip of the panel.
Place the GV 312T into the correct-sized cutout on a control panel or frame
and tightly screw the panel-mounting clamps around the edges to secure
the product.

12
Installation
Mount the Unit (VESA mount)
Some applications may require mounting the GV 312T to a VESA
compatibleARM. This requires an optional mounting bracket (A-VESA-T)
that should be purchased with the unit. Take the bracket assembly and
attach it to the back and sides of the product as shown below. Make sure
not to cover the door of the CFAST flash drive.

The GV 312T supports Teledyne DALSA Genie cameras for image acquisition. These
include the Genie series and the Genie TS series. The Spyder GigE line scan series is
not recommended for this product.
The Genie family, including the TS series, offers a range of sensor resolution from
640x480 up to 4096x3072 pixels. Resolutions up to 1600x1200 are available in both
mono and color formats. The following should be noted when matching your application
camera needs to the GV 312T:
1.Sherlock has no limit on the number of cameras supported.
2.iNspect Express “Standard” license supports up to 4 cameras.
3.iNspect Express “Extended” license supports up to 8 cameras.
4.The GV 312T hardware design does not limit how multiple cameras are connected. In
theory, multiple cameras could be connected through Ethernet switches to the GV 312T
camera port. However, in practice, the effective throughput of the system will decrease
as you add more cameras, higher resolution or color formatting. Consult with your
TeledyneDALSA representative on applications requiring more than 4 cameras or high
inspection speeds.
iNspect Express and Sherlock use different software drivers to interface GigE cameras.
iNspect Express uses a driver called IFC, whereas Sherlock uses one called Sapera LT.
The setups associated with each will be described later in the manual. Generally,
Sapera offers additional flexibility over IFC, but requires additional steps to setup.
Two cables are needed in the setup of each Genie camera. The data cable (A-CAB-GE-
X) connects the camera’s Ethernet port to one of the GV 312T camera ports. The I/O
cable provides power to the camera and access to the camera’s I/O, including trigger.
When using the PL-USB module (Genie camera breakout module), the standard GEVA
cable should be used (A-CAB-GEVA-FX). This method offers more flexibility and
greater I/O control. If you are not using the PL-USB breakout module, the standard
Genie trigger cable can be used (A-CAB-GTP-X). Choice of one over the other is
application dependent.
Note: By default, iNspect Express and Sherlock assume Genie camera Input2 is the
trigger input and Genie camera Output2 is the strobe output.

Software Interface
The GV 312T vision system is supplied with either iNspect Express or Sherlock vision
software installed. These applications offers a suite of vision capabilities that satisfy a
diverse range of automated inspection needs. The following shows how to configure the
GV 312T to work with either interface. Refer to the respective software user manual for
more information.
Getting Started
Software Directory Structure
iNspect Express, Sherlock and associated software applications are installed in various
directories on the GV 312T. For reference, the following table lists the location and
association of core programs and data directories that are referenced in this manual:
NOTE: Both iNspect Express and Sherlock have a Start Menu shortcut to the User
Files directory. The C:\Users\Teledyne\AppData directory (and everything below it) is
normally hidden per Windows rules.

Software Interface
The License Manager
The software installed on the GV 312T is license protected. The license is applied to the
unit system number before it ships from the factory. Make sure that the product license
matches what you ordered before going any further. Open the license manager from the
“start menu” as follows:
Start->All Programs->Teledyne DALSA->iNspect Express for VA->License Manager OR
Start->All Programs->Teledyne DALSA->Sherlock->License Manager
If the license does not reflect what you purchased, consult your Teledyne DALSAsales
representative. The license is field upgradable by entering a new string in the box
above.

Follow these steps to configure the system to run iNspect Express:
1. Connect cameras as shown in the hardware installation
2. Verify a valid license is installed (run License Manager)
3. Open the Camera and Language Selector Program (from shortcut) and configure
preferences; Select “GigE” in the camera menu.
4. Click on the iDiscover button to detect and configure cameras connected to the
system
5. Save Camera set (select which connected cameras you want to use)
6. Close iDiscover and launch iNspect Express (run panel shown below)

This program is a front-end configuration tool for iNspect Express. Launch from the icon
on the GV 312T desktop. Select the language, camera type (always GigE for GV 312T)
and custom features for your application.These features are peculiar to the iNspect
Express software and are detailed in the software users manual.
From the camera selector tool you can launch both iDiscover and iNspect Express as
shown below. To launch the emulator simply select the “Virtual (DEMO) Camera”.

The iDiscover utility is provided for discovering Genie cameras connected to the GV
312T camera port. Use the iDiscover interface to change the camera IP settings to
match the IP setting of the camera port. A shortcut to the iDiscover program is available
on the GV 312T desktop.
Click on one of the detected cameras to populate the associated network configuration
on the right. You can then modify the camera IP address to match the camera port IP
segment at the top. Click the “Apply” button to save changes. Note: Conflicting IP
addresses will be designated by a red camera icon in the detected camera menu.
Select cameras to use in your iNspect Express configuration by clicking and moving
them to the left panel using the arrow buttons. You can change the camera order by
using the up/down arrow buttons on the left control bar. Save the corrected camera list.
Note: For Sherlock applications, iDiscover is only used to detect and correct IP
conflicts. Clicking the “Save Camera Set” has no effect in Sherlock.
