ACTIVECAPTURE - INTRODUCTION
ActiveCapture is the frontend software
for Active Silicon FireBird frame grabbers.
It is a GenICam GenTL program that
can be used with cameras supporting
GenICam, such as CoaXPress, and
Camera Link ones using CLProtocol, but
it can also be used with non-GenICam
Camera Link cameras. Additionally,
Note: The above refers to Windows. For the location of utilities and documentation for other operating systems refer to the specific Quickstart Guide.
Note: <xx> represents the camera interface, e.g. CXP or CL.

it provides access to utility functions
including the firmware updater.
Run the program from the Start Menu
under Active Silicon FireBird <xx> –
ActiveCapture.
With CoaXPress cameras, no manual
setup of the camera or frame grabber is
needed to get a picture – simply connect
and click the Live button.
With Camera Link GenICam cameras, the
GenTL CL Setup Utility must first be run
(see page 9), but once that is done,
again simply connect and click the Live
button.
With non-GenICam Camera Link
cameras, the frame grabber needs to
be set up manually, using the feature
browser or a PCF configuration file (see
page 10), before a valid image can
be displayed. The camera will be listed
as "Unknown Device", because there is
no GenICam system to provide device
details.
Operation Notes:
1. When the program is opened it
attempts to communicate with the
camera(s) and download the XML
file(s) from them. This can be quite
slow, especially with Camera Link
cameras. The discovered devices
will be shown in the Device List.
Any Camera Link cameras that are
not GenICam, or GenICam ones
that have not been set up, show as
"Unknown Device" (see above).
2. Select a camera, such as "Acme
CXP_Camera" highlighted here, and
click the Connect button.
3. Click the Live button for continuous
acquistion, using the specified
number of acquistion buffers.
Click the Single Sequence button
to capture the number of images
set by the the specified number of
acquistion buffers.
4. The Tools menu gives access to
utilities such as the firmware updater
and the GenTL CL Setup Utility.
