5. Software “epc610 evaluation system” and user interface
5.1. Overview
This chapter describes the epc600/610 Evaluation Kit software (SW) and graphical user interface (GUI). The user interface is designed as
a dialog based application. The software operates the epc610 camera module, reads the data delivered by the module and allows for data
logging.
The 8x8 pixel array camera epc610 with the SPI interface works as a
3D TOF camera on-chip
.
5.1.1. User Interface Overview
Figure 14 shows a snapshots of the user interface. All the windows are identical both for the Mac and PC. Table 6 provides a brief descrip-
tion of the different user interface elements.
