GenICam GenTL Driver
GenICam is an industry standard for controlling and acquiring data from an imaging device. Gocator
sensors support GenICam through a GenTLProducer driver.
The GenTL driver included with Gocator allows GenICam-compliant third-party software applications
such as Halcon and Common Vision Blox to acquire and process 3D data and intensity generated from
the sensor.
The following Gocator scan modes are supported:
l Video
l Profile (with Uniform Spacing disabled). In this mode, the raw profiles are resampled and accu-
mulated into a surface.
l Surface (with Uniform Spacing enabled)
For more information on scan modes and uniform spacing, see Scan Modes on page 116.
To use these third-party software applications, you must configure a system variable so the
software can access the GenTLdriver. For instructions, see To configure system variables to use
the driver in Windows 7, below.
To get the toolset package containing the driver (14405-x.x.x.x_SOFTWARE_GO_Tools.zip), go to
http://lmi3d.com/support, choose your product from the Product Downloads section, and download it
from the Download Center.
After downloading the package and unzipping the file to a location you will remember, you will find the
driver in the GenTL\x86 or GenTL\x64 folder (you can move the GenTLfolder to a more convenient
location).
To configure system variables to use the driver in Windows 7:
1. From the Start menu, open the Control panel and then click System and Security.
