SDK Demo
C# Demo
It is for Windows platforms and can be compiled with VS2022.
Basic Live
The program has a display interface and can realize the basic continuous shooting functions. In continuous shooting mode, the program continuously acquires image data from the camera and displays it on the program interface. The program’s functions include scanning for camera connections, acquiring images for display, setting exposure time, gain, offset, and traffic, and switching modes for Binmode, bitsmode, and readmode.
Basic Single
The program has a display interface and can realize the basic single-frame shooting function. In single-frame shooting mode, the program will follow the user’s operation to execute the shooting task. The shooting task will start only when the user clicks the shooting button and then outputs one frame of image. The program will obtain the image data from the camera and display it on the interface. The software functions include scanning and connecting to the camera, acquiring and displaying images, setting the exposure time, gain and offset, and switching modes for Binmode and readmode.
VS2022 Demo
The program is for Windows and can be compiled using VS2022 or other toolset, such as VS2019.
Basic_Live
The program is a console program, with no display interface, running results will be output to the console. It can realize the basic continuous shooting function. In continuous mode, the program will continuously acquire image data from the camera, and the acquired data will be displayed in a separate window. The functions include scanning for camera connections, acquiring and displaying images, and setting exposure time, gain, offset, and traffic.
Basic_Single
The program is a console program, with no display interface, running results will be output to the console. It can realize the basic single-frame shooting function. The program will control the camera to run the shooting task and acquire a frame, the acquired data will be displayed in a separate window, and then the program will close automatically. The functions include scanning for connected cameras, acquiring and displaying images, and setting exposure time, gain, and offset.
Bin_Live
The function of BinMode setting is added to Basic_Live.
The function of BinMode setting is added to Basic_Single.
The burst function is added to Basic_Live. The function allows the camera to enter an idle state and control the start of shooting more precisely. The camera reads out a specified amount of image data at the same rate as in continuous shooting mode, and returns to the idle state when shooting is complete. It should be noted that each burst shot takes several hundred milliseconds to clear the data, so the actual shooting time is a little longer than in normal continuous mode. This function can be used instead of the single-frame mode if the high accuracy of the start of shooting and the speed of image readout is requested.
This program adds the filter wheel control function to Burst_Live. The filter wheel is controlled before each burst. This shooting mode can quickly shoot different color light images of the target, which can be applied to screen inspection and other related fields.
