Description
Intuitive, Versatile, And Extendable Integrated Development Environment For Machine Vision Applications
Matrox Design Assistant X is an integrated development environment (IDE) for Microsoft Windows where vision applications are created by constructing an intuitive flowchart instead of writing traditional program code. In addition to building a flowchart, the IDE enables users to design a graphical web-based operator interface for the application.
Matrox Design Assistant X can operate independent of hardware, allowing users to choose any computer with CoaXPress, GigE Vision, or USB3 Vision cameras and get the processing power needed. Image capture from CoaXPress cameras requires the use of a Matrox Rapixo CXP frame grabber. Matrox Design Assistant X works with multiple cameras all within the same project, or per project running concurrently and independently from one another, platform permitting. This field-proven software is also a perfect match for a Matrox Imaging vision controller or smart camera. Matrox Design Assistant X offers the freedom to choose the ideal platform for any vision project.
