We have designed a software API to be used by all Hamamatsu digital cameras; it is named DCAM-API (Digital CAMera Application Programming Interface). The purpose of DCAM-API is:
- To standardize camera control and functionality of all Hamamatsu digital cameras.
- To bridge all the different RS-422/LVDS, CamLink, RS-232, IEEE-1394, USB software API and interfaces (Ex. Phoenix SDK, IFC, File I/O Serial, OHCI 1394, USB EHCI, etc.) into one defined set of API functions.
- To allow for future expandability of the API with limitless and seamless integration of digital cameras and interfaces without the need for re-building the host application to support them.
- Simple, yet powerful set of functions to control all the necessary features and data acquisition control functions of our cameras.
- Dynamic detection of camera features and control.
DCAM-API is currently supported on Microsoft Windows (32-bit and 64-bit) and Apple Macintosh OSX. Please use the links below to learn about and download the latest official driver modules for your platform.
