This page provides the documentation of the HALCON frame grabber interface HFGDT3162.dll for the Data Translation frame grabber board DT3162. Registered customers can download the latest revision of this interface from the MVTec WWW server.

Revision: 2.1

System Requirements

• Intel compatible PC with Windows 2000/XP.
• Successfully installed DT3162 device driver.
• HALCON frame grabber interface HFGDT3162.dll or parHFGDT3162.dll, respectively.
  If you have properly installed the interface, both DLLs should reside in bin\i586-nt4 within the HALCON base directory %HALCONROOT% you have chosen during the installation of HALCON.

Features

• Support of a large variety of analog cameras based on the DT3162 camera configuration files.
• Multiple frame grabber boards.
• Synchronous and asynchronous grabbing.

• No LUTs.

Description

Parameters for open_framegrabber():

	Name		'DT3162'		The name of the HALCON frame grabber interface.
	HorizontalResolution		1		Ignored (the desired image resolution is set via the camera configuration file specified in the CameraType parameter!). Default: 1.
	VerticalResolution		1		Ignored (the desired image resolution is set via the camera configuration file specified in the CameraType parameter!). Default: 1.

	ImageHeight		---		Ignored.
	StartRow		---		Ignored.
	StartColumn		---		Ignored.
	Field		---		Ignored.
	BitsPerChannel		---		Ignored.
	ColorSpace		---		Ignored.
