GenICam GenTL Driver
GenICam is an industry standard for controlling and acquiring data from an imaging device. Gocator
sensors support GenICam through a GenTLProducer 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 GenTLdriver. 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 GenTLfolder 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.
