    Goldeye SWIR InGaAs Camera Software

    VIMBA SDK

    Vimba is a comprehensive software suite:

    • Acquire images and explore camera features without programming.
    • Program your vision applications with C, C++, .NET or Python APIs.
    • Connect to third-party libraries and frameworks.

    Platform independent

    Vimba 6.0 was tested with:

    • Vimba for Windows 64-bit:
      • Windows 10 (GigE, USB, 1394, and Camera Link cameras)
      • Windows 11 (GigE, USB, and 1394 cameras)
    • Vimba for Windows 32-bit:
      • Windows 10 (GigE, USB, 1394, and Camera Link cameras)
    • Vimba for Linux: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (64-bit), Debian 11.2 (64-bit)
    • Vimba for ARM64: NVIDIA Xavier NX with
      • JetPack 4.6 (L4T 32.6.1) – GigE and USB cameras

    From quick prototyping to sophisticated development

    Vimba provides four APIs with extensive documentation and code examples:

    The Python API is perfect for a quick and easy start or for prototyping.
    The C API is Vimba’s basic and easy-to-use API. It can also be used as API for C++ applications.
    The C++ API has an elaborate class architecture. It is designed as a highly efficient and sophisticated API for advanced object-oriented programming including the STL (standard template library), shared pointers, and interface classes. If you prefer an API with less design patterns, we recommend the Vimba C API.
    The .NET API supports all .NET languages, for example, C#, C++/CLI, or Visual Basic .NET. Its general concept is similar to the C++ API.

    All APIs cover the following functions:

    • Listing currently connected cameras
    • Controlling camera features
    • Receiving images from the camera
    • Notifications about camera connections or disconnections

    The Image Transform Library converts camera images into other pixel formats and creates color images from raw images (debayering). While this is separated for the C and C++ API, the .NET API includes these functions. Therefore, a .NET application does not have to access the Image Transform Library. The APIs use GenICam transport layer (GenTL) libraries to communicate with the cameras.

    Third-party libraries compatibility

    Vimba’s transport layers automatically connect  to third-party software, for example, LabVIEW, MATLAB, OpenCV, Halcon, CVB, and many more.
