18 PI-MTE System Manual Version 4.C
Application Software
The Princeton Instruments WinView/32 software package provides comprehensive
image acquisition, display, processing, and archiving functions so you can perform
complete data acquisition and analysis without having to rely upon third-party software.
WinView/32 provides reliable control over most Princeton Instruments cameras,
regardless of array format and architecture, via an exclusive universal
programming interface (PVCAM
®
). WinView/32 also features snap-ins and macro
record functions to permit easy user customization of any function or sequence.
PVCAM is the standard software interface for cooled CCD cameras from
Princeton Instruments. It is a library of functions that can be used to control and
acquire data from the camera when a custom application is being written. For
example, in the case of Windows, PVCAM is a dynamic link library (DLL). Also,
it should be understood that PVCAM is solely for camera control and image
acquisition, not for image processing. PVCAM places acquired images into a
buffer, where they can then be manipulated using either custom written code or by
extensions to other commercially available image processing packages.
Scientific Imaging ToolKit™ (SITK™) is a collection of LabVIEW
®
VIs for
scientific cameras and spectrographs. This third party software can be purchased
from Princeton Instruments.
Note: Linux
®
drivers are also available.
