Matrox Design
Assistant
Matrox Design Assistant is a flowchart-based, Windows program that integrates
a development environment for Matrox Iris GT smart cameras. It allows you to
create an imaging application without writing a single line of code. Application
development is visually a step-by-step approach, where each step is taken from an
existing toolbox and is configured through a series of dialog windows. Matrox
Design Assistant runs on your development computer and uses the resources of
your Matrox Iris GT smart camera (for example, to grab an image and
communicate with connected devices) to build projects. Once the project is built,
it runs on your Matrox Iris GT without relying on the resources of your
development computer. Contact your Matrox sales representative for more
information regarding Matrox Design Assistant.
