Setup Camera Configuration

The Cam Driver is configured with two kinds of files:

  • lumiscan-cam-driver.json contains the application settings. Here you can specify configuration files for the camera you want to use.

  • <extra file name> (here as example: camera_example.json) contains the configuration of one camera. You can configure the camera-relevant parameters here.

On ctrlX OS you edit them in the ctrlX OS website, on a PC in a text editor.

The settings of the LumiScan CamDriver application are located in the lumiscan-cam-driver.json, and it is here that you should configure the general settings of the camera.
An example of such settings is shown below.

The description of the parameters mentioned above can be found in the following Table 5: Application Settings File: JSON Settings Description.

Edit the Files on a PC

On a PC the settings are files in the folder the Cam Driver reads its settings from (see Uploading Data). Open them in any text editor, preferably one that checks JSON against the schemas in the schemas folder. Restart the Cam Driver after saving.
