Introduction
The AccuPiXEL series cameras are high resolution, progressive scan cameras with JAI-proprietary
LUT control and other excellent features. The camera control software was developed to function as
standard software for the entire AccuPiXEL series. This software can open either the RS-232 serial
port (COM) or Camera Link. Camera Link users must physically install the Camera Link frame grabber
board into the PC. Also install the Camera Link API (clserXXX.dll) software. These cameras are
specially designed to capture images in progressive scan (non-interlace) format, producing a full
frame of electronic shutter images, as well as normal images. This document addresses the
AccuPiXEL version 5.0.0 software, last modified in 2007 and available for download at www.jai.com.
