Launch Image Acquisition Tool
Syntax
imaqtool
imaqtool(file)
Description
imaqtool launches an interactive GUI to allow you to explore, configure, and acquire
data from your installed and supported image acquisition devices.
The functionality of the Image Acquisition Toolbox software is available in this desktop
application. You connect directly to your hardware in the tool and can preview and
acquire image data. You can log the data to MATLAB in several formats, and also
generate an AVI file, right from the tool.
The Image Acquisition Tool provides a desktop environment that integrates a preview/
acquisition area with Acquisition Parameters so that you can change settings and see the
changes dynamically applied to your image data.
For complete information on how to use the Image Acquisition Tool, see “Getting Started
with the Image Acquisition Tool” on page 3-5.
imaqtool(file) starts the tool and then immediately reads an Image Acquisition Tool
configuration file, where file is the name of an IAT-file that you previously saved.
This configuration file contains parameter settings that you save using File > Save
Configuration in the tool.
