1.2.2.4 LabVIEW support
Every mvIMPACT Acquire compliant device can be operated under LabVIEW through an additional set of VIs which
is shipped by MATRIX VISION as a separate installation ("mvLabVIEW Acquire").
MATRIX VISION devices that also comply with the GigE Vision or USB3 Vision standard don't need any additional
software at all, but can also be operated through LabVIEW's GigE Vision or USB3 Vision driver packages.
1.2.2.5 DirectShow support
Every mvIMPACT Acquire compliant device driver package comes with an interface to DirectShow. In order to be
usable from a DirectShow compliant application, devices must first be registered for DirectShow support. How to
this is explained here (p. 134).
1.2.2.6 Micro-Manager support
Every mvIMPACT Acquire compliant device can be operated under https://micro-manager.org when
using mvIMPACT Acquire 2.18.0 or later and at least Micro-Manager 1.4.23 build AFTER 15.12.2016. The
adapter needed is part of the Micro-Manager release. Additional information can be found here: https←-

1.2.3 Image acquisition concept
The image acquisition is based on queues to avoid the loss of single images. With this concept you can acquire im-
ages via single acquisition or triggered acquisition. For detailed description of the acquisition concept, please have
a look at "How the capture process works" in the mvIMPACT_Acquire_API manual matching the programming
language you are working with.
1.2.4 Programming
To understand how to control the device and handle image data you will have a good introduction by reading the
main pages of the corresponding mvIMPACT Acquire interface reference. Additionally, please have a look at the
example programs. Several basic examples are available. For details please refer to
• the C API (p. 126) section
• the C++ API (p. 127) section
• the .NET API (p. 128) section
• the Python API (p. 129) section
depending on the programming language you will use for your application.
