This project, distinct from the original PIV-controller, is specifically tailored for Vimba Cameras. It offers enhanced coding standards and a more robust architectural design. Upon completion of all coding work, this project will seamlessly integrate with the existing PIV-control project.
Link to the Former Project (All-in-One): PIV-Control Repository
- Exposure Time Setting: Customize exposure duration for precise imaging.
- Image Dimensions: Set height and width parameters.
- Frame Rate Adjustment: Options include 1.0, 10.0, 20.0 fps.
- Config File Reading: Supports input of floating-point numbers.
- Calibration Capture Tools: Console-based tools for efficient calibration.
