The PFRemote Control Tool
7.1 Overview
PFRemote is a graphical configuration tool for Photonfocus cameras. The latest release can be
downloaded from the support area of www.photonfocus.com.
All Photonfocus cameras can be either configured by PFRemote, or they can be programmed
with custom software using the PFLib SDK ([PFLIB]).
7.2 PFRemote and PFLib
As shown in Fig. 7.1, the camera parameters can be controlled by PFRemote and PFLib
respectively. To grab an image use the software or the SDK that was delivered with your frame
grabber.

The PFRemote GUI is available for Windows OS only. For Linux or QNX operating systems, we
provide the necessary libraries to control the camera on request, but there is no graphical user
interface available.
If you require support for Linux or QNX operating systems, you may contact us
for details of support conditions.
7.4 Installation Notes
Before installing the required software with the PFInstaller, make sure that your frame grabber
software is installed correctly.
Several DLLs are necessary in order to be able to communicate with the cameras:
