The PixeLINK Camera Application Programming Interface
The PixeLINK Camera Application Programming Interface (API) offers application
software developers a means to adapt existing programs or develop new imaging
applications for PixeLINK cameras. The API is designed to simplify the most common
tasks associated with configuring and controlling the cameras. Applications can also
leverage the advanced command and control capabilities to enable enhanced functions
via available I²C or general purpose I/O connectors.
The PixeLINK Camera API software and reference documentation are available as
Software Developer’s Kits (SDK) and are included in PixeLINK Camera Developer's Kits.
