Point Grey Flea3 GigE Technical Reference
B FlyCapture SDK Examples
A single instance of FlyCap2_ GTKmm can only run one camera. However, multiple applications can be run to view
different cameras. Simply select more than one camera when starting FlyCap2_GTKmm. Note that the number of active
cameras is limited by the bandwidth of the bus.
Beginning with FlyCapture version 2.2, the GTK Runtime libraries required to run this example are no
longer pre-installed. To download the GTK Runtime, go to the
Point Grey downloads site
.
B.7
FlyCap2MFC
The FlyCap2MFC example is the equivalent of the FlyCap2 example program, except it uses the Microsoft Foundation
Class Library to implement the graphical user interface. Like FlyCap2, it is the main Point Grey Research application used
to work with single lens cameras. It allows a user to select a camera to start, and then starts streaming the images to
screen. There are options to modify camera settings and save single images.
Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition is required to build the FlyCap2MFC demo application. Express
Edition does not include the MFC library.
While a single instance of FlyCap2MFC can only open one camera, multiple FlyCap2MFC applications can be run to view
more than one camera. Note that the number of active cameras is limited by the bandwidth of the bus.
B.8
FlyCapture2GUI
This example contains the same source code that is used for the Camera Selection and Camera Control dialogs in
FlyCapture2.
As a result, it uses many of the features available in the FlyCapture2 API and is a useful source for discovering how to
perform many common functions, such as camera property manipulation, using the FlyCapture2 API.

B.10 FlyCapture2Test
The FlyCapture2Test example program is a simple program designed to report information related to all compatible
cameras attached to the host system, capture a series of images from a single camera, record the amount of time taken
to grab these images, then save the last image in the current directory.
