Acquire Images from Matrox Frame Grabbers

Create an object, m, using the index number and DCF file. If you want to use the second

frame grabber in the list, the Solios XCL at digitizer 1, use a 2 as the index number,

since it is the second camera on the list. The second argument must be the name of your

DCF file, entered as a string. It must contain the fully qualified path to the file as well.

In this example, the DCF file is named mycam.dcf.

m = matroxcam(2, 'C:\Drivers\Solios\dcf\XCL\Basler\A404K\mycam.dcf')

Display Summary for matroxcam:

DeviceName: 'Solios XCL (digitizer 1)'

DCFName: 'C:\Drivers\Solios\dcf\XCL\Basler\A404K\mycam.dcf'

FrameResolution: '1300 x 1080'

Timeout: 10

It creates the object and connects it to the Solios XCL with that index number, in this

case, the second one displayed by matroxlist. The DCF file is specified so that the

acquisition can use the properties you have set in your DCF file.

The four properties shown when you create the object are read-only properties that

identify the frame grabber.

Acquire One Image Frame from a Matrox Frame Grabber

Use the snapshot function to acquire one image frame from a Matrox frame grabber.

Use the matroxlist function to ensure that MATLAB is discovering your frame

grabber.
