CXP Setup Instructions on Windows

Spinnaker SDK provides support for CoaXPress (CXP) Interfaces.

1. Install Spinnaker SDK 4.3.x or newer.
2. Download and install the Xtium2-CXP frame grabber producer from Teledyne Vision Solutions. The supported OS can be found in the "Specifications" section of the specific frame grabber page.

3. Ensure the following environment variables are set (default installation paths will set these automatically):

   For 64-bit systems:

   Variable	Default Path
   GENICAM_GENTL64_PATH	C:\Program Files\Teledyne DALSA\Xtium2-CXP PX8\GenTL\cti\x64
   GENICAM_GENTL64_PATH	C:\Program Files\Teledyne\Spinnaker\cti64\vs2015
   SPINNAKER_GENTL64CTI_VS140	C:\Program Files\Teledyne\Spinnaker\cti64\vs2015\Spinnaker_GenTL_v140.cti

   For 32-bit systems:

   Variable	Default Path
   GENICAM_GENTL32_PATH	C:\Program Files\Teledyne DALSA\Xtium2-CXP PX8\GenTL\cti\Win32
   GENICAM_GENTL32_PATH	C:\Program Files\Teledyne\Spinnaker\cti\vs2015
   SPINNAKER_GENTL32CTI_VS140	C:\Program Files\Teledyne\Spinnaker\cti\vs2015\Spinnaker_GenTL_v140.cti

4. The CXP Interface should now enumerate in SpinView.

5. Ensure that PoCXP (cameraPowerMode) is enabled and that the camera is plugged in if the camera does not enumerate.
