164 PI-MAX/PI-MAX2 System Manual Version 5.F
Application Software
The Princeton Instruments WinView/32 or WinSpec/32 software package provides
comprehensive image acquisition, display, processing, and archiving functions so you
can perform complete data acquisition and analysis without having to rely upon third-
party software. This software package provides reliable control over all Roper
Scientific cameras, regardless of array format and architecture, via an exclusive
universal programming interface (PVCAM
®
). Also featured are snap-ins and macro
record functions to permit easy user customization of any function or sequence.
PVCAM is the standard software interface for cooled CCD cameras from Roper
Scientific. It is a library of functions that can be used to control and acquire data from
the camera when a custom application is being written. For example, in the case of
Windows, PVCAM is a dynamic link library (DLL). Also, it should be understood
that PVCAM is solely for camera control and image acquisition, not for image
processing. PVCAM places acquired images into a buffer, where they can then be
manipulated using either custom written code or by extensions to other commercially
available image processing packages.
Scientific Imaging ToolKit™ (SITK™) is a collection of LabVIEW
®
VIs for
scientific cameras and spectrographs. This third party software can be purchased
from Princeton Instruments.
