Interfacing with Halcon
Halcon is a comprehensive software package for machine vision applications with an integrated
development environment. Gocator can use the included GenTL driver to stream 3D point clouds and
intensity data into Halcon in real-time.
The Gocator 4.x GenTL driver does not currently support scanning in profile mode.
For information on setting up the GenTL driver, see GenTL Driver on page 558.
This section describes how to configure Halcon to acquire data from the Gocator 4.x firmware. You
should be familiar with Gocator's Surface mode. Before continuing, make sure Halcon is installed.
