You have only to buy one SDK-AcapLib2, then you can use it on all PC.

1-4 What does "Registration" mean?

SDK-AcapLib2 is protected by software.
You have to finish "Registration" for unprotect.



You need Product Key which is included in SDK-AcapLib2 to finish "Registration" .

1-5 When I attempt to call AcapOpen function, I receive "Registration is not done".

Your SDK-AcapLib2 is not done registration.



Lunch "AvdRegistToo.exe" in following folder.

[Install Folder]-[AVALDATA]-[SDK-AcapLib2]-[Tool]-[Registration]

1-6 The error occurs when AcapSetBufferAddress function registers prepared buffer for DMA transfer.

There are some possibilities to cause error.
*You might register prepared buffer with invalid memory address.
*You must register the address above prepared buffer as 16-byte aligned memory.
*AcapGetLastErrorCode function occurs error in case of following situation,
then Error code "0xF107(Failed to reserve memory)" is stored to Error information structure.
*The address of prepared buffer is "NULL".
*Input size disagreement between initial file and prepared buffer.
*Bit width disagreement between initial file and prepared buffer.
<8bit> _aligned_malloc( x * y * sizeof(char), 16 );
<10・12bit> _aligned_malloc( x * y * sizeof(short), 16 );
<24・32bit> _aligned_malloc( x * y * sizeof(long), 16 );

1-7 What is "ACL_INTR_LINE"?

When AcapGetFrameNo function is executed during image input, transferred line number of current inputting frame is stored at 4th argument "npLine".
"ACL_INTR_LINE" specifies interval for renewal line number, which is finished transport.

If you change "ACL_INTR_LINE" value to 64, value of "npLine" will be increased by 64 every time whenever frame-grabber finish to transfer "64 lines".
"npLine" retains "64" during "64 lines" to "127 lines", and retains "128" during "128 lines" to "191 lines".
If "ACL_INTR_LINE" value is small, DMA performance might be decreased.
Especially for APX-3313, if you change "ACL_INTR_LINE" value to less than 32, image corruption might occur.

1-8 Why does the error occur when I register many buffers?

Image data is transfered to prepared buffer by DMA transfer.
When you register prepared buffer, SDK-AcapLib2 create descriptor for DMA transer.
If you register prepared buffer more than limit of descriptor memory, SDK-AcapLib2 cause error.
Descriptor memory defaults 16MByte.
The larger values below, the larger descriptor memory is consumed.
* One line byte size of inputting image.
* Number of lines of inputting image.
* Number of prepared buffer.
You can register more buffer, if you increase descriptor memory.

* How to change memory size of descriptor for DMA transfer
1. Change inf file parameter.
　[apx331x_AddReg] *apx331x means name of frame-grabber
　HKR, "Parameters", "DmaDescSize", %REG_DWORD%, 0x01000000
To change parameter above, it can change memory size when it is installed. If you use Windows Vista 64bit, you must create ".cat file".
Because it can't be installed if there is a difference of file organization when ".cat file" is created.
You can not create ".cat file" by yourself, so please contact to us.

2. Change registry value below (need to restart PC)
　The value of [DmaDescSize] of [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\apx331*\Parameter]
Create [.reg] script, and change value of [DmaDescSize] before install. If you use Windows Vista 64bit, UAC will be launched. You can invalid it by administrative privileges.
* The risk to change memory size of descriptor for DMA transfer.
Kernel memory that is used for descriptor for DMA transfer need a finite resource which can affect other drivers.
If you enlarge it too much, you will fail to allocate memory and you can't launch the drivers.
(Exclamation mark will appear on Device Manager.)

* This problem occurs on SDK-AcapLib2 Version 5.0.0 or older versions.
This problem is fixed on Version 6.0.0, so you don't need to mind this problem if you use Version 6.0.0 or later versions.

1-9 Does SDK-AcapLib2 support power management features(Hibernation, Sleep mode)?

No. SDK-AcapLib2 doesn't support power management features(Hibernation, Sleep mode).

So refer to source of console samples, when you design application.
[Install Folder]-[AVALDATA]-[SDK-AcapLib2]-[Sample]-[SimpleApplication]

2-5 Can AcapLib2Viewer.exe save images acquired by itself?

AcapLib2Viewer.exe can save acquired images as bmp/jpeg/gif/tiff/png format.

2-6 Why aren't my settings reflected in cameras?

2-7 The error of timeout occur on AcapLib2Viewer.exe.

"Timeout" occur, if following message box appears after executing capture.

　 　
　　　　　　APX-3312　　　　　　　　　　　　　APX-3313　　　　　　　　　　　　　　APX-3318

　 　
　　　　　　APX-3311　　　　　　　　　　　　　APX-3662　　　　　　　　　　　　　　APX-3302


　　　　　　APX-3323

"Timeout" means that it fails stop capturing for any reason, even though you execute capture.
The following shows mainly reasons.

* Camera output size < Frame-grabber input size
　-> Confirm camera output size, then adjust frame-grabber input size.
* "Timeout" value is too short to complete capturing.
　-> Set "Timeout" parameter equal to 1 frame capturing time or more.
* You set external trigger mode, but you don't input external trigger.
　-> Input external trigger or disable external trigger mode.
* Camera is set to exposure mode which needs camera control signal from frame-grabber.
　-> Change frame-grabber's parameter, "CC Cycle" and "Exposure", to any value except 0.
　-> Confirm frame-grabber's parameter "Exposure Polarity".
* You set encoder mode, but don't input encoder signal.
　-> Input encoder signal or disable encoder signal mode.
　-> If you set external trigger for encoder, input external trigger or disable this mode.
　-> Confirm whether direction of rotation of encoder(CW,CCW) coincide with frame-grabber's parameter or not.

2-8 What do "Exposure" and "Cycle" mean?

"Exposure" means output width of exposure signal(CC) from frame-grabber and "Cycle" means output cycle.




"Exposure" must be smaller than "Cycle".
Many types of cameras have function that use CC signal as exposure signal.
CC signal's effect depends on camera's specification.

4-16 What exactly feature does GPOUT have?

"GPOUT" has three outputting signals below, but you can use only one outputting signal.

1. Strobe Signals
Outputs strobe controlling pulse.
You can use "GPOUT" as a strobe output,
if strobe output is enabled by AcapSetStrobe function or "ACL_STROBE_EN".
For more information, refer to "AcapSetStrobe" in "SDK-AcapLib2 Library Manual(J2OM080156*)_e.pdf".
Please note that if you enable this function, you can't use "Capture Flag" and "General Output".

2. Capture Flag
You must disable "Strobe Signals" before use "Capture Flag".
Then set "ACL_GPOUT_SEL" as "0".
"Capture Flag" is signal that shows whether board is capturing status.
　* High : Idle
　* Low : Capturing (fixed to negative)
When "Capture Flag" returns "Capturing", the frame-grabber is counting "Y Size" internally that like figure below.

　　　
3. General Output
You must disable "Strobe Signals" before use "General Output".
Then, set "ACL_GPOUT_SEL" as "1".
Next, set signal status user freely by "ACL_GPOUT_POL".
"ACL_GPOUT_POL" equal to "0" means "Low", "1" means "High".


APX-3311 has eight pins for "General Output" and also has four pins for "Strobe Signal" separately.
For information about output pin, refer to "CBL-Z102" which is the bracket cable for APX-3311.
-> 4-15 What kind of bracket cables for frame-grabber's expansion connector do you provide?
For information about how to control, refer to "ACL_GPOUT_POL" in "SDK-AcapLib2 Library Manual(J2OM080156*)_e.pdf".

4-17 What is "External trigger"?

"External trigger" means trigger pulse which is inputted externally to frame-grabbers.
"External trigger" is used for starting capture or starting encoder.
There are some difference about number of pin or bracket cable model by frame-grabber model.
We provide bracket cables for each frame-grabber models.
For more information about bracket cables, refer to chapter "4-15".
-> 4-15 What kind of bracket cables for frame-grabber's expansion connector do you provide?

* Please beware that TTL external trigger input is sensitive to noise.

4-18 Can I choose polarity of External trigger?

No. External trigger is falling detection only.

4-19 What do "Chatter time" and "Delay time" of External trigger mean?

"Chatter time" means that keeps waveform as external trigger.
Since externaltrigger is "falling" detection, it must keep status as "Chatter time",
which set both Low and High period, at part that change to Low period from High period.

If "Delay time" is set, it detects as external trigger in these state,
and also able to delay recognizing as "Delay time".



Also when it detects trigger in mistake by any reasons as noises in keeping Low period,
it needs to keep Low period again.

5-1 What should I do to set parameters to cameras?

To set camera parameter, you use serial communication.
You have to install "Virtual COM" at first to communicate cameras by serial communication.
　→ 3-2 What is "Virtual COM"?
For information about camera command or camera communication tool, refer to camera manual.

6-1 What is "PoCL"?

Power over camera link(PoCL) is a standard by the AIA.
PoCL provides power to the camera over the camera link cable.
Therefore, you don't need external power supply.

* Don't provide power by PoCL and external power supply at the same time.
　If your camera can be provided power by both ways.
　You must use only one way to provide power.


APX-3313 and APX-3311 don't support PoCL.


APX-3311 doesn't support PoCL, but it supports PoCL-Lite.
→ 7-2 Does frame-grabbers support PoCL-Lite cameras?

6-2 What should I do to use PoCL?

It is able to control power supply only when setting of PoCL jumper (CN3 or CN4) on board
which is corresponding to specified channel is ON.
"CN3" is for channel1(CAM1). "CN4" is for channel2(CAM2).



PoCL jumper on frame-grabber factory setting is OFF.
If you use PoCL cameras, change jumper setting to ON.

ON : Frame-grabber supplies power to PoCL camera. OFF : Frame-grabber does not supply power to PoCL camera.

ON : Frame-grabber supplies power to PoCL camera. OFF : Frame-grabber does not supply power to PoCL camera.

ON : Frame-grabber supplies power to PoCL camera. OFF : Frame-grabber does not supply power to PoCL camera.

6-3 Turn on power to the PoCL cameras is automatic?

Frame-grabbers provide power supply automatically to PoCL cameras when Windows starts.
If you disconnect the PoCL cable while Windows is running,
frame-grabbers don't begin to provide power supply automatically.
To begin to supply power, use "AcapSetInfo" function.

AcapSetInfo( hDevice, CAM_CH, ACL_POWER_SUPPLY, 3000, 1 );

6-4 How can I distinguish whether the cameras or cables are for PoCL or not?

You may be able to distinguish by model number.
For more information, please query to manufacturer.

6-5 Does frame-grabbers support connecting with PoCL cameras and non-PoCL cameras simultaneously?

Yes. If you connect PoCL camera, you must change jumper pin setting.
→ 6-2 What should I do to use PoCL?

No. These frame-grabbers can connect with one camera.


No. These frame-grabbers aren't for PoCL.

7-1 What is "PoCL-Lite"?

PoCL-Lite standard redefines the PoCL standard using just 14 pins.
Because of this, PoCL-Lite standard cable can be more thin and flexible than PoCL standard cable.
Instead of that, PoCL-Lite standard camera's resolution is limited to 8 and 10 bit.

7-2 Does frame-grabbers support PoCL-Lite cameras?

Yes. APX-3311 can connect with up to 4 PoCL-Lite cameras.
