1.2.2 Driver concept
The driver supplied with the MATRIX VISION product represents the port between the programmer and the
hardware. The driver concept of MATRIX VISION provides a standardized programming interface to all image
processing products (excluding mvBlueLYNX) made by MATRIX VISION GmbH.
The advantage of this concept for the programmer is that a developed application runs without the need for any
major modifications to the various image processing products made by MATRIX VISION GmbH. You can also
incorporate new driver versions, which are available for download free of charge on our website: http://www.←-
