Development Tools
MultiCam 6.19.2 should be usable with any development tool that supports at least one of these interfaces.
Please note that these programming interfaces also cover most of the available development tools used with other languages.
C/C++
MultiCam 6.19.2 is supplied as:
| ● | A 32-bit binary library (Windows and Linux) designed to be used with ISO-compliant C/C++ compilers for the development of x86 (32-bit) applications. |
| ● | A 64-bit binary library (Windows and Linux) designed to be used with ISO-compliant C/C++ compilers for the development x86-64 (64-bit) applications. |
DirectShow filters (Windows and Picolo series only)
| ● | DirectShow 32-bit filters designed to be used with x86 (32-bit) Microsoft Visual C++ compilers for the development of x86 (32-bit) applications. |
| ● | DirectShow 64-bit filters designed to be used with x86-64 (64-bit) Microsoft Visual C++ compilers for the development of x86-64 (64-bit) applications. |
Serial communication DLL (Windows and Linux on Grablink series only)
| ● | 32-bit and 64-bit dynamic libraries (Windows and Linux on Grablink series only) designed to be used for the serial communication with Camera Link cameras. |
.NET
MultiCam 6.19.2 is delivered with 32-bit and 64-bit .NET MultiCam_NetApi.dll assemblies, based on the MultiCam.cs interface file provided with the C# sample programs.
They are designed to be used with development environments compatible with .NET frameworks version 2.0 or higher.
You can find more information on this API in the sample programs source code.
The previously available ActiveX controls library and .NET assembly are now deprecated and have been removed from the MultiCam package.
MultiCam can still be used with Microsoft Visual Basic 6 or a .NET language provided that the C API is called directly.
Sample programs are available beside the driver in the MultiCam download area of the Euresys website.
Python
Python bindings for MultiCam allow users to call MultiCam functions and operate MultiCam frame grabbers from Python scripts.
They are compatible with Python 2.7 and 3.x under Windows and Linux.
On Windows, the MultiCam installer adds a shortcut in the Windows Start Menu to install the MultiCam Python bindings.
