Direct Camera Setup
Camera is directly connected to PEKAT VISION (GenICam camera)
This is the easiest option, PEKAT VISION processes camera input in a loop.
User must enable the camera and define evaluation rules (output).
For information on multi-camera setup, access our Multi-Camera Setup article.
Script Setup - SDK, LabVIEW & HTTP API
Additional software is used to capture images
In this scenario, PEKAT VISION software is middleware and requires 3 steps:
STEP 1 - Send Images to PEKAT VISION
In the first step, the user has 3 options:
Option 1 - Users can use PEKAT VISION GitHub SDK - Python, .NET and C++ supported
Option 2 - Users can use LabVIEW plugin http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/218329
STEP 2 - PEKAT VISION processes images
It returns JSON data describing the results
STEP 3 - Script from step 1 processes the response
In the response, there could be information about objects which were found or overall evaluation.
You can use the inspection tab for debugging.
