General
This page provides the documentation of the HALCON Sentech image acquisition interface for the STC USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 cameras from
Sentech.
Registered customers can download the
latest revision of this interface from the
MVTec WWW server.
System Requirements
- Intel compatible PC with Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit) or newer that is also supported by the vendor-specific SDK and USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 interface. Note hat in case of USB 3.0, the use of some older onboard USB 3.0 controllers may lead to timeout errors during image acquisition.
- USB 2.0: Sentech USB driver StUSB.sys (32bit or 64bit) with the version 3.0.0.3 or higher. Typically, this file resides in the directory %WINDIR%\system32\drivers.
- USB 3.0: Sentech USB driver StUSB.sys (32bit or 64bit) with the version 3.0.0.5 or higher. Typically, this file resides in the directory %WINDIR%\system32\drivers.
- Sentech DLL StTrgApi.dll (32-bit or 64-bit) with the version number 1.0.0.7 or higher. This DLL must be within your search path %PATH% (typically, it resides in the directory %WINDIR%\system32).
- HALCON image acquisition interface hAcqSentech.dll or hAcqSentechxl.dll, respectively. If you have properly installed the interface, both DLLs should reside in bin\%HALCONARCH% within the HALCON base directory %HALCONROOT% you have chosen during the installation of HALCON.
Installation
Only when installing or updating the interface manually follow these steps:
- Windows: Extract the archive containing the interface files to the HALCON base directory %HALCONROOT% (Note: Administrator privileges may be required for this step). Additionally, you have to move the interface examples to the directory %HALCONEXAMPLES% manually.
Features
- Synchronous and asynchronous grabbing.
- Continuous and software trigger mode.
- Support of multiple cameras.
- Software control of various camera parameters like exposure and gain.
Limitations
- No image cropping.

Parameters for set_framegrabber_param
Parameter | Values | Default | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
'bayer_pattern' | 'bggr', 'gbrg', 'grbg', 'rggb' | string | Bayer pattern. Note that in open_framegrabber the camera will be initialized with the corresponding pattern. | |
'color_interpolation' | 'bicubic', 'bilinear', 'color_reduction', 'nearest_neighbor', 'none_color', 'none_mono' |
|
string | Color interpolation. |
'continuous_grabbing' | 'disable', 'enable' | 'enable' | string | If the continuous grabbing mode is enabled, the camera grabs all the time. In this mode the operator grab_image does not grab synchronously, but behaves similar to grab_image_async. Using this mode you can achieve full frame rate. If the continuous grabbing mode is disabled, the camera is set to single frame capture. |
'digital_gain' | 0 ... 511 | 0 | integer | Digital gain value which is controlled by the FPGA. |
'do_abort_grab' | --- | Cancel the current grab and clear the buffer. | ||
'do_force_trigger' | --- | Forces an event trigger when using the external trigger. To use the software trigger functionality it is necessary to set the 'external_trigger' parameter to 'true' and to disable the 'continuous_grabbing' parameter. Note that this feature can only be used if the camera model supports the trigger mode. | ||
'exposure' | <time> | integer | Exposure time of the camera. | |
'exposure_delay' | <delay> | integer | Delay of the exposure start. (see sentech documentation for more details). | |
'external_trigger' | 'false', 'true' | 'false' | string | Enables/disables the trigger mode. Set the parameter to 'false' will enable the 'continuous_grabbing' mode. This feature can only be used if the camera model supports the trigger mode. |
'gain' | 0 ... 255 | 0 | integer | Gain value. |
'grab_timeout' | <milliseconds> | 5000 | integer | Desired timeout (milliseconds) for aborting a pending grab. If -1 is specified, the timeout is set to INFINITE. |

'io_pin_direction3' | 'input', 'output' | string | I/O setting of pin 3. | |
'io_pin_mode0' | 'out_disable', 'out_general_output', 'out_trigger_output_programmable', 'trigger_output_loop_through', 'out_exposure_end', 'out_ccd_read_end_output', 'out_strobe_output_programmable', 'out_strobe_output_exposure', 'in_disable', 'in_general_input', 'in_trigger_input', | string | I/O setting of pin 0. | |

'io_pin_mode3' | 'out_disable', 'out_general_output', 'out_trigger_output_programmable', 'trigger_output_loop_through', 'out_exposure_end', 'out_ccd_read_end_output', 'out_strobe_output_programmable', 'out_strobe_output_exposure', 'in_disable', 'in_general_input', 'in_trigger_input', | string | I/O setting of pin 3. | |
'io_pin_polarity0' | 'positive', 'negative' | string | I/O setting of pin 0. | |
'io_pin_polarity1' | 'positive', 'negative' | string | I/O setting of pin 1. | |
'io_pin_polarity2' | 'positive', 'negative' | string | I/O setting of pin 2. | |
'io_pin_polarity3' | 'positive', 'negative' | string | I/O setting of pin 3. | |
'readout_delay' | <delay> | integer | Image readout delay (time between the exposure end and starting the image readout). | |
'scan_mode' | 'normal', 'partial_1', 'partial_2', 'partial_4', 'binning', 'binning_partial', 'binning_partial_1', 'binning_partial_2', 'binning_partial_4' | string | Scanning mode. The supported scanning modes are different for each camera model. Changing the scanning mode stops the image transfer and will clear the buffers. | |
'start_async_after_grab_async' | 'disable', 'enable' | 'enable' | string | By default a new asynchronous grab command is automatically given to the acquisition device at the end of grab_image_async. If the parameter 'start_async_after_grab_async' is set to 'disable', this new grab command is omitted. |

'volatile' | 'disable', 'enable' | 'disable' | string | Grayscale only. In the volatile mode the two image acquisition interface buffers are used directly to store HALCON images. This is the fastest mode avoiding to copy raw images in memory. However, be aware that older images are overwritten again and again as a side-effect. Thus, you can only process one image while you grab another image. Older images are invalid! |
'white_balance' | 'disable', 'enable' | 'disable' | string | Enables/disables the white balancing. |
'white_balance_gain_b' | 0 ... 640 | 128 | integer | Blue gain parameter for the white balance. |

'white_balance_gain_r' | 0 ... 640 | 128 | integer | Red gain parameter for the white balance. |
'whtie_balance_mode' | 'auto', 'manual', 'oneshot' | string | White balance mode. |
Parameters for get_framegrabber_param
There may exist additional read-only parameters with the following postfixes:
- '_description': These parameters provide the tool-tip of the corresponding parameter as a string.
- '_range': These parameters provide the minimum, maximum, step width, and default values for the corresponding integer or float parameter as a tuple with 4 elements, e.g., get_framegrabber_param(.., 'Shutter_range', ..) will return the output tuple [min, max, step, default].
- '_values': These parameters provide the valid value list for the corresponding parameter as a tuple, e.g., get_framegrabber_param(.., 'volatile_values', ..) will return the output tuple ['enable', 'disable'].
All these postfixed parameter names are not returned when calling info_framegrabber(.., 'parameters', ..) and are used to enable the easy parameterization via a generic graphical user interface, particularly the HDevelop Image Acquisition Assistant.
