Introduction
The Dual-Tap AccuPiXEL series cameras are high-resolution, progressive scan cameras with JAI proprietary LUT
control and other excellent features. The software for these cameras was developed to function as standard
software for the entire Dual-Tap AccuPiXEL series, and can open either the RS- 232 serial port (COM) or Camera
Link. Camera Link users must physically install the Camera Link frame grabber board into the PC to which the
camera is connected. They must also install the Camera Link API (clserXXX.dll) software. These cameras are
specially designed to capture images in progressive scan (non-interlace) format, producing a full frame of
electronic shutter images, as well as normal images.
Although this software works with all AccuPiXEL cameras, the interface for the RM-4200CL series appears
different from other cameras compatible with this same software, and has various capabilities, depending on
the camera model the software is accessing. The 4200CL series includes the RM-4200CL, TM-4200CL
(monochrome), RMC-4200CL and TMC-4200CL. The RM-4200CL series software is therefore, specifically
documented in this section
