Allows two ON Semiconductor Demo cameras to be simultaneously displayed side-by-side for comparison. It also allows two video files to be loaded, as long as they are playable by DevWareXDevWareXX. |
Usage - Selecting Video or Sensors
...
- Connect two ON Semiconductor Demo cameras to the system. Make sure the cameras are recognized and the drivers are installed. You can do this with DevWareDevWareX.
- Launch SideBySide from the desktop shortcut. The Side by Side Application Wizard will start. Please select "Next".
- You will be prompted to select which settings to use to start each camera. You can use the last set of settings that you used in DevWare DevWareX or you can select a preset for the INI file for this product. In this example our first camera is the A-8140 an AR0234CS and we will use DevWareDevWareX's last settings.
- In this example we are using the ASX350AT as AR0237CSas our 2nd camera. We will select the DevWare Initalization DevWareX Initialization preset in this case.
- Next select Finish and then the application will launch with two instances of DevWare DevWareX and size the display windows evenly. The initial startup takes a little more time than normal, but requires no user interaction. Please be patient.
- Note; some sensors' initialization process will include a "Prompt" for interface or mode selection - you'll need to choose the appropriate setting and then select "OK". For example;

- This example shows the two sensor windows (each a full version of DevWareDevWareX) with the control dialog at the bottom
- The control dialog at the bottom of the application is used to control both sensors together. To control the sensors independently you can use the standard DevWare DevWareX controls for each camera. They are hidden by default but can be opened from the toolbars.
Zoom -/+ will zoom out and in respectively. The zoom factor is updated to the current value. The pulldown menu can also be used to set the zoom factor directly. Both cameras are zoomed the same amount regardless of the value of "sync".
...
Camera Control allows you to control the cameras together. You can "Play", "Pause" or "Stop" the cameras from streaming as well as toggle between preview and full resolution (assuming both cameras support preview modes). You can also "grab" an image from both cameras simultaneously. If you want to control each camera independently you can use the DevWare controlsDevWareX controls.
Note: for "Play", you will be prompted to ensure that both DevWareX instances' video record settings have been properly configured before continuing.
OptionsYou can "Restore Default Layout" which returns the layout to the default positions. You can also toggle "Image Synchronization" which is used to synchronize the navigation. If on will show "Sync On" on the toolbar, which is the default. See Navigation Thumbnail for more information on Sync.

Quit Allows you to quit all windows in the application.
Tips
- All DevWare DevWareX toolbars and dialogs are hidden by the application. They can be manually re-enabled if access to a specific control is needed.
- Selecting Quit from the SideBySide control bar will close all DevWare DevWareX instances, it is not necessary to close each one seperatelyseparately.
- If you are running Windows 7 and get the following error message
- Go to C:\ON Semiconductor and right click on DevWare.exe and choose "Properties"
- Go to the "Compatability" Tab and UN-check the "Run this program in compatability mode" check-box
...
- have 2 sensors connected to USB3 cables but SideBySide indicates that 2 sensors are required, then unplug the missing sensor and restart SideBySide.
