Drivers Bitflow

The drivers only version installs just the binary components, the camera configuration files, the kernel driver and some utilities. There is no charge for the drivers only version of the SDK and can be downloaded from the BitFlow website. WOBURN, MA, AUGUST 15, 2017 - BitFlow, Inc. Reported today that a free software driver supporting National Instrument® LabVIEW™ for the CoaXPress™ standard has recently become one of the most frequently downloaded products from its website, www.bitflow.com, underscoring the rapidly expanding adoption of this interface by the machine vision industry. The drivers are for use with BitFlow Aon and Cyton CoaXPress frame grabbers. The development of third-party drivers aims to accelerate the CXP standard throughout the scientific, military and industrial vision markets. Only one driver is required for any given application regardless of which BitFlow frame grabber is being deployed.

Salient Features

SW-SDK-WIN BitFlow SDK

Software Development Kit – Windows Version

The BitFlow Software Development Kit (SDK) can be installed in two ways on your computer, the full SDK and drivers only. The full SDK is needed if you are developing your own application, or if you want to use some of our own advanced applications. The drivers only version is needed if you are using a third party application, such as A&B Software’s ImageWarp or MVTec’s HALCON. The full SDK installs everything you need to compile, link and debug your own application that works with our frame grabbers. It also installs some of our high level applications, which can be used on their own right to capture and analyze images. Source code for all of the application plus our libraries is included. The drivers only version installs just the binary components, the camera configuration files, the kernel driver and some utilities.

There is no charge for the drivers only version of the SDK and can be downloaded from the BitFlow website. During installation, enter 0 for the serial number, and all of the necessary binary components will be installed (this is a useful feature for OEMs deploying their own systems). The full SDK must be purchased. After purchasing the SDK you will receive a serial number that will tell the installer to put the full SDK onto your system.
