GV 400 Installation Version 1.3; 2020-5-14

The GV 400 supports Teledyne Imaging’s family of Genie Nano cameras and the PIC-
2592 camera for image acquisition. The Linea GigE line scan series is technically
compatible, but not recommended for this platform.
The following should be noted when matching your application camera needs to the GV
400:
1. The GV 400 has 4 camera ports.
2. Sherlock has no limit on the number of cameras supported.
3. iNspect Express “Extended” license on the GV 400 supports up to 8 cameras.
4. The GV 400 hardware design does not limit how multiple cameras are connected.
In theory, multiple cameras could be connected through Ethernet switches to each
of the GV 400 camera ports. However, in practice, the effective throughput of the
system will decrease as you add more cameras, or cameras with higher resolution
or color formatting. Consult your Teledyne Imaging representative on applications
requiring more than 4 cameras or high inspection speeds.
iNspect Express and Sherlock use different software drivers to interface to Genie Nano
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. The PIC2592 camera uses IFC in both Sherlock and iNspect Express.
Two cables are needed in the setup of each camera. The data cable (A-CAB-GE-X)
connects the camera’s Ethernet port to one of the GV 400 camera ports. The I/O cable
provides power to the camera and access to the camera’s I/O, including trigger.
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 400 vision system is supplied with 64-bit Windows 10 IoT operating system and
either iNspect Express or Sherlock vision software licensed for use. These applications
offer a suite of vision capabilities that satisfy a diverse range of automated inspection
needs. The following shows how to configure the GV 400 to work with either interface.
Refer to the respective software user manual for more information.
Note: The -03 models ship with iNspect Express licensed. The -04 models ship with
Sherlock licensed.
Getting Started
Software Directory Structure
iNspect Express, Sherlock and associated software applications are installed in various
directories on the GV 400. For reference, the following table lists the location and
association of core programs and data directories that are referenced in this manual:
Note: iNspect Express and Sherlock have a Start Menu shortcut to the User Files
directory, which includes \Drivers, \Programs and \Images. The directory
C:\ProgramData or C:\Users\Teledyne\AppData (and everything below it) is normally
hidden per Windows rules. You can change permissions and hidden folder views.

The License Manager
The software installed on the GV 400 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➔License Manager
Start➔All Programs➔Teledyne DALSA➔Sherlock➔License Manager
In this example, “System #2044499585” is the system drive and “Sapera LT Board
#9010044” is a Genie Nano Camera. Both Sherlock and iNspect Express are licensed
on the System drive. Your system may have only one of these licenses.
If the license does not reflect what you purchased, consult your Teledyne Imaging sales
representative. The license is field upgradable by entering a new string in the “Enter
License” box.

USB Installation Manual, or the PIC2592 Quick Start Guide. Note: Sherlock will fail
to run if you enable Ifc but fail to point to a valid configuration file!
9. Close and reopen Sherlock. Driver changes only take effect when Sherlock opens.
Sherlock Setup
18GV 400 Installation Version 1.3; 2020-5-14

Genie Nano cameras store their configuration settings (I/O, shutter speed, white
balance) in memory (EEPROM). iNspect Express overrides these settings according to
the solution file, whereas Sherlock loads them from the camera or a stored
configuration file during program initialization. You can change these parameters and
save them on the camera and/or a configuration file using the Sapera CamExpert utility.
This does not apply to the PIC-2592 camera. Refer to the PIC-2592 Quick Start Guide.
You can configure the camera to load either your saved settings, or the factory settings,
at power up. The preferred method is to save your settings to both the camera and a
configuration file. Sherlock can load a configuration file at startup. If multiple
configurations are needed, you can save them to different camera configuration files.
Some example configuration files are included on the GV 400.
Note: Changes to the camera settings are temporary, unless saved to the
camera memory or to a configuration file.
The Sapera CamExpert Utility
19GV 400 Installation Version 1.3; 2020-5-14

The Sapera Acquisition Wizard detects all available Genie Nano Cameras, and creates
a file “SaperaLTDrv.ini” that identifies them in Sherlock. You can enable or disable
camera ports, and select camera configuration files using this utility. Note: If a
configuration file does not match the number of cameras, the Sapera LT and Genie
drivers will not load and Sherlock will not run saved programs. Instead, Sherlock will
open a new investigation (solution) file. This does not apply to the PIC-2592 camera.
Please refer to the PIC-2592 Quick Start Guide.
The Sherlock application uses the settings stored in the camera, or in camera
configuration files. You can also use Sherlock instructions to change Gain, Exposure
(shutter time) or Strobe pulse width (IO:Camera:SetNumberFeature) programmatically.
When you launch the wizard you will see the dialog below. All cameras connected to the
GV 400 should be listed in the device window. Click the “save” button to store the
configuration in the SaperaLTDrv.ini file.
The example below shows one Genie camera. This example is already set up to use
the Genie camera configuration file located in the default location for Sapera LT.
