Setting the MTU Size

For using LAG it is important you set the correct MTU size.

  1. Start microDisplay X.
    You find microDisplayX.exe in your Silicon Software runtime installation directory, sub-directory bin (for example: C:\Program Files\SiliconSoftware\Runtime5.7.0\bin\microDisplayX.exe).
  2. Select the GigE Vision frame grabber board you want to configure camera(s) and firmware for.
  3. Load an LAG applet via double-click on the applet name.
  4. Go to tab Cameras and to subtab Connection.
  5. Set the MTU size to your requirements: 
    1. Stop image acquisition if running.
    2. In the Stream Channels pane, click the Edit button. (Use the slider on the right hand side of the program window if the Edit button is not visible.)
    1. Ensure Auto MTU is disabled.
    2. Set your MTU value.
    3. Click the Apply button.

MTU Size Value range

 

Note that the MTU size minus four has to be an integer multiple of 8, i.e.,

(MTU - 4) % 8 == 0.

You must not change the MTU while an acquisition is running. You do not need to restart the PC after setting the MTU.
