Win32 Systems (Win98, Me, NT, 2000 and XP)

This sample shows you how to use the strobes on the PXR800. You can set up the strobes through a Windows user interface and then inspect the source code to see how the calls are actually made.

The strobes can be used for a number of purposes including camera control and exposure control. The time of the Strobe and Exposure pulses can be programmed using the SetRTCTiming() function.

In this sample you will learn how to do the following:

1. Create a simple control window.
2. Create a video display window.
3. Initialize the PXR frame grabber.
4. Grab individual frames and display them in the video display window.
5. Grab frames and display them in realtime in the video display window.
6. Control the strobes on the PXR800.

In the PXR frame grabber samples, we have decided to use two windows (one for control and one for video display). We do this throughout the samples. We feel that two windows gives you more flexibility in designing controls although it does add some complexity.

This program uses ONE external modules that will be common to all of our samples for the PXR Series frame grabbers.
