XCAP Compatibility
Raptor works closely with EPIX who integrate all of the Raptor camera models into their XCAP
Imaging Software package. XCAP is the core plug and play software package that is offered with
Raptor cameras.
5.3
Micromanager Compatibility
There is a selection of Raptor cameras integrated into the free open source imaging software
Micromanager. The cameras currently supported can be seen in the table outlined in section 5.1.
5.4
LabView Compatibility
Raptor can provide LabView Interface Control Document files (.icd) to image and control the camera
on National Instruments Software such as NI MAX. Contact a Raptor Sales employee to obtain this
file.
6. CAMERA SETUP
This section will talk through setting up the camera, including connecting to the frame grabber and
chiller (if applicable). Below is an image of a normal setup of the camera, computer and chiller. For
most applications, the chiller may not be necessary to use with the Ninox 1280, as the fan is
normally adequate at dissipating heat from the device. If imaging the camera in a high ambient
temperature environment, water cooling may be required to keep the PCB temperature low enough
in order to hit the optimum -15
̊
C TEC set point. The maximum delta between the PCB and sensor
temperature is discussed in section 7.7.3.
