HARDWARE INSTALLATION

Prerequisites
The host computer must have at least one PCIe 3.0 x4 slot available on
the main board.
When using Power over CoaXPress (PoCXP), make sure that the power
supply of your computer provides a female 6-pin PCIe power connector.
If none is available, get an appropriate adapter.
If you are not using PoCXP, you need an external power supply.
Make sure that you have a C-mount lens and the accessories listed
under Additional Accessories and Software to hand.
Step 1: Installing the Interface Card
1. Make sure that the host computer is shut down and unplugged from the
power outlet.
2. Remove the cover of the computer.
3. Plug the interface card into a free PCIe 3.0 x4 slot of the computer.
4. If you want to power the camera via the interface card (PoCXP), the
interface card needs to be connected to the power supply of the
computer.
Plug the female power supply connector of the computer to the power
connector of the interface card (PCIe 6-pin). If your computer doesn’t
provide a matching power supply connector, use an appropriate adapter.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
5. Put the case of the computer back together.
Step 2: Installing the Camera
1. Make sure that the camera is disconnected from any power supply.
Contamination Hazard: Dust on the sensor may impair the camera’s
performance.
Make sure that the camera is pointing down during the next installation
steps.
2. Remove the seal from the camera front.
3. Attach the C-mount to the camera using the four mounting screws
(M2.5x6).
Note: If you want to use multiple interface cards in the same computer,
make sure that you have one PCIe 3.0 x4 slot per card on the main board
of that computer.
Use an adequate ventilation system within your computer and leave
sufficient free space between your interface card and other cards, if you
use any.

Damage Hazard: Inserting the lens too far into the camera may damage
the sensor.
When carrying out the next step, make sure not to insert the lens any
deeper than 15 mm.
4. Attach a C-mount lens to your camera.
5. Provide sufficient heat dissipation, e.g., by attaching two heat sinks to
the camera using the mounting screws (M4x12) provided.
Step 3: Providing Camera Power
1. If you are using PoCXP:
Plug one end of the CoaXPress cable into the Micro-BNC (HD-BNC)
connector of the camera and plug the other end of the CoaXPress cable
into the Micro-BNC connector of the interface card.
NOTICE
Note: The camera can be powered via PoCXP or via the I/O connector
using an external power supply (AUX power).
If you power your camera by both the CoaXPress interface and the
I/O connector, the power provided by the I/O connector is used only.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
2. If you are using an external power supply:
a. Plug one end of the CoaXPress cable into the Micro-BNC (HD-BNC)
connector of the camera and plug the other end of the CoaXPress
cable into the Micro-BNC port of the interface card.
b. Connect the plug of the power I/O cable to the M8 6-pin connector
of the camera.
Observe the following pin assignment.
c. Connect the open end of the power I/O cable to a power supply.
d. Plug the power supply into a power outlet.
3. Reconnect the computer to the power outlet and boot the computer.

The pylon Viewer opens.
2. Double-click your camera’s name in the Devices pane to open the
camera connection.
3. In the menu bar, click Camera > Continuous Shot.
Note: When installing the pylon Camera Software Suite, make sure to
select the CXP Camera Support feature. This will install all runtime
software, drivers, and related software tools that are required for
operating a Basler boost CXP-12 camera.
