Chapter 4: EPIX/PIXCI Installation

XCAP-Lite is supplied with each PIXCI imaging board and allows access to PIXCI 
imaging board(s). XCAP-Lite is a free version of the XCAP software and does not require 
an authorization key. Selected image processing and analysis functions are disabled, 
but you can use this software to confirm system operation, acquire images, and 
perform limited image analysis while the PIXCI imaging board is present and open for 
use. XCAP-Lite also exports customized video formats and camera serial commands to 
assist programming PIXCI imaging boards via the XCLIB C library. For imaging boards 
capturing directly into host computer memory, XCAP-Lite is limited to 64 MB of frame 
buffer memory; there is no limitation on frame buffer memory when used with the 
PIXCI CL3SD. For greater functionality, purchase XCAP-Plus or XCAP Std from EPIX.
For a detailed comparison of the family of XCAP software programs, refer to the XCAP 
Feature Chart located on the 

www.epixinc.com

 website.
