Image Acquisition
Sapera LT SDK provides field proven functions and libraries for image acquisition from a wide variety of area and linescan color/monochrome cameras and our 3D laser Profiler. Sapera LT SDK support all major machine vision standard such as CameraLink, CameraLink HS, CoaXpress, USB3 Vision, and GigE Vision. Sapera LT features a highly optimized GigE Vision driver that incorporate Teledyne DALSA’s patented TurboDrive™ technology to augment the GigE image transfer speeds by a factor of x1.5 to x3. When coupled with supported hardware cameras, this breakthrough technology delivers additional bandwidth to imaging applications without additional programming steps or resource utilization.
The image acquisition libraries are designed for high performance vision applications in mind and offer sophisticated host image buffer and transfer management techniques. Sapera LT SDK and its re-distributable runtime components for application deployment are offered free of charge when used with Teledyne DALSA cameras and frame grabbers.
CamExpert
Sapera CamExpert provides an indispensable user touch point for configuring and setting up cameras. Sapera CamExpert offers an intuitive graphical interface that allows configuring and setup of GigE Vision, CXP, USB3 Vision, CLHS, CameraLink and GenCP compliant cameras and frame grabbers.
