Loading Applets
Before you can initialize an mE5 frame grabber with an applet, you need to flash the applet onto the frame grabber. For flashing, you use the GUI tool microDiagnostics or the command line tool FirmwareFlasherCLI. Both tools are installed together with the runtime software.
Flashing instructions you find here:
Flashing mE5 marathon ACL frame grabbers using microDiagnostics
Flashing mE5 marathon VCL frame grabbers using microDiagnostics
Flashing mE5 marathon frame grabbers using the FirmwareFlasherCLI
Only after flashing the required applet(s) onto mE5 marathon frame grabbers (you can flash up to seven applets on one frame grabber board), you can use function Fg_Init
or Fg_InitEx
to load the applet to the frame grabber's FPGA and to initialize the frame grabber with the selected applet.
Please note that new frame grabbers usually are not pre-flashed with the apples of a specific runtime.
