Notes on the interfaces

Please note this additional information regarding the product-specific interfaces and AI hardware.

MVTec HALCON

Interfaces for HALCON

MVTec provides interfaces for digital I/O and image acquisition that are compatible with a range of HALCON versions. MVTec indicates compatibility directly in the version name of each interface.

Example: GigEVision2 Interface for all GigE Vision compliant Devices Rev. 20.11.17 (x64-win64)

An interface version always consists of three numbers separated by dots, for example 20.11.17. The first two numbers indicate the minimum HALCON version the interface supports. In this example, the interface is compatible with all HALCON versions from 20.11 onward. The last number indicates the revision of the interface, in this case revision 17.
