DLPLCR4500EVM: Recommended Cameras to begin evaluating the 4500EVM for TILDA-00254 Guide

Part Number:DLPLCR4500EVM

Hi all,

I am new to this forum so please forgive me if some of these questions are very simple that I am asking

1. In relation to the guide TILDA-00254 which is a couple of years old now what camera is recommended to be used in order to get up quickly up and going to start evaluating the Lightcraft 4500? I see a reference to this model in the forums - Flea®3 FL3-U3-13S2C-CS 1/3" Color USB 3.0 Camera but this model is only a 1.3 MP. Do I not need something like a 5MP version to get best results from the 4500 chip or is 1.3MP OK?
2. Should I use a mono or colour camera? What are the pros and cons of using each? (Speed of acquisition and processing in my case is not an issue)
3. It is difficult to get other cameras working. I have worked with the Genie models from Teledyne Dalsa in the past so it would be great to get some feedback if these models are easy to integrate with this guide
4. What lens is recommended? Initially I am looking to measuring a part that is about 300mm (W) x 300mm (L) x 50mm (H) in size but will also have a requirement to look at much smaller parts down the line.
5. If I wanted sub 10uM accuracy / resolution what type of setup / changes would be required? (Feel free to put limits on the size of the part that is to be inspected)
6. Are there visual studio example projects available in c++ / c#? I was mention that were going to be created but I'm not sure if they are available in the SDK

Thanks in advance
