Disabling PoCL Support

PoCL support is disabled per default for marathon and LightBridge frame grabbers.

If you enabled PoCL support and now want to use your frame grabber without PoCL, you can explicitly disable PoCL support.

To disable PoCL support on a marathon or LightBridge frame grabber: 

  1. In the Frame Grabber pane of microDiagnostics, select the board you want to disable the PoCL support for.
  2. From the Tools menu, select Board Settings.
  3. In the dialog, deselect Enable PoCL Detection.

  1. Re-configure the FPGA on the frame grabber. To do so, you can either
    • activate/load another applet, or
    • cold-boot your host PC.

Now, automatic PoCL detection for your frame grabber is disabled.

 

microEnable IV and ironman Frame Grabbers

You do not need to disable PoCL support for microEnable IV or ironman Frame grabbers:

  • microEnable IV: All microEnable IV Camera Link frame grabbers are available in two flavors, as "CL" (without PoCL support) and as "PoCL" (with PoCL support). Enabling/disabling PoCL via microDiagnostics is not necessary.
  • mE 5 ironman: mE 5 AD8-PoCL and mE 5 VD8-PoCL frame grabbers use automatic PoCL detection. Enabling/disabling PoCL via microDiagnostics is not necessary.
