Chapter 1: Before you begin

• Run, terminate, and re-run the project on your Matrox Iris GTX from within 

Matrox Design Assistant. 

Imaging projects can:

• Grab images from your Matrox Iris GTX or use images from disk. 

• Analyze images using several industry-proven image analysis and measurement 

tools (for example, code reader and Geometric Model Finder tools). 

• Send and receive user-defined signals from the Digital I/O and power connector 

of your Matrox Iris GTX.

• Send and receive information and save images across the network using TCP/IP, 

Modbus, CCLink, EtherNet/IP, and PROFINET protocols.

Documentation conventions

Your Matrox Iris GTX is a network-aware device. The terminology used 
throughout this document mirrors that of local area networks (LANs). 

In this document, any computer that can communicate with your Matrox 
Iris GTX is referred to as “your computer”. If you use your computer to develop 
your applications for your Matrox Iris GTX, it is referred to as your development 
computer. 

The procedure to select a menu item from a submenu uses a simplified format. 
For example, the following procedure:

will be replaced by:

Select the 

Edit

 menu item from the main menu, and then select the 

Copy 

menu command from the presented submenu.

Select the
