Sentech SDK supports Python.
Please check version of Python then download necessary files from software download.
*It is necessary to install Sentech SDK to control camera with Python.
The camera settings on “Romote Device” are UserSet save settings.
The camera settings on other than “Remote Device” do not save to UserSet.
The camera settings on other than “Remote Device” need to set/select when it is necessary, or
it is necessary to make software with Sentech SDK, to save settings.
The sample programs of Sentech SDK are copied in below folder if installation folder did not change while Sentech SDK installation:
C:\Program Files\OMRON_SENTECH\SentechSDK\Development
When “Development” folder does not exist, re-install Sentech SDK with “Complete” installation type.
The folder for sample programs:
C:\Program Files\OMRON_SENTECH\SentechSDK\v(version)\Development\Sample
* The sample programs are zip format file. Please copy it to writable folder on PC then extracts it.
The folder for manual/help file:
C:\Program Files\OMRON_SENTECH\SentechSDK\v(version)\Development\Doc
When selecting “Off” at “Exposure Mode” under “Acquisition Control” under “Remote Device”, expousre time that is keep maximum frame rate, set automatically.
The frame rate becomes high (fast) when reducing image resolution, and one frame period of time becomes shorten.
Then shorten exposure time makes dark image.
To fixed exposure time, selects “Timed” at “Exposure Mode” under “Acquisition Control” under “Remote Device” after fixed exposure time with this method, brightness of image is consistent and control by “Exposure Time” while reducing image resolution.
The drawing function can be use with v1.1.1 or later version of StViewer.
*v1.0.8 or older version of StViewer does not support drawing function.
The drawing menu is display when selecting “Drawing” under “Tools and Docking Windows” under “View” on menu of StViewer.
Sets “True” at “Enable Drawing On Saving Image” under “Drawing Tool” under “ImageDisplayWnd”.
The image with drawing data can be save when image saving by selecting “PreviewImage” after right click on preview image.
The image with drawing data cannot be save when image saving by using file menu or save botton on tool bar on StViewer, and movie file.
The validated development environment is IDLE including Python.
USB3 Vision cameras and GigE Vision cameras are GenICam standard cameras.
GenICam standard based “Sentech SDK”, “StViewer” of Sentech SDK can use USB3 Vision cameras and GigE Vision cameras.
Please follow below steps:
1. Selects “Start Recording” under “File” on menu.
2. Please specifies below settings, sets file name after select “Add” then select “OK”.
3. Please check movie file is making after acquire image.
File Format | AVI1 → Maximum file size: 2GB AVI2 → Maximum file size: 1TB |
Compression | Motion JPEG Uncompressed |
Quality Value | Quality setting for Motion JPEG (100 is best quality) |
Reserve Y | Vertical flip image |
Frame Rate | Frame rate setting for play movie |
Maximum Frame Count Per File | Maximum Frame Count Per File |
Please refers settings for time unit.
Example: 5 minutes movie with 30 fps image
File Format | AVI1 |
Compression | MPEG |
Quality Value | 50 |
Reserve Y | False |
Frame Rate | 30 |
Maximum Frame Count Per File | 9,000 |
Time of movie calculates by “Maximum Frame Count Per File / Frame Rate”.
Please follow below step:
Camera name:
Checks “DeviceDisplayName” under “DeviceInforamtion” under “LocalDevice”.
Device version (firmware version):
Checks “DeviceVersion” under “DeviceInformation” under “LocalDevice”.
* GigE Vision camera includes FPGA verison.
