DCAM-SDK4

Software Development Kit for the integration of Hamamatsu cameras with custom software.  DCAM-API absolves various differences among Hamamatsu cameras so basic control functions are common to all models.  Camera differences are described by DCAM “Properties”.  These DCAM “Properties” can be queried and used to control all camera functions and parameters.  Because of this concept, developers can build applications without knowing the precise Property types and values.  If your system requires more specific Property support, DCAM-SDK4 includes Property Lists for all major Hamamatsu cameras.  DCAM-SDK4 also supports timestamping and high speed image recording directly to hard disk.

The DCAM-SDK4 includes header and library files, API documentation and sample code. The comprehensive sample set enables developers to quickly incorporate Hamamatsu cameras into custom applications. Samples demonstrate all facets of camera control: initialization, parameter handling, image buffering and acquisition, capture synchronization, data storage, etc. For GPU processing, a simple CUDA sample is also included. The current DCAM-SDK4 supports C/C++ with increased language support expected in the near future.

DCIMG-SDK

Software Development Kit for reading DCIMG file format within custom software.  DCAM-API supports hard disk image recording in a special file format designed for high speed data storage.  This file format is called DCIMG.  The DCIMG format, when used in conjunction with special camera functions, can minimize data storage requirements.  For example, file size can be considerably reduced when using the Data Extraction feature of the ORCA-Flash 4.0 V3.  Only the necessary data is encoded in the DCIMG file which can be decoded to a full resolution image by DCIMG-SDK.

The DCIMG-SDK includes header and library files, API documentation and sample code. The current DCIMG-SDK supports C/C++ with increased language support expected in the near future.
