This document describes the sample code that is included in the SDK and can be found in C:\Aptina Imaging\samples.

They use VS2015, and Qt 5.9.4 where applicable.  Also, for some samples VS2008/VS2010/VS2012/VS2013 solutions files are available.

NOTE: for Qt applications, you'll need to install Qt's VS2015 plugin and then in VS2015 set the following "Qt Versions" via the "Qt VS Tools" menu;

  • Name "msvc2015_64" and path to 64-bit Qt (e.g C:\Qt\Qt5.9.4\5.9.4\msvc2015_64)
  • Name "msvc2015" and path to 32-bit Qt (e.g. C:\Qt\Qt5.9.4\5.9.4\msvc2015)


Most pre-built executables are in C:\Aptina Imaging.

Each application is noted as being Command Line-based, GUI-based, or a plug-in.

...

Also, the Python script "create_new_dlg.py" can be used to make a copy of the BlankQtDlg source into the DevWare directory, while making all necessary file name changes and string substitutions to create a new plug-in project.

NOTE: for Qt applications, ensure that you have a System Variable of "QTDIR" set to the location of your Qt installation files; for example, C:\Qt\Qt5.4.0\5.4\msvc2012_opengl

Csharp_ApBase_COM_Sample

Csharp_ApBaseCOM.exe is a Command Line based C# sample of using ApBase's COM interface built using Visual Studio C#. The sample performs the following actions:
1. Starts ApBase_COM and then displays the sensor name found.
2. Loads the default initialization preset.
3. Sets up the capture/save parameters.
4. Grab the frame and saves it, and verifies there were no errors.
5. Exits ApBase_COM.

...

These examples can be executed by loading the .INI file into DevWare and executing the presets.

  • DevWare Python Introduction.ini provides various examples of Python INI file usage.
    Also, refer to DevWare Python Introduction.pdf for an introduction and examples.
  • Exposure-demo.ini shows an example of increasing and decreasing exposure from an INI preset.
  • AR0132_read_embedded.ini grabs 6 frames and prints the embedded data registers that changed.
  • Gain-exp-sweep.ini performs Gain Sweep via the optional Register Dialog "Scripts" feature, for the AR0330.
    It create creates 2 Custom Toolbars; One for "Gain Sweep" and another for "Exposure Sweep".
  • Mode-transition.ini captures images to .raw files across a mode transition.
  • QTM.ini sets a long file name for snapshot in DevWare.
  • TimingSample_py.ini is an example that creates a simple Python GUI, reads several register values and does some simple frame rate/timing calculations.
  • videocapture.ini is a Python script that implements simple video recording.

...

Simple is a GUI-based QT Visual Studio C++ ApBase application that can display image output for all Aptina sensors. It has a very simple demosaic algorithm in order to display output for Bayer only parts. It also includes examples of how to read and write registers.
Note that the application expects the width and height to match the SDAT's values of "Width" and "Height".

NOTE: for Qt applications, ensure that you have a System Variable of "QTDIR" set to the location of your Qt installation files; for example, C:\Qt\Qt5.4.0\5.4\msvc2012_opengl

TransportDLL

TransportDLL is a sample Visual Studio C++ transport DLL. A transport DLL allows a user to use non-Aptina Hardware to run with Devware or any other MIDLIB application. For more information on creating a transportDLL please refer to the "Transport DLL Development Guide"
