1.8.3.1 Communicating With The Camera

You can communicate with the camera the following way
1. Via wxPropView (p. 65) :
Since driver version 2.11.3, starting wxPropView (p. 65) the first time, the so called Quick Setup Wizard will
be launched.

1.8.3.2 Setting Up The Camera

MATRIX VISION offers several GUI tools (p. 65) to work with the camera. Please have a look at the specific chapter.

1.8.3.3 About Settings

A setting contains all parameters that are needed to configure the device to a state it was in when the setting was
created. Every image can be captured with a completely different set of parameters. In almost every case, these
parameters are accessible via a property offered by the device driver. A setting e.g. might contain
• The gain to be applied to the analog to digital conversion process for analog video sources or
• The AOI to be captured from the incoming image data.
So for the user a setting is the one and only place where all the necessary modifications can be applied to achieve
the desired data acquisition mode. There is however an important difference in behaviour between different interface
layouts. Please have a look at the "mvIMPACT Acquire SDK GUI Applications" chapter "wxPropView -
Configuration - General Device Configuration -
Specific" to find out how to modify the interface layout or check in the API documentation for the interfaceLayout
property of the class Device.
• When working with the DeviceSpecific interface layout, each frame will be captured with the settings as
present when requesting the image. Every parameter can be modified at any time. When requesting another
image the settings valid at that moment will be used to fill this buffer with data
