FlyCapture SDK Example Source Code

The FlyCapture SDK provides the following example applications to help developers get started in some basic camera programming tasks. The library definitions of the FlyCapture SDK differ between versions 1.x and 2.x. To assist users in upgrading their applications, most examples are provided in versions using both libraries, while illustrating parallel functionality. Most examples are written in C++. In some cases, C, C# and VB.NET samples are also provided. To learn more about each example and view its source code, follow the links in the table below. Examples are also described in the FlyCapture SDK Help, and are accessible either from the Windows Start Menu (All Programs > Point Grey Research Inc. > PGR FlyCapture or FlyCapture2 > Examples) or in the \src folder of the PGR FlyCapture or FlyCapture2 installation directory.

Example Name	Brief Description
FlyCaptureTest	Reports information related to all compatible cameras attached to the host system, captures a series of images from a single camera, records the amount of time taken to grab them, and saves the last image in the current directory.
FlyCap	The FlyCap example is the main Point Grey Research application used to capture and save images from single lens cameras.
FlyCap2MFC	Equivalent to the FlyCap2 example program, except it uses the Microsoft Foundation Class Library to implement the graphical user interface.
FlyCapture2GUI	Contains the same source code that is used for the Camera Selection and Camera Control dialogs in the FlyCapture2 FlyCap Demo Program.
AsyncTriggerEx	Demonstrates some of the basic asynchronous trigger capabilities of compatible Point Grey Imaging Products.
CustomBuffersEx	Demonstrates the custom buffer and "locking" functionality available in the FlyCapture library.
CustomImageEx	Demonstrates how to configure a Point Grey Imaging Product to output custom sized images.
ExtendedShutterEx	Demonstrates how to enable and calculate extended integration times for applicable Point Grey Imaging Products.
HighDynamicRangeEx	Demonstrates the use of the High Dynamic Range (HDR) functionality.
ImageEventEx	Shows how to implement partial image event notification, which enables you to access to image data as it arrives in the PC's memory - before the entire image is available.
MessageLoggingEx	Demonstrates how to receive messages from each camera and for each bus event.
MultipleCameraEx	Illustrates how to grab a series of images from multiple synchronized cameras.
MultipleCameraWriteToDiskEx	Performs the same tasks as MultipleCameraEx. Additionally, it shows how to use the Win32 API to write images to disk as fast as possible.
SaveImageToFlashEx	Reports information related to all compatible cameras attached to the host system, captures an image from a single camera, and either saves it to the cameras flash memory, or retrieves an image from flash and saves it to disk.
SaveToAviEx	Streams a specified number of raw images into a windows .avi file and then converts the raw .avi into a colour .avi.
SerialPortExDlg	Illustrates how to transmit and receive characters by using the camera's serial buffer system.
