Synview Explorer

...

SynView is a NET-created development environment based on GenICam/GenTL standards. It contains a high-performance and user-friendly API to make it easier to create applications. Application engineers can concentrate fully on developing your solution. More information can be found under the following link.

The SynView package contains the SynView Explorer tool, which allows to enumerate, connect and configure camera, acquire images or generate sample source code for SynView API. It is a useful tool for testing both the SynView and camera functionality.

...

Info

SynView is preinstalled on the camera under the location /opt/synview/bin/

Info

To learn more how to use Synview explorer we refer to the Synview Explorer manual.

Testing the camera

Capture an image or test new camera settings with Synview Explorer. There are two ways:

...

Info

It is an common source of error to operate a monochrom sensor in the color space. In case of a monochrome sensor change the Pixel Format to Mono 8 .

Live view performance

From the line just above the live image, the frames count per second on the iam camera system is visible. Displaying the images remote over an OpenSSH connection will impair the performace very much and will add some delay as well. In the example below, the sensor runs with 147 frames per second and 1.8 frames per second if displayed remotely.  

...

Tip

See what your camera model can achieve by looking up the maximum frame rate at Camera Model Overview table.

Info

An OpenSSH session using live imaging has a poor performance but can help to change camera parameters or test new features.

Info

Please be aware of the low frame refresh rate with this type of connection. A better refresh rate will be achieved with the "GigE Vision server of Synview" in the future.
