Chapter 1: Before you begin
This chapter describes the features of your Matrox Iris GTX,
lists the various smart camera models available, describes
the software required to develop your imaging applications,
outlines documentation conventions, provides an overview
of this manual, and specifies where to find further support.

8 Chapter 1: Before you begin
Introduction
Matrox Iris GTX combines the integration of a conventional smart camera with
the flexibility of a traditional PC-based machine vision system. Matrox Iris GTX
is a fully programmable device, allowing extensive customization. Matrox
Iris GTX comes pre-installed with the Matrox Design Assistant runtime
environment.
Matrox Design Assistant is an intuitive, flowchart-based, integrated development
environment (IDE). System integrators and professional end-users can easily and
quickly develop and deploy machine vision applications on a highly integrated
platform without the need for traditional programming skills. The integrated
development environment provides access to a comprehensive set of
highly-efficient and field-proven image analysis and measurement tools.
Matrox Iris GTX features an Intel-architecture processor, and uses a global shutter
CMOS image sensor from a range of monochrome and color options. The CMOS
image sensor allows the exposure phase of a triggered grab to occur while the
previous image is being transferred. The Intel-architecture processor is an Intel
Atom x6211E processor. The 32-Gbyte eMMC (flash disk) provides in-camera
(on-board) storage for both the operating system and additional data. 4 Gbytes
of LPDDR4x SDRAM provides in-camera (on-board) volatile storage.
Matrox Iris GTX is fully integrated in an IP67 enclosure, eliminating the need to
separately source a sealed camera housing, while still providing easy access to the
lens.

Introduction 9
Matrox Iris GTX can connect to a display device through the VGA/USB
connector and it can communicate with other devices through the Gigabit
Ethernet network interface (100/1000 BaseT) and digital auxiliary I/O signals.
An advanced I/O engine is included to allow you to communicate and coordinate
events using the auxiliary I/O signals (for example, to trigger and set the duration
of the exposure).
The network interface can be used for general purpose, Gigabit network
communication, or for communication with external devices using the
PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, CCLink, or Modbus industrial protocols. For
PROFINET communication on the network interface, Matrox Iris GTX provides
a PROFINET engine with a hardware-assisted PROFINET interface. The
hardware-assisted interface supports a minimum I/O cycle time of 1 msec.
Models available
There are ten models available in the Matrox Iris GTX family of products.
Color versions of this smart camera utilize a sensor with a Bayer color filter but
store the images in BGR32 packed format, by default.

on the production floor.
Handling
precautions
The lens of Matrox Iris GTX is a sensitive device. It should never be touched
directly. Always cover the lens if the smart camera is not in use to reduce dust
buildup. If dust accumulates on the lens, use either a can of compressed air or a
lens cloth to remove the dust.

Software overview
The Matrox Iris GTX with Design Assistant is distributed with Matrox Design
Assistant, a flowchart-based, integrated development environment (IDE). It
allows you to create an imaging application without writing a single line of code.
Application development is a step-by-step approach, where each step is taken from
an existing toolbox and is configured through a series of dialog windows. Matrox
Design Assistant runs on your development computer and uses the resources of
your Matrox Iris GTX smart camera (for example, to grab an image and
communicate with connected devices) to build projects. Once the project is built,
it runs on your Matrox Iris GTX without relying on the resources of your
development computer.
With Matrox Design Assistant, you can:
• Create your project as a series of steps using a flowchart.
• Test your project from your computer without any additional code editors or
compilers and without deploying (copying and running) your project on your
Matrox Iris GTX.
• Design and layout a web page (operator view) to receive operator input and to
display your project's output.

14 Chapter 1: Before you begin
• Run, terminate, and re-run the project on your Matrox Iris GTX from within
Matrox Design Assistant.
Imaging projects can:
• Grab images from your Matrox Iris GTX or use images from disk.
• Analyze images using several industry-proven image analysis and measurement
tools (for example, code reader and Geometric Model Finder tools).
• Send and receive user-defined signals from the Digital I/O and power connector
of your Matrox Iris GTX.
• Send and receive information and save images across the network using TCP/IP,
Modbus, CCLink, EtherNet/IP, and PROFINET protocols.
Documentation conventions
Your Matrox Iris GTX is a network-aware device. The terminology used
throughout this document mirrors that of local area networks (LANs).
In this document, any computer that can communicate with your Matrox
Iris GTX is referred to as “your computer”. If you use your computer to develop
your applications for your Matrox Iris GTX, it is referred to as your development
computer.
The procedure to select a menu item from a submenu uses a simplified format.
For example, the following procedure:
will be replaced by:
Select the Edit menu item from the main menu, and then select the Copy
menu command from the presented submenu.
Select the Edit Copy menu item.

This chapter guides you through powering your Matrox
Iris GTX, connecting it to another device, and reading the
LEDs.

18 Chapter 2: Powering and connecting to your Matrox Iris GTX
Powering and connecting to your
Matrox Iris GTX
The Matrox Iris GTX has the following interfaces (from left to right):
•Digital I/O and power connector. Used to receive power from an external power
source. The connector can also receive trigger input and send/receive digital
auxiliary I/O signals to/from third-party I/O devices. In addition, the connector
has a specialized analog intensity (dimming) control signal intended to be used
with a lighting device (such as, an Advanced Illumination inline control system
(ICS3), a Smart Vision Lights Brick light, or a similar device).
•VGA/USB connector. Provides connectivity between your Matrox Iris GTX and
a display device and/or a USB device (such as a keyboard or a mouse).
•100/1000 BaseT Ethernet connector. Provides connectivity between your
Matrox Iris GTX and your computer or your network. Matrox Iris GTX can gain
access to a LAN via Gbit Ethernet (GigE, 1G BaseT, or 1000BaseT), fast Ethernet
(100BaseT), or twisted pair Ethernet (10BaseT). This interface can also be used
for communication with external devices using the PROFINET, EtherNet I/P,
CCLink, or Modbus protocol. For PROFINET, the interface operates as a
hardware-assisted PROFINET interface. The LAN connection associated with
the hardware-assisted PROFINET interface can be shared with other traffic.

•Liquid lens connector (not depicted). Used to provide automatic focusing of your
Varioptic Caspian C-39N0-160-I2C or C-39N0-250-I2C lens.
To use your Matrox Iris GTX, perform the following:
1. Connect an external power supply and your third-party I/O devices to the Digital
I/O and power connector of your Matrox Iris GTX using the provided cable.
If you have purchased the Matrox Iris GTX starter kit use the open-ended digital
I/O and power cable and Matrox I/O Breakout Box, included in the kit, to make
the connections.
If you have purchased Matrox I/O Breakout Box separately, you can make your
own cable. Alternatively, you can use the M12-CBL-PWR/3 open-wire digital I/O
and power cable from Matrox; however, you must use a custom cable to connect
it to a power supply. For more information regarding the pin-out of your Matrox
Iris GTX power and I/O connector, refer to the Digital I/O and power connector
