SENSORAY SX11 FRAME GRABBER SAMPLE APPLICATION DEFINITIONS
====================================================================
SAMPLE 1.
Source files and executable for a sample application (written in C) that illustrates basic image
acquisition techniques. To modify the sample application you will have to create a project file, and
specify all necessary components. The sample has been tested to compile normally under Microsoft
Visual C/C++ v.5.0, and Watcom C/C++ v.11.0.
Description: This sample application allows image capture and display, saving the image to the file,
and changing some operation modes. It implements the slowest capture method (of all sample
applications). The image is acquired into the buffer, then displayed with the help of the Windows API
functions, acquired, displayed, etc. In this manner, at least every other frame is usually lost, thus the
rate should not exceed 15fps.
SAMPLE 2 (*** Source code available only in SX11 "ENHANCED" SDK ***).
An executable for a sample application that illustrates fast image acquisition techniques.
