Configuring Sony XC-ST50 Cameras
The MVS-8100L supports the use of the Sony XC-ST50 cameras. If you purchase your
XC-ST50 cameras from Cognex, they arrive ready to use with the MVS-8100L. If you
purchase your XC-ST50 from a third party, you must configure the camera as shown in
this section.
Figure 9 shows the back panel of the Sony XC-ST50 camera with the switches in their
factory default positions.
