Technical documents
ITALA SDK
The ITALA SDK (Software Development Kit) is a robust and easy-to-use API designed from scratch to support all ITALA® cameras. The compliancy to the GenICam standard grants easy and precise configuration and control of cameras thanks to GenTL. Moreover, the ITALA SDK features up to date SFNC nomenclature and supports event interface to create deterministic camera operation and chunk data to provide meta-data on the acquisition
Key features
- Robust, easy-to-use C++ API
- Extensive documentation with practical code examples showing common and advanced use cases
- Standardized camera control via familiar GenApi implementation
- Up-to-date SFNC feature names
- Event interface and chunk data support
- Utilities for camera network configuration and firmware updates
- NDIS filter driver improves streaming stability and CPU usage
- Fully featured GUI viewer for camera control, streaming and monitoring
- Camera settings download from device to file and vice versa
- Support for Windows and Linux OS
Please find more information on the extensive functions of the ITALA API in the ITALA SDK documentation available in the installation directory.
ITALA View
ITALA View is a GUI tool which allows the evaluation, configuration and troubleshooting of ITALA® cameras. With a comprehensive set of utilities and wizards, Itala View speeds up the evaluation and deployment of a vision system built around ITALA cameras.
With reference to the image below, the main window of Itala View can be divided in different functional areas:
- Menu bar, to access the settings, tools and wizards of the application
- Device discovery, with the NICs of your computer and the cameras connected to them
- Device information and control
- Video streaming
- Image data analysis and logging
- GenICam feature tree
From the Tools menu you can access two important utilities:
- IP configurator, to efficiently address network configuration issues of Itala cameras, including but not restricted to:
- Camera and NIC set with persistent IPs but different subnets
- Camera and NIC set with persistent IPs but different subnet masks
- Camera set in DHCP mode and NIC set with a persistent IP
- Camera set with a persistent IP and NIC set in DHCP mode
- Firmware update, where you can install firmware files after downloading them from Opto Engineering website
From the Wizard you can access three important utilities:
- LUT wizard, to view and edit the LUT of the selected camera which allows the user to set a transformation at a pixel level
- Defective pixels correction wizard, to perform a custom pixel correction that takes into account environmental factors which can increase the amount of defective pixels during the camera life
- Color correction wizard, to calibrate the camera in specific light conditions with a reference color and obtain an optimal color rendering
Third party software compatibility
Itala cameras are compliant to GigEVision and GenICam standards, allowing easy integration with third party vision software. In addition, the SDK includes a GenTL producer (.cti file) compliant with the GenTL specifications hosted by EMVA. This further enhances the interoperability with other compliant devices and software.
The list of compatible third party software includes, but it’s not limited to:
- FabImage® by Opto Engineering
- VisionPro by Cognex
- Halcon by MVTec
- Merlic by MVTec
- LabVIEW by National Instruments
- Aurora Design Assistant™ by Zebra
- Aurora™ by Zebra
