Introduction
The AccuPiXEL series cameras are high resolution, progressive scan cameras with PULNiX-
proprietary LUT control and other excellent features. The camera control software was developed to
function as standard software for the entire AccuPiXEL series. This software can open either the RS-
232 serial port (COM) or Camera Link. Camera Link users must physically install the Camera Link
frame grabber board into the PC. They must also install the Camera Link API (clserXXX.dll) software.
These cameras are specially designed to capture images in progressive scan (non-interlace) format,
producing a full frame of electronic shutter images, as well as normal images.
