Sherlock Configuration Files
If you are using Sherlock 7, use the Sapera Acquisition Wizard to configure Sherlock.
1. With Sherlock closed
click on the desktop Icon for Sapera acquisition wizard, or click on:
Start>Programs>Dalsa Industrial Products>Sherlock> Sapera Acquisition Wizard.
2. Click “OK” if you get a message stating the configuration file does not match the hardware.
3. Make sure all cameras listed have “Enable” set to TRUE. (see Figure 43). The default state
is only one camera enabled.
You should enable and select the camera configuration file you created, to force those settings in
the camera each time Sherlock is loaded. This is preferable if you are opening and closing other
programs. iNspect and Camera Configurator force their own default settings on the camera.
4. Click the “Save File” button and close the Sapera Acquisition Wizard.
NOTE Cameras are listed in the order they were powered on and detected by the Net-
work Vision software.
Changing the Camera Order
The cameras will be ordered in Sherlock, in the same order as they appear in the Sapera Acquisi-
tion Wizard. If the order is not to your liking, there are two ways you can correct this.
a. Exit the wizard, disconnect the cameras, and reconnect them in the order you desire. Use
the SHOW Status Dialog Box to monitor when the cameras are recognized. Open the
Sapera Acquisition Wizard and create a new file following the steps above.
b. Save the configuration file from the Acquisition Wizard, and Exit. You can edit the Saper-
aLTDrv.ini file (found in Sherlock\Drivers) using Notepad or Wordpad. If all cameras are
the same type, you can copy and paste the camera names in the correct order. Or, correct
the references to “Server0” and “Server1” to match the order you want your cameras to
follow. Notice that each “Server#” appears twice in the configuration file. For example,
“Server0”, “Server0_Device0”, “Server1” and “Server1_Device0”.
Each time you run Sherlock it will use the order saved in the SaperaLTDrv.ini file, that is created
by the wizard. The order does not change every time the GEVA is rebooted.
NOTE Each time you open the Sapera Acquisition Wizard, the order will change to the
order of discovery (or power-on order). If you Click “Save File” the new order
will overwrite the saved one, causing the order to change in Sherlock.
