Software Configuration
You need to have GenICam installed, but that is done for you by the Image Acquisition
Toolbox. The necessary environment variables should automatically be set as part of the
installation. You can optionally check to verify the following environment variables. See
the examples below.
Note: If you have a camera that requires a GenICam XML file on a local drive (most
cameras do not), you should set MWIMAQ_GENICAM_XML_FILES environment variable
to the directory of your choice, and then install the camera's XML file in that directory.
However, most cameras do not require or use local XML files.
Windows Example
MWIMAQ_GENICAM_XML_FILES=C:\cameraXML
You can test the installation by using the following command:
imaqhwinfo('gige')
and by looking at the relevant sections of the output when you run the imaqsupport
function.
Linux Example
MWIMAQ_GENICAM_XML_FILES=/local/cameraXML
You can test the installation by using the following command:
imaqhwinfo('gige')
Mac Example
MWIMAQ_GENICAM_XML_FILES=/local/cameraXML
You can test the installation by using the following command:
imaqhwinfo('gige')
and by looking at the relevant sections of the output when you run the imaqsupport
function.
