To provide our customers the best possible replacement camera for the discontinued CCD sensor ICX618, Basler developed and just recently launched the acA640-121gm. In some cases users experienced long times for opening the camera. This long opening times are caused by the poor performance of older GenICam versions in caching the more complex GenICam XML Files in current cameras. In order to resolve that issue a more recent GenICam version or a new camera firmware is required. With this firmware release the acA640-121gm comes along with two different XML Files in order to allow the best performance in both cases.
