Genie Software Package Installation
The Genie software package installation provides all components required (Sapera run-time) to control
the Genie with the supplied CamExpert tool. Genie software components include the Network Imaging
driver, the Sapera GigE server, and CamExpert (if Sapera LT library is not installed).
If Sapera application development is required, install Sapera (6.0 or later) as described in the previous
section.
Procedure
• Insert the DALSA Genie CD-ROM. If AUTORUN is enabled on your computer, the Genie
installation menu is presented.
• If AUTORUN is not enabled, use Windows Explorer and browse to the root directory of the CD-
ROM. Execute launch.exe to start the installation menu and install the Genie software
components.
• Click to install the Genie Software Framework which includes the Network Imaging driver, and
the Sapera GigE server.
• The procedure will prompt for acceptance of the installation folder for the Genie files.
• If desired, click to install Sapera LT run-time which includes CamExpert. Follow the on screen
prompts and reboot when the installation is complete.
GigE Server Verification
After a successful Genie software package installation, the GigE Server icon is visible in the desktop
taskbar tray area. The Genie camera must be on the same subnet as the NIC to be recognized by the
GigE Server. With no Genie connected the icon has a red X through it.
If you place your mouse cursor on this icon, the GigE Server will display the number of GigE Vision
devices found by your PC. Left clicking on this icon will provide you with options about the status of
those devices. See "
Running the Network Configuration Tool" on page 24 for more information.
