B FlyCapture SDK Examples
The FlyCapture SDK includes a number of examples in C, C++, C#, and VB.NET to help get you started in some
basic camera programming tasks. Some examples may not be supported by your camera model.
B.1

AsyncTriggerEx

The AsyncTriggerEx example program demonstrates some of the basic asynchronous trigger capabilities of
compatible FLIR machine vision cameras.
This program only works with cameras that can be asynchronously triggered, either using an external hardware
trigger or by using the camera's internal software trigger.
The camera is started and put into trigger mode. The user can then either press a key to software trigger the
camera, or trigger through an external hardware trigger. The example captures a specified number of images and
then exits.

B.2

BusEventsEx

The BusEventsEx demonstrates how to Register for Bus Events such as Camera Arrival/Removal and Bus
Resets using the managed API.
Available for:
VB.NET
n
B.3

CustomImageEx

The CustomImageEx example program demonstrates how to configure a FLIR machine vision camera to output
custom sized images - the FlyCapture equivalent of the IIDC specifications 'Format 7'. Custom image modes are
often useful for achieving faster frame rates, reducing the resolution of an image, and allowing more cameras to
run on a single bus by reducing bandwidth requirements.
The program creates a context and initializes the first camera on the 1394 bus. It then queries the camera to
determine the custom image modes, resolution sizes, unit sizes and pixel formats the camera supports. The
information returned by QueryFormat7Info() is the same kind of information you would see in FlyCap using the
Format7 tab.
