The Matrox Iris GT with Design Assistant combines the integration of a conventional smart camera with the flexibility of a traditional PC-based machine vision system. Matrox Iris GT is a fully programmable device, allowing extensive customization. In addition, this powerful smart camera comes with an intuitive, flowchart-based, integrated development environment (IDE) called Matrox Design Assistant. Systems integrators and professional end-users can easily and quickly develop and deploy machine vision applications on a highly integrated platform without the need for traditional programming skills. The integrated development environment provides access to a comprehensive set of highly-efficient and field-proven image analysis and measurement tools. Matrox Iris GT features an Intel-architecture processor and Microsoft Windows Embedded CE, a real-time operating system. Matrox Iris GT uses an interline transfer, progressive scan, CCD image sensor with square pixels. The sensor provides an externally triggered electronic shutter.
The Intel-architecture processor is an Intel Atom 1.6 GHz processor with an Intel SCH companion interface bridge. The 1-Gbyte flash disk provides in-camera (on-board) storage for both the operating system and additional data. The 256-Mbytes of DDR2 memory provides in-camera (on-board) volatile storage.

The Matrox Iris GT starter kit includes the following:
Matrox Iris GT comes with the Matrox Iris portal website installed. The Matrox Iris portal website consists of a series of pages through which you can configure your Matrox Iris GT, find other smart cameras on your network, update the firmware, manage Matrox Design Assistant projects, and handle licensing information. The Matrox Iris GT with Design Assistant package is also distributed with Matrox Design Assistant, a flowchart-based, Windows program that integrates a development environment for Matrox Iris GT smart cameras. It allows you to create an imaging application without writing a single line of code. Application development is visually a step-by-step approach, where each step is taken from an existing toolbox and is configured through a series of dialog windows. Matrox Design Assistant runs on your development computer and uses the resources of your Matrox Iris GT smart camera (for example, to grab an image and communicate with connected devices) to build projects. Once the project is built, it runs on your Matrox Iris GT without relying on the resources of your development computer.
With Matrox Design Assistant, you can: Create your project as a series of steps using a flowchart. Test your project from your computer without any additional code editors or compilers and without deploying (copying and running) your project on your Matrox Iris GT. Design and layout a web page (operator view) to receive operator input and to display your project's output. Run, terminate, and re-run the project on your Matrox Iris GT from within Matrox Design Assistant. Imaging projects can: Grab images from your Matrox Iris GT or use images from disk. Analyze images using several industry-proven image analysis and measurement tools (for example, code reader and geometric model finder tools). Send and receive user-defined signals from the I/O port of your Matrox Iris GT. Send and receive information from the serial port of your Matrox Iris GT. Send and receive information and save images across the network using TCP/IP, Modbus, or Ethernet/IP protocols.

This chapter details how to configure your Matrox Iris GT if it is connected to a network. If your Matrox Iris GT is directly connected to your computer, refer to Chapter 4: Configuring your Matrox Iris GT to work with your computer directly.
Matrox Iris GT
Matrox Iris GT connected to a network

The amount of configuration required to connect your Matrox Iris GT to a network depends on whether your network uses automatically assigned IP addresses from a DHCP server, or uses static IP addresses. Matrox Iris GT is factory-configured to receive an IP address from a DHCP server on your network. If your Matrox Iris GT is still in its factory-configured state, and your network uses a DHCP server, no configuration should be required to use your Matrox Iris GT on your network.
To determine whether your network uses a static IP address or DHCP, check the configuration of your computer by performing the following: 1. Open the Windows Control Panel and double-click on the Network Connections icon. The Network Connections dialog box opens.
If you have more than one active Local area connection, or an active wireless connection, you might experience a problem with Matrox Design Assistant connecting to your Matrox Iris GT. If this occurs, refer to the Appendix I: Troubleshooting.

To configure your Matrox Iris GT to work with a network that uses DHCP, start by verifying that the default settings of your Matrox Iris GT have not changed. Your Matrox Iris GT is configured to use DHCP by default. Check the LEDs of your Matrox Iris GT. If the power and user LEDs are both green, your Matrox Iris GT is configured for DHCP. You should be able to access the camera by name, using Internet Explorer:
http://IrisName
If, however, the power LED is green and the user LED is off, your Matrox Iris GT uses a static IP address. In this case, you will need to configure your Matrox Iris GT to use DHCP; to do so, proceed to the next subsection.
To configure your Matrox Iris GT so that it will obtain an IP address automatically (that is, use DHCP), use the Matrox IrisBootParams utility, and perform the following:
The Matrox IrisBootParams utility opens.
4. Enter the MAC address of your Matrox Iris GT in the MAC Address text box. Note that the MAC address is written on a sticker attached to your Matrox Iris GT. 5. Click on the Load button. The network settings currently in use are displayed on-screen. 6. Select the DHCP option. 7. Click on the Save button. 8. Close the Matrox IrisBootParams utility. 9. Disconnect the power supply from your Matrox Iris GT. 10. Disconnect your computer from your Matrox Iris GT, and connect your computer to your network.

23
11. Connect your Matrox Iris GT to your network. 12. Reconnect the power supply to your Matrox Iris GT and wait. The power LED and the user LED of your Matrox Iris GT should turn green. This indicates that your Matrox Iris GT is now using an automatically assigned IP address and is ready to communicate with your network.
On a network that uses DHCP, each Matrox Iris GT must have a unique name on the network. By default, Matrox Iris GT automatically uses a unique network name:
IRIS999999
The last six digits of your Matrox Iris GTs MAC address are used as the alphanumeric part of the network name. This ensures that each Matrox Iris GT has a unique network name. Both the network name of your Matrox Iris GT and its MAC address are written on stickers on your Matrox Iris GT. This automatic name can be used instead of an IP address when you try to access your Matrox Iris GT.
To add your Matrox Iris GT to a network using static IP addresses, perform the following: 1. Contact your network administrator for a unique IP address for your Matrox Iris GT and to determine the subnet mask for your network. Most networks have IP addresses all on the same subnet. 2. Disconnect your computer from your network. 3. Plug your Matrox Iris GT 100/1000 BaseT cable directly to your computer. 4. On your computer, launch the Matrox IrisBootParams utility. From the Matrox Imaging submenu of the Windows Start menu, select Design Assistant X.X for Iris GT, where X.X represents the current release number.

This chapter guides you through the process of configuring your Matrox Iris GT if it is directly connected to your computer (in a peer-to-peer configuration). If you have connected your Matrox Iris GT to your network, refer to Chapter 3: Configuring your Matrox Iris GT to work on a network. Your Matrox Iris GT is factory-configured to receive an IP address from a DHCP server on your network. If your Matrox Iris GT is directly connected to your computer and you do not change your Matrox Iris GT from using DHCP, you incur a significant delay (5 minutes) every time your Matrox Iris GT reboots. This is because your Matrox Iris GT tries to connect to a DHCP server (and fails) before trying to use its backup auto IP address. To avoid this 5 minute process every time your Matrox Iris GT is rebooted, it is strongly recommended that both your Matrox Iris GT and your computer be configured to use a static IP address.

To access the Matrox Iris portal website, open Microsoft Internet Explorer and go to the following address:
http://IrisName
The home page of the Matrox Iris portal website is displayed.
The View utility page of the Matrox Iris portal website provides a view utility to view the image being grabbed. You can focus and examine the view of the smart camera from a distance with the View utility page. Many simultaneous connections to the View utility page are possible, but the total amount of bandwidth available to Matrox Iris GT is limited and will be shared by all active connections (for example, if two or more computers view the same image simultaneously, the available bandwidth is divided evenly, providing the maximum possible bandwidth to each computer). Note that the largest amount of bandwidth is consumed when the zoom is set to 1. Matrox Iris GT sends only what is needed to keep the amount of bandwidth used as low as possible. If the zoom is less than or greater than 1, the amount of bandwidth consumed decreases. On the first use of the View utility page, Microsoft Internet Explorer will try to download and install an ActiveX display support tool from Matrox Iris GT. Once downloaded and installed, you can select a display and view the image grabbed from your Matrox Iris GT. Note to install anything in Microsoft Windows Vista, you must be logged into the computer with a user account that has administration privileges.

Note that the remote agent display (RemoteAgent.exe) will not have access to the grabbed image unless it is the only display in the list. Selecting it while a Matrox Design Assistant project is listed will result in an error. One display is added to the List of displays list for each display element that you have in your projects operator view. 4. Click on the Set display button. The screen will refresh automatically and, when it does, the image should appear.
Panning and zooming can be control through the Matrox Iris portal websites View utility page. The panning and zooming controls are a set of web buttons that allow zooming in and out, and panning up, left, right, and down.
Each Matrox Iris GT has a web server. Through a web session, you can browse to the web pages stored on your Matrox Iris GT. The web server allows you to access the Matrox Iris portal website and the operator view of your Matrox Design Assistant project. All HTTP activity is saved in a file on the Matrox Iris GT flash disk. You can access the file through the Administration Review HTTP page of the Matrox Iris portal website.
Each Matrox Iris GT has a file server, which allows you to navigate the folders of your Matrox Iris GT using Microsoft Windows Explorer, as well as create network-shared folders.
The following shared folders are available on your Matrox Iris GT: \UserDisk. This folder contains all the projects deployed to your Matrox Iris GT, including sample images and calibration files.
Note that you should periodically backup all files that are in the \UserDisk folder using the IrisBackup utility. For more information, refer to IrisBackup utility section, in Appendix G: Matrox Iris GT utilities.
\CEDisk. This folder contains the Matrox Iris GT utilities and the Matrox Iris portal website. Note that you should not need to access this folder using Microsoft Windows Explorer (via file access). \RAMFiles. This folder contains execution logs and error log files. Files in the \RAMFiles folder are lost when you power down your Matrox Iris GT. Copy any new files in the \RAMFiles folder to the \CEDisk or \UserDisk folders before powering down your Matrox Iris GT. Note that the \CEDisk, \UserDisk, and \RAMFiles folders are visible through the file server by default.
With file server access, you can logically map shared folders on your Matrox Iris GT as drives on your computers file system. Mapping drives also allows easy access of files through applications running on your computer. The easiest way to access frequently accessed folders on your Matrox Iris GT is to either map a network drive to one of the folders of your Matrox Iris GT or create a shortcut.

To access files and folders on your computer from your Matrox Iris GT, create a network-shared folder on your own computer. Your Matrox Design Assistant project and the IrisBackup utility save files to your network-shared folder, and the FullResuce utilities fetches files from your network-shared folder. For more information regarding the IrisBackup and FullRescue utilities, refer to Appendix G: Matrox Iris GT utilities. For your Matrox Design Assistant project to access your network-shared folder, configure and save the login credentials on the LAN connections page, accessible from the Administration page of the Matrox Iris portal website.
Each Matrox Iris GT has a telnet server. The telnet server allows you to access the command prompt of Matrox Iris GT remotely. With Matrox Design Assistant to develop and deploy projects, you will not use telnet unless using Matrox Iris GT utilities (such as the IrisBackup and FullResecue utilities described in Appendix G: Matrox Iris GT utilities) or if performing operations at the request of technical support. Through a telnet server, you can manually start processes, run batch files, and execute commands. Error messages (for example, MIL error messages) are redirected to a telnet console, along with printf statements from applications running remotely, over the telnet session. Telnet allows command line utilities to be used.
By default, Microsoft Windows Vista does not include the telnet client, while Microsoft Windows XP does. To install the telnet client, perform the following. Note that to install anything in Microsoft Windows Vista, you must be logged on to the computer with a user account that has administration privileges. 1. Open the Windows Control Panel and click on the Classic view link in the sidebar. 2. Select the Administrative Tools utility. The Programs and features pane opens inside the Control Panel window. 3. Select Local Security Policy from the list of options provided. The Local Security Policy dialog box opens. 4. Select Turn Windows features on or off from the Task sidebar. The Windows features dialog box opens. 5. Select the telnet client option and click on the OK button. A dialog box appears, confirming the installation of new features.
To access Matrox Iris GT using a telnet application, open a command prompt (DOS box) and type the following at the command prompt:
telnet IrisName
By default, telnet is enabled on the Matrox Iris portal website. You can enable or disable your Matrox Iris GT telnet server through the Telnet / FTP server settings page of the Matrox Iris portal website.

Appendix A: Glossary
Auto IP. Automatic IP. Auto IP is a client-side service that assigns a dynamic IP address that, by default, might change each time your computer (and/or your Matrox Iris GT) reboots. Auto IP is used when your Matrox Iris GT is configured to get its IP address automatically from a DHCP server, and either there is no DHCP server present or the DHCP server is not responding. Auto IP is a service of a DHCP client. Auxiliary signal. An auxiliary signal is a user-defined I/O signal that can have one or more additional functions. For example, a signal that can be both an exposure signal and a user-defined input signal, is an auxiliary signal. The signals primary function is displayed in brackets (for example, AUX(EXP) is used to denote an auxiliary signal that is typically used to control an exposure). DHCP. Dynamic host configuration protocol. DHCP is a protocol that requires a client and a server. Your computer and Matrox Iris GT are DHCP clients. A DHCP server serves DHCP client requests on a network and automatically assigns each DHCP client a unique dynamic IP address. DHCP works with a DNS server to associate a computers name with its IP address so that, to connect to the computer, you can use its name instead of its IP address. Netbios over TCP/IP (an older client-side technology) can provide the name association whenever a DNS server is not present on a LAN.
DNS. Domain name service. DNS provides the association between a given IP address and the name of the computer using that IP address. The association between an IP address and a computers name is stored in a DNS resolver cache, located on the computer that requested the association. Without a DHCP server, if the IP

Note that if a DHCP server is not available, the Auto IP service of a DHCP client can assign your computer a unique dynamic IP address within a given subnet.

address of a computer changes, the DNS cache on all the computers using the computers name must be cleared to re-establish the association. Note that with a DHCP server, DNS is managed by a DNS server and not by the client. Domain. Computers connected in a network that uses DHCP and other services for shared resources and communications. Dynamic IP address. A dynamic IP address is an IP address that can change. If not using a DHCP server, the Auto IP service of a DHCP client assigns a dynamic IP address that, by default, might change each time your computer (and/or your Matrox Iris GT) reboots. A DHCP server, if used, can assign an IP address to a computer for a fixed amount of time. When that time expires, the DHCP server can assign a new IP address to that computer. LAN. Local area network, also called a network. A LAN is a group of computers connected to communicate and share resources and data. In this manual, a LAN has several computers (servers) that are dedicated to serving the others (clients) in a client/server architecture. NetBios over TCP/IP. NetBios over TCP/IP is used by Microsoft Windows operating systems as a peer-to-peer networking protocol. Microsoft Windows CE uses NetBios over TCP/IP to synchronize and communicate with networked computers running a Microsoft Windows operating system. NetBios associates a computers name with its IP address so that, to connect to the computer, you can use its name instead of its IP address. This domain name service (DNS) is also provided by a DNS server when using a DHCP server. Peer-to-peer. A peer-to-peer network is a type of network in which each computer has equivalent capabilities and responsibilities. This differs from client/server architectures, in which some computers are dedicated to serving the others. In this manual, a

Public IP address. A public IP address is an IP address that can be used anywhere, including on the internet. The ranges available include everything from 1.1.1.1 to 255.255.255.255, with the exception of 127.0.0.1 (the IP address used by your computer to point to your computer) and those ranges defined as private IP addresses, above. SOAP. Simple object access protocol. An internet protocol that is used to encode information from web service requests and respond to messages before sending them over a network. Static IP address. A static IP address is an IP address that does not change. Unlike a dynamic allocation, a static allocation does not expire. Your Matrox Iris GT and your computer can both be assigned static IP addresses manually or through a fixed IP address returned by a DHCP server request.

peer-to-peer network refers to when your network is composed of only your Matrox Iris GT and your computer, and these are directly connected to each other without using another device (for example, a router). Private IP address. A private IP address is an IP address that is reserved for use on private networks. These IP addresses cannot be used on the internet. The range of private IP addresses includes the following:
Subnet. A subnet is the portion of an IP address that must be common between computers for direct communication to occur. Special hardware (routers) is required for computers on different subnets to communicate. The subnet is defined by an IP address and a subnet mask. IP addresses and subnet masks are written in dotted decimal notation (each group of numbers is separated by a period). To determine your subnet address, examine your subnet mask. For example, if an IP address of 169.254.17.26 has a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0, the subnet address would be 169.254. If an IP address of 192.168.12.34 has a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, the subnet address would be 192.168.12. Workgroup. Computers connected in a network without a DHCP server.

This appendix includes information on lens selection, an important consideration when building your application. The primary consideration during lens selection is that the focal length of the selected lens meets your applications requirements. For more information, refer to the Calculating the required focal length section.
Optical axis
Parallel light rays Focal length
To calculate the required focal length, measure the distance from the smart camera to the object, as well as the height (vertical size) and width (horizontal size) of the object.
Matrox Iris GT
Distance from object
Use the following calculations to determine the required focal length for your situation.
Vertical constant Distance from object --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Vertical size of object + Vertical constant
and
Horizontal constant Distance from object ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Horizontal size of object + Horizontal constant
By selecting the smallest focal length from the vertical and the horizontal focal length calculations, you assure that both the vertical and horizontal dimensions of your object fit within the view of your lens. The sensor chip type of your smart camera determines the horizontal and vertical constants required in the above-mentioned calculations. Each type of Matrox Iris GT smart camera uses a different sensor chip type.

For example, your Matrox Iris GT300 has a 1/3 sensor chip type (which uses a 4.8 mm horizontal constant and a 3.6 mm vertical constant). If there is a 52 mm distance between the object and the front of the lens (distance to the object) and the object is 14 mm wide (horizontal size) and 15 mm tall (vertical size), then the following calculations are used to determine the required focal length:

3.6 mm 52 mm ----------------------------------------- = 3.47 mm (rounded) 15 mm + 3.6 mm
In this example, a lens with a focal length of 3.47 mm (horizontal) is required. If the lens shipped with your Matrox Iris GT starter kit has a focal length equal to the focal length of your calculation, you have the correct lens for your situation. If the lens does not match the focal length of your calculation, you can still use it. However, if your lens has a focal length smaller than your calculation, there will be empty space around your object in the image. If your lens has a focal length greater than your calculation, part of your object might not fully fit within the image.

This appendix examines the requirements when connecting devices to the Matrox Iris GT digital I/O and power connector. For the rise and fall time, pulse width, maximum frequency, and power characteristics of the I/O signals, refer to Matrox Iris GT specifications section, in Appendix B: Technical Reference.
You can control a wide variety of external devices with the auxiliary output signals of your Matrox Iris GT, such as programmable logic controllers (PLC) and transistor-transistor logic (TTL) devices. Each of the auxiliary output signals of your Matrox Iris GT uses an open collector (sink driver); instead of transmitting a high or low voltage state, a current from a connected device is either terminated (grounded) or not. The power source must be provided by the connected device because the Matrox Iris GT output signals are not capable of providing (sourcing) voltage to drive a device. In the circuit depicted below, the connected device is terminated.
Power source +24 V max.
100 mA ouput signal Matrox Iris GT GND resettable fuse
Connected External Device
You can use a 5 V, 12 V, or 24 V power source. Each of the sink drivers of your Matrox Iris GT uses a 100 mA resettable fuse to protect it from connected external devices. The fuse protects your Matrox Iris GT if you accidentally connect to an external device that requires more than 100 mA.
When the auxiliary output signal is on, the circuit is grounded and the current flows from the connected device to your Matrox Iris GT; when the signal is off, the circuit is open.

The exact connection between your Matrox Iris GT, the connected external device, and its power source depends entirely on the type of external device to which you connect. NPN-compatible PLC devices. These devices include all forms of external devices that are programmable logic controllers with NPN transistor types. A NPN-compatible PLC device has an input that is enabled when it is grounded (sinking input). A NPN-compatible PLC device does not provide power to the connected device. PNP-compatible PLC devices. These devices include all forms of external devices that are programmable logic controllers with PNP transistor types. A PNP-compatible PLC device has an input that is enabled when it receives a voltage (sourcing input). Inductive load devices. These devices include all forms of external devices that have inductor wiring, such as a relay or small motor. Devices connected to an inductive load device require a diode to protect them from over-voltage. Over-voltage typically occurs when the inductive load device starts or when the connected device disconnects. An inductive load device does not provide power to the connected device.

Transistor-transistor logic (TTL) devices. These devices expect the connected device to provide the necessary voltage. Note that a TTL device can be used as either an input or an output device. Light controllers. These devices control illuminators to provide additional lighting upon request. Note that you can control a light controller (for example, a strobe light controller) with either Matrox Iris GT auxiliary output signal 4 or 5. To control and power an illuminator without a light controller, see the Powering and controlling a LED illuminator with the Matrox Iris GT controlled-current output section, later in this chapter.
To connect your Matrox Iris GT to a NPN-compatible PLC device, the ground of your Matrox Iris GT must be connected directly to the NPN-compatible PLC devices ground. In addition, an auxiliary output signal of your Matrox Iris GT must be connected to the devices sinking input. You should connect the ground of the NPN-compatible PLC device and the ground of your Matrox Iris GT to a common ground. The NPN-compatible PLC device provides its own power source. When the Matrox Iris GT output signal is "on" the NPN-compatible PLC device connects to the ground and completes the circuit.

NPNcompatible PLC device
To connect your Matrox Iris GT to a PNP-compatible PLC device, you must first connect an external pull-up resistor between them. The external pull-up resistor is needed because PNP-compatible PLC devices expect to be connected to a device that can provide power (a sourcing device) and your Matrox Iris GT is a sinking device. Therefore, connect an output signal of your Matrox Iris GT and the sourcing input to an external pull-up resistor. In addition, connect the ground of the PNP-compatible PLC device and the ground of your Matrox Iris GT to a common ground. The external pull-up resistor assures that when the output is disabled (off ), the external resistor will pull-up the PLC input to a positive voltage (+V). This creates an inversion, with the PLC input "on" when your Matrox Iris GT output is "off", and vice-versa.

To connect your Matrox Iris GT to an inductive load device, you must first connect a high-voltage diode between them. The diode protects your Matrox Iris GT from high voltage, caused when disconnecting from the inductive load device. You should connect the negative side of the load (anode) and a Matrox Iris GT output signal to the external diode. In addition, you should connect the positive side (cathode) of the load to a +24 V power supply. Connect the ground of the inductive load device and the ground of your Matrox Iris GT to a common ground. When the Matrox Iris GT output signal is enabled, the negative side of the load is reduced to 0 V, and 24 V appears across the circuit.

Connect an auxiliary output signal of your Matrox Iris GT and the device input to an external pull-up resistor. In addition, connect the ground of the TTL device and the ground of your Matrox Iris GT to a common ground. The external pull-up resistor assures that when the output is disabled (off ), the external resistor will pull-up the devices input to a positive voltage (+V).

You can control an illuminator with a light controller that is connected to auxiliary output signal 4 or 5 of your Matrox Iris GT. For example, you can control a strobe that is connected to a strobe light controller with these signals. Note, to connect an illuminator directly to your Matrox Iris GT, see the Powering and controlling a LED illuminator with the Matrox Iris GT controlled-current output section, later in this appendix. Connect Matrox Iris GT auxiliary output signal 4 or 5 directly to the TTL input (TTL in) of the light controller. You should connect the ground of your Matrox Iris GT and the ground of your light controller to a common ground. When the auxiliary output signal is enabled, the light controller turns on the illuminator. Matrox Iris GT auxiliary output signal 5 (AUX(STB)_OPENC_OUT5) is an unmodulated signal that can turn the light controller on and off. The duration of the signals pulse is specified by your Matrox Design Assistant project.

Unlike the auxiliary output signals, the Matrox Iris GT controlled-current output (CCS) sources the current for a LED illuminator. Matrox Iris GT allows you to control the amount of current (mA) that is transmitted when the controlled-current output is enabled (ON), allowing you to control the intensity of the LED illuminator. Matrox Iris GT can provide up to 500 mA of current. Matrox Design Assistant allows you to specify a value for the intensity, which maps to a value between 0 and 500 mA, in 256 steps. For more information, refer to the Camera step chapter in the Matrox Design Assistant User Guide. Refer to the documentation that came with your LED illuminator to learn the recommended amount of current to send. Connect your Matrox Iris GT controlled-current output directly to the LED illuminators positive current (+). Connect the ground of your Matrox Iris GT and the ground of the LED illuminator to a common ground. The LED illuminator activates when the controlled-current output is enabled (ON).

You can route each of the Matrox Iris GT auxiliary output signals to a Matrox Iris GT auxiliary input signal. This is primarily used for testing, allowing you to receive what was sent to the Matrox Iris GT auxiliary output signals. To route a Matrox Iris GT auxiliary output signal to a Matrox Iris GT auxiliary signal, perform the following: 1. Connect the power and the digital I/O signals of your Matrox Iris GT to the breakout board by following the steps in the Powering Matrox Iris GT and connecting its I/O signals to the breakout board section. 2. For each auxiliary output signal to route to an auxiliary input, switch on an output-to-input bypass switch. The output-to-input bypass switch box (SW8) has 4 switches, each one representing one of the four auxiliary input signals of your Matrox Iris GT. To route Matrox Iris GT auxiliary output signal 4 (AUX(STB)_OPENC_OUT4) to auxiliary input signal 0 (AUX(USER)_OPTO_IN0+), turn on output-to-input bypass switch 1 (SW8[1]). Repeat for each auxiliary output signal to be re-routed to a auxiliary input signal. For more information on the output-to-input bypass switch box (SW8), see the Output-to-input bypass switch box subsection of the Switch boxes section. Note that if you route auxiliary output signal 4 (AUX(STB)_OPENC_OUT4) to the first Matrox Iris GT auxiliary input signal (AUX(USER)_OPTO_IN0+), you cannot also route it to the trigger signal (TRIG_OPTO_IN+). 3. For each auxiliary output signal routed to an auxiliary input, switch on an output pull-up resistor. The output pull-up resistor switch box (SW7) has 4 switches, each one representing one of the four auxiliary output signals of your Matrox Iris GT. If routing Matrox Iris GT auxiliary output signal 4 (AUX(STB)_OPENC_OUT4) to auxiliary input signal 0 (AUX(USER)_OPTO_IN0+), turn on output pull-up resistor switch 1 (SW7[1]).

The smart camera connector is a series of 17 terminal block connectors. It connects to the digitial I/O and power connector of your Matrox Iris GT, using the open-wire digital I/O and power cable that comes with the Matrox Iris GT starter kit. Each terminal block connector receives a wire with a color corresponding to the color listed on the breakout board. This connector provides power to your Matrox Iris GT, receives Matrox Iris GT auxiliary output signals and controlled-current output (CCS), and transmits auxiliary input and trigger signals to your Matrox Iris GT.

The following is a description of the utilities available on your Matrox Iris GT.
To run the utilities installed on your Matrox Iris GT, perform the following:
b. Terminate any running project by clicking on the projects Terminate project button. c. Verify that the Select the project you want to start on Iris start-up drop-down list box is set to No project. d. Close Microsoft Internet Explorer. Before running either the FullRescue or IrisBackup utilities, create a network-shared folder on your computer. This folder must be accessibly by your Matrox Iris GT.
The IrisBackup utility captures the state of your Matrox Iris GT and saves it as a set of files to a network-shared folder. The resulting set of files can be restored to the smart camera using the FullRescue utility, described later in this appendix. Note that the IrisBackup utility backs up all files on all disks of your Matrox Iris GT, packing them into a series of files. The backup creates a folder named MatroxIrisBackup. If a folder with this name already exists, the utility prompts for permission to overwrite its contents. You can rename the folder, but do not change any of the files contained within the folder. Before running this utility, you must stop any project running on your Matrox Iris GT.
\>IrisBackup Comment SharedFolder Domain UserName Password
If you enter the command and all its parameters at the command line, you must enclose any string containing spaces in quotations. If, however, you enter only the name of the utility, you will be prompted to enter each parameter in turn without quotations.
When a required parameter (such as the user name) is not specified, the utility will prompt you for the missing information.
Comment. A brief comment to describe the contents of the backup or the reason for the backup. SharedFolder. Specifies the location to save the backup files. This location must be a network-shared folder and be accessible by the user, specified by the UserName parameter of this utility. The location specified must be entered in the following format:

The FullRescue utility rescues your Matrox Iris GT and restores it to its factory settings or restores the previous backup created using the IrisBackup utility. Note that this will remove any changes made since that point in time, and wipe the flash disk clear. Before using the FullRescue utility, backup any files added to the flash disk since the installation (or last full rescue) of your Matrox Iris GT using the IrisBackup utility. You are prompted to confirm the operation before continuing. It is essential that you dont disconnect the power until after all the lights are green and your Matrox Iris GT finishes rebooting. This can take up to 10 minutes. Prematurely powering down your Matrox Iris GT can render your smart camera inoperable.
The files used to restore your Matrox Iris GT to its factory defaults are located in the rescue folder of your Matrox Iris GT utilities CD. Note that you can move these files to any location on your network, accessible by your Matrox Iris GT, but if the files are renamed, the FullRescue utility will return an error. Note that it is strongly recommended that you save a copy of the Essential Information page of the Matrox Iris portal website as a text file, before using the FullRescue utility or upgrading the software for your Matrox Iris GT. Before running this utility, you must stop any project running on your Matrox Iris GT.
\>FullRescue [DEFSET] [QUIET] [SharedFolder] [UserName] [Password]
If you enter the command and all its parameters at the command line, you must enclose any string containing spaces in quotations. If, however, you enter only the name of the utility, you will be prompted to enter each parameter in turn without quotations. When a required parameter (such as the user name) is not specified, the utility will prompt you for the missing information. DEFSET. Specifies to retrieve the factory-configured set of boot parameters stored on your Matrox Iris GT rather than copying the provided boot parameters from the BootRom.ROM file in the specified network-shared folder. QUIET. Specifies that the FullRescue utility will run without requiring a users intervention. SharedFolder. Specifies the location that holds the rescue files, installed from the Matrox Iris GT utilities CD. This location must be a network-shared folder and be accessible by the user, specified by the UserName parameter of this utility. The location must be entered in the following format:

The FullRescue utility automatically creates a temporary LAN connection to the specified folder. For more information on connections, see the LAN Connections page, which can be accessed from the Administration utility page of the Matrox Iris portal website.
Note that if the files are stored in a subfolder of the network-shared folder (for example, \\server\share\subfolder), the path must end with a colon (:). If no colon is added, the files must be in the root of the network-shared folder (for example, \\server\share).
UserName. Specifies the user name required to access the specified network-shared folder. The format must include the name of the domain used to authenticate the user name. For example:
Domain\UserName
The user name must have a password associated with it.

Discover utility. The Matrox Discover utility page searches your LAN for Matrox Iris cameras (P-Series, E-Series, and GT) using Universal Plug and Play (UPnP). Note that, by default, your computer has universal plug and play (UPnP) disabled. The Matrox Iris portal website requires UPnP to be enabled on any computer that uses the Matrox Discover utility. Monitor process. The Monitor processes page provides a list of all the processes and their threads currently running on your Matrox Iris GT. Monitoring allows you to examine thread priorities, associating processes (.EXE files) to modules (.DLL files) and modules to threads, as well as killing processes. Review log. The Review log pages display listings in your web browser of the Matrox Iris GT logs. Each listing is a text-dump with very little formatting provided. Note that these page are useful to Matrox technical support, when trying to debug problems on your Matrox Iris GT.
The Matrox Iris portal website and the Matrox Discover utility use ActiveX components. ActiveX must be enabled on your computer. In addition, the Matrox Iris portal website must be listed in Microsoft Internet Explorer as a trusted site. Verify that the following settings under the ActiveX controls and plug-ins element are either set to enabled or enabled on prompt:

1. MATROX HARDWARE WARRANTY

1.1 UPON PURCHASE OF MATROX HARDWARE BY LICENSEE (HEREAFTER KNOW AS "PURCHASER"), MATROX WARRANTS TO THE PURCHASER THAT THE MATROX HARDWARE PURCHASED FROM MATROX OR MATROX AUTHORIZED DEALERS WILL BE FREE FROM DEFECTS IN MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP UNDER NORMAL USE FOR A PERIOD OF ONE (1) YEAR FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE. THIS WARRANTY APPLIES ONLY TO THE LICENSEE AND IS NON-TRANSFERABLE. MATROX DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE OPERATION OF THE MATROX HARDWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT THE PRODUCTS WILL MEET THE PURCHASER AND\OR LICENSEE'S REQUIREMENTS OR PERFORM WITH ANY HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE PROVIDED BY THIRD PARTIES. 1.2 Matrox's limited warranty described in section 1.1 hereto applies only to Matrox Hardware manufactured by or for Matrox. The limited warranty does not apply to any non-Matrox hardware products or any software, including, without limitation, the Software Package, even if packaged is sold with Matrox Hardware. The Software Package provided by Matrox is not covered under this limited warranty. 1.3 Matrox's limited warranty covers only those defects which arise as a result of normal use of the Matrox Hardware and does not apply to any damage which arises from: i) improper or inadequate maintenance; ii) incompatibilities due to the Licensee's hardware or software applications, including non-Matrox products, with or in which the Matrox Product interfaces; iii) Matrox Products of a special or custom-made nature; iv) unauthorized modification or misuse, including physical damage to the Matrox Product caused by the Licensee; v) improper installation, abuse, misapplication or negligence; vi) failure to follow instructions relating to the Matrox Hardware's use; vii) operation outside the Matrox Hardware's environmental specifications; viii) improper site preparation or maintenance;
xi) other causes that do not relate to a Matrox Hardware defect; xii) defects or damage suffered as a result of force majeure (including theft); 1.4 If Matrox receives from the Licensee, during the applicable warranty period, notice of a defect in the Matrox Hardware, which is subsequently confirmed by Matrox, Matrox shall at its sole option, either i) repair the defect using new or refurbished parts and return the repaired Matrox Hardware within a reasonable delay; or ii) replace the Matrox Hardware with Matrox Hardware that is new or which has been manufactured from new or serviceable used parts and is at least functionally equivalent to the original Matrox Hardware and send such replacement Matrox Hardware within a reasonable delay. 1.5 A replacement Matrox Hardware or part assumes the remaining warranty of the original Matrox Hardware. When a Matrox Product or part is replaced, any replacement item shall become the purchaser's property and the replaced item shall become Matrox's property. 1.6 This warranty is valid in any country where Matrox Hardware is distributed by Matrox or its authorized dealers. 1.7 TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE WARRANTY OUTLINED IN THIS SECTION 1 AND THE REMEDIES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, REMEDIES AND CONDITIONS. NEITHER MATROX NOR ANY OF ITS THIRD PARTY SUPPLIERS MAKES ANY OTHER WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO MATROX HARDWARE. MATROX SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS (AND THE PURCHASER, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, SPECIFICALLY ACCEPTS SUCH DISCLAIMER AND WAIVES) ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR OR INTENDED PURPOSE OR USE AND THE WARRANTY AGAINST LATENT DEFECTS, WITH RESPECT TO THE MATROX HARDWARE. MATROX FURTHER DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY THAT THE MATROX HARDWARE, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, WILL BE FREE FROM INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY PATENTS, OR PROPRIETARY RIGHTS. 1.8 To the extent that this limited warranty is inconsistent with the law of the locality where the Licensee purchases the Matrox Product, this limited warranty shall be deemed modified to be consistent with such local law. Under such local law, certain limitations of this limited warranty may not apply to the consumer. If Matrox cannot lawfully disclaim statutory or implied warranties then to the extent permitted by law, all such warranties shall be limited in duration to the duration of this express warranty and to repair or replacement service as determined by Matrox at its sole discretion. 1.9 To the extent allowed by local law, the remedies provided in this limited warranty are the Licensee's sole and exclusive remedies.
1.10 EXCEPT FOR THE OBLIGATIONS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THE LIMITED WARRANTY SET OUT IN THE PRESENT SECTION 1, IN NO EVENT SHALL MATROX BE LIABLE FOR: i) any direct, indirect, special, incidental, consequential, foreseeable or unforeseeable, or punitive damages, whether based on contract, tort, delict or any other legal theory and whether advised of the possibility of such damages; and/or ii) damages arising from the loss of use, data, production, revenue, use of money, anticipated savings, business, opportunity, goodwill, reputation and/or profit in connection with the Matrox Hardware or any business interruption. 1.11 To the extent allowed by local law, Matrox's entire liability and the Licensee's exclusive remedy shall be the repair or replacement of any defective Matrox Product during the warranty period. Matrox does not offer any other warranty. 1.12 The Licensee shall be responsible for all applicable taxes, duties and customs fees on any replacement unit, as well as all transport, insurance, storage and other charges incurred on all returned Matrox Hardware. 1.13 If the Purchaser needs to return Matrox Hardware, it must pack the Matrox Product in its original box and return it to its Matrox dealer where the Matrox Product was purchased, together with the proof of purchase. The Matrox dealer will return the Matrox Product for the Purchaser. Alternatively, if this first option is unavailable, then the Purchaser may contact the Matrox Technical Support group which will issue a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number, upon receipt of adequate proof of purchase, and inform the Purchaser of shipping instructions. THE PURCHASER IS NOT TO RETURN A MATROX PRODUCT TO MATROX WITHOUT MATROX'S RMA NUMBER AND EXPRESS AUTHORIZATION. ________________________________
