Installation and Configuration Notes
To determine if the Image Acquisition Toolbox software is installed on your system, type
this command at the MATLAB prompt:
ver
When you enter this command, MATLAB displays information about the version of
MATLAB you are running, including a list of all toolboxes installed on your system and
their version numbers.
For information about installing the toolbox, see the MATLAB Installation Guide.
For the most up-to-date information about system requirements, see the system
requirements page, available in the products area at the MathWorks Web site
(www.mathworks.com).
Note: With previous versions of the Image Acquisition Toolbox, the files for all of the
adaptors were included in your installation. Starting with version R2014a, each adaptor
is available separately through the Support Package Installer. In order to use the Image
Acquisition Toolbox, you must install the adaptor that your camera uses. See “Image
Acquisition Support Packages for Hardware Adaptors” on page 4-2 for information
about installing the adaptors.
The Image Processing Toolbox Software Required to Use the Image
Acquisition Toolbox Software
The Image Acquisition Toolbox product, including the Image Acquisition Tool, now
requires you to have a license for the Image Processing Toolbox product starting in
R2008b.
If you already have the Image Processing Toolbox product, you do not need to do
anything.
If you do not have the Image Processing Toolbox product, the Image Acquisition
Toolbox software R2008a and earlier will continue to work. If you want to use R2008b
or future releases, and you have a current active license for the Image Acquisition
Toolbox software, you can download the Image Processing Toolbox product for free. New
customers will need to purchase both products to use the Image Acquisition Toolbox
product.
