Camera Firmware

Teledyne DALSA Falcon4-CLHS camera firmware contains open-source software provided under

different open-source software licenses. More information about these open-source licenses can be

found in the documentation that accompanies the firmware, which is available on the Teledyne

DALSA website at www.teledynedalsa.com.

Firmware updates are available for download from the Teledyne DALSA web site

www.teledynedalsa.com/imaging/support/downloads.

When using Sapera LT, update the camera firmware using CamExpert (see Updating Firmware via

File Access in CamExpert). The firmware can also be easily upgraded within your own application

via the API. The camera has a failsafe scheme which prevents unrecoverable camera errors even in

the case of a power interruption.

Hardware and Software Environments

The following describes suggested hardware and supported software for successful imaging

systems using the Falcon4-CLHS.

Mounting

The camera requires a mounting platform which includes camera heatsinking. Thermal

management and heat dissipation is mandatory to ensure the camera remains within the stated

operating temperature specification. See section Mechanical Specifications with M42 Mount for the

location of the camera mounting screw holes.

Frame Grabbers and Cabling

A Teledyne DALSA frame grabber, such as the Xtium2-CLHS PX8, is recommended for error free

acquisitions with the Falcon4 camera (contact sales for additional information).

See Cable Manufacturers Contact Information for contact information for information on CLHS CX4

cable suppliers and various I/O assemblies for your imaging solution.
