considerations
ActiveMIL is a set of ActiveX controls that are based on MIL. ActiveMIL was
designed for rapid application development (RAD) tools, such as Microsoft's
Visual Basic. ActiveMIL is included with MIL (ActiveMIL-Lite is included with
MIL-Lite).
Matrox Inspector is an interactive Windows application for image capture,
processing, analysis, and archiving.
MIL application developers can use Matrox Inspector as a prototyping tool to
quickly build proof-of-concept demonstrations for their machine vision, image
analysis, and medical imaging system. End users can use Matrox Inspector to
perform and automate image enhancement and measurement tasks.
Matrox Intellicam is an interactive Windows program that allows fast camera
interfacing and provides interactive access to all the acquisition features of your
Matrox board. For boards that accept non-standard video sources, Matrox
Intellicam also has the ability to create custom digitizer configuration format
(DCF) files, which MIL and its derivatives use to interface to specific non-standard
video sources. Matrox Intellicam is included with MIL /ActiveMIL and MIL-Lite
/ActiveMIL-Lite.
For more information about Matrox Intellicam, refer to the Matrox Intellicam User
Guide.

What you need to get started

To begin using Matrox Meteor-II /Multi-Channel, you need the following:
• A computer with a PCI bus and an Intel Pentium processor (or equivalent) or
better.
• Microsoft Windows if using Matrox Imaging software (consult the Matrox
Imaging software package for specific supported environments and computer
memory/storage requirements).
• A computer with a newer PCI chipset, such as the Intel 440BX, 810, 815E, 820,
840, 845PE, 850, 860, E7500, or E7505 for full Matrox Meteor-II functionality.
These chipsets are recommended because they generally offer better performance
in terms of data transfer rates.
