Activate this radio button to load images from files. You can enter the names of image files in the text field. Multiple file names are separated by a semicolon “;”.
If an image with no path name or a relative path name is given, the image files are searched in the directories specified by the environment variables HALCONROOT and HALCONIMAGES.
You can also enter the full path of an image directory to specify all images of the given directory. If the check box Recursive is ticked, the images of all subdirectories are specified as well.
Pressing Return will display the first of the specified images in the active graphics window.
The buttons Select File(s) ... and Select Directory ... open a file browser to select multiple images or an image directory, respectively. After clicking OK in the file browser, the text field is updated with the selected items, and the first image is displayed in the active graphics window.
Use the entry Snap or Live in the menu Acquisition, or the corresponding tool bar buttons to view the selected images one after another.
Activate this radio button to acquire images from an image acquisition interface. The drop-down list contains the list of all supported image acquisition interfaces.
Clicking Auto-detect Interfaces probes the image acquisition interfaces in turn, and removes those interfaces from the list that do not respond. It is recommended to save your program before probing the image acquisition interfaces.
