Integration into application software

The laser line profile sensors scanCONTROL 2700 and 2800 acquire for each measurement a 2D-profile of an object surface. These profiles can be transferred to your application as an array of points or composed in a container of several profiles. Each of these profiles consists of a certain number of calibrated measuring points, including additional information like intensity, timestamp or counter information. Besides the data transfer, the complete sensor configuration can be set up from the application.

The data transfer and the configuration of the sensors can be realized in different ways:

Integration with C/C++ library

The scanCONTROL C/C++ library supports as well dynamic as static loading and supports stdcall and cdecl as standard call conventions. All functions are described in detail in the included interface documentation. The scanCONTROL C/C++ SDK also includes many programming examples.

The integration module scanCONTROL C/C++ SDK includes:

Library LLT.DLL
Interface and scanCONTROL documentation
Programming examples for C++ (e.g. triggering the sensor, container mode)
Programming examples for C# and .NET
Demo tool DeveloperDemo.exe for fast testing of the sensor configuration

Integration with ICONNECT

The ICONNECT standard distribution already contains all necessary modules to integrate scanCONTROL sensors. ICONNECT provides a Drag&Drop programming environment for fast integration and parameterization of scanCONTROL sensors.

The integration module scanCONTROL Development includes:

scanCONTROL documentation
Programming examples for integration and visualization in ICONNECT

Integration with LabVIEW

The integration of scanCONTROL sensors into LabVIEW by National Instruments can be realized in two ways: Either by using the C/C++ library of Micro-Epsilon or by using the IMAQdx driver included in Vision Acquisition Software of National Instruments. Both methods provide a fast and reliable way of integrating scanCONTROL sensors into LabVIEW.

The integration module scanCONTROL LabVIEW-SDK includes:
