Vision API Overview

The Vision API functions can be used to discover, query, and retrieve frames from GigE Vision cameras. To use Vision APIs to control and receive data from a GigE Vision Camera, see the RtGigEVision sample.

You can also use the Vision API functions to pass RTGV_FRAME objects from an RTSS application to a Windows application linked to RTAPI. This is useful when tasks that can be accomplished more easily in a Windows environment, such as displaying captured images in a GUI, are required.

To use the Vision functions, include the headers RtgvApi.h, RtgvComm.h, and RtgvDatatypes.h in your project and link with the libraries RtgvApi.lib and RtgvComm.lib.

Note: This feature requires a license. Vision can be installed with wRTOS Runtime. However, to enable this feature, you must have a MaxRT wRTOS Vision license (WVIS64) and a MaxRT wRTOS Basic Networking license (WNET64). Contact IntervalZero Sales to purchase licenses.
