1 About this manual
1.1 Composition of the manual
The mvBlueCOUGAR manual is based on a modular concept and contains several individual books. That means like in many object-oriented programming languages you have for each functionality your own "class". Instead of classes, you have books. For example, if you want to know anything about the GUI based applications, then you have to go to the Application Usage (p.109) book. If you want to know how images are acquired with the mvBlueCOUGAR, have a look in the respective programming language chapter.
Here is a short summary about all books of the mvBlueCOUGAR manual:
• The manual starts with technical data of the mvBlueCOUGAR like sensors as well as a quick start chapter. Furthermore, it describes the advanced features (p. 90) of the mvBlueCOUGAR-X. Afterwards, you will find the different books:
• Application Usage (p. 109)
– The mvBlueCOUGAR can be managed via user interface. There are two programs to do this:
*
wxPropView (p.109)
*
mvGigEConfigure (p. 142)
*
mvIPConfigure (p. 145)
*
mvDeviceConfigure (p.149)
• GenICam and Advanced Features (p.160)
– The mvBlueCOUGAR is a GenICam / GigE Vision compliant camera. This chapter introduces the
GenICam and the Advanced features of the mvBlueCOUGAR-X.
• DirectShow developers (p. 195)
– This is the documentation of the MATRIX VISION DirectShow_acquire interface.
• Use cases (p. 233)
– This book offers solutions and explanations for standard use cases.
• Troubleshooting (p.200)
Note
For C, C++, .NET developers, there are separate mvIMPACT Acquire manuals
• "mvIMPACT_Acquire_API_CPP_manual.chm",
• "mvIMPACT_Acquire_API_C_manual.chm", and
• "mvIMPACT_Acquire_API_NET_manual.chm"
available as downloads from our website http://www.matrix-vision.com. The manuals contain chapter about
• how to link and build applications using mvIMPACT Acquire,
• how the log output for "mvIMPACT Acquire" devices is configured and how it works in general,
• how to create your own installer packages for Windows and Linux, and
• the general mvIMPACT Acquire API documentation.

1.2 How to get started?
1.2.1 Introduction
This chapter gives you a short overview, how to get started with mvBlueCOUGAR and where to find the necessary information in the manual. It will also explain or link to the concepts behind the driver and the image acquisition. Furthermore, it shows you how to get start programming (p. 7) own applications.
1.2.2 Basics
1.2.2.1 Driver concept
The driver supplied with the MATRIX VISION product represents the port between the programmer and the hardware. The driver concept of MATRIX VISION provides a standardized programming interface to all image processing products (excluding mvBlueLYNX) made by MATRIX VISION GmbH. The advantage of this concept for the programmer is that a developed application runs without the need for any major modifications to the various image processing products made by MATRIX VISION GmbH. You can also incorporate new driver versions, which are available for download free of charge on our website: https←-
://www.matrix-vision.com.
The following diagram shows a schematic structure of the driver concept:
Figure 1: Driver concept
MATRIX VISION GmbH
4 CONTENTS
• 1 Part of any mvIMPACT Acquire driver installation package (Windows).
• 2 Separately available for 32 bit and 64 bit. Requires at least one installed driver package.
• 3 See 2, but requires an installed version of the mvBlueFOX driver.
• 4 Part of the NeuroCheck installer but requires at least one installed frame grabber driver.
• 5 Part of the mvIMPACT SDK installation. However, new designs should use the .NET libs that are now part of mvIMPACT Acquire ("mv.impact.acquire.dll"). The namespace "mv.impact.acquire" of
"mv.impact.acquire.dll" provides a more natural and more efficient access to the same features
as contained in the namespace "mvIMPACT_NET.acquire" of "mvIMPACT_NET.dll", which is why the latter one should only be used for backward compatibility but NOT when developing a new application.
• 6 Part of Micro-Manager.
1.2.2.2 NeuroCheck support
A couple of devices are supported by NeuroCheck. However between NeuroCheck 5.x and NeuroCheck 6.x there has been a breaking change in the internal interfaces. Therefore also the list of supported devices differs from one version to another and some additional libraries might be required.
For NeuroCheck 5.x the following devices are supported:
Device Additional software needed mvTITAN-G1 mvSDK driver for mvTITAN/mvGAMMA devices mvTITAN-CL mvSDK driver for mvTITAN/mvGAMMA devices mvGAMMA-CL mvSDK driver for mvTITAN/mvGAMMA devices mvBlueFOX mvIMPACT Acquire driver for mvBlueFOX devices, "NCUSBmvBF.dll"
For NeuroCheck 6.0 the following devices are supported:
Device Additional software needed mvTITAN-G1 mvIMPACT Acquire driver for mvTITAN/mvGAMMA de-
vices
mvTITAN-CL mvIMPACT Acquire driver for mvTITAN/mvGAMMA de-
vices
mvGAMMA-CL mvIMPACT Acquire driver for mvTITAN/mvGAMMA de-
vices
mvHYPERION-CLb mvIMPACT Acquire driver for mvHYPERION devices
Every other mvIMPACT Acquire compliant device mvIMPACT Acquire driver for the corresponding device
family, "mv.impact.acquire.NeuroCheck6.←-
dll" (comes with the driver package, but the driver
package must be installed AFTER installing NeuroCheck 6
For NeuroCheck 6.1 the following devices are supported:
Device Additional software needed mvTITAN-G1 mvIMPACT Acquire driver for mvTITAN/mvGAMMA de-
vices
mvTITAN-CL mvIMPACT Acquire driver for mvTITAN/mvGAMMA de-
vices
mvGAMMA-CL mvIMPACT Acquire driver for mvTITAN/mvGAMMA de-
vices
mvHYPERION-CLb mvIMPACT Acquire driver for mvHYPERION devices
MATRIX VISION GmbH
1.2 How to get started? 5
Every other mvIMPACT Acquire compliant device mvIMPACT Acquire driver for the corresponding device
family, "mv.impact.acquire.NeuroCheck6_←-
1.dll" (comes with the driver package, but the driver
package must be installed AFTER installing NeuroCheck
6.1
1.2.2.3 VisionPro support
Every mvIMPACT Acquire driver package under Windows comes with an adapter to VisionPro from Cognex. The installation order does not matter. After the driver package and VisionPro has been installed, the next time VisionPro is started it will allow selecting the mvIMPACT Acquire device. No additional steps are needed.
MATRIX VISION devices that also comply with the GigE Vision standard don't need any software at all, but can also use VisionPro's built-in GigE Vision support.
1.2.2.4 HALCON support
HALCON comes with built-in support for mvIMPACT Acquire compliant devices, so once a device driver has been installed for the mvIMPACT Acquire device, it can also be operated from a HALCON environment using the corre­sponding acquisition interface. No additional steps are needed.
MATRIX VISION devices that also comply with the GigE Vision standard don't need any software at all, but can also use HALCON's built-in GigE Vision support.
As some mvIMPACT Acquire device driver packages also come with a GenTL compliant interface, these can also be operated through HALCON's built-in GenTL acquisition interface.
1.2.2.5 LabVIEW support
Every mvIMPACT Acquire compliant device can be operated under LabVIEW through an additional set of VIs which is shipped by MATRIX VISION as a separate installation ("mvLabVIEW Acquire").
MATRIX VISION devices that also comply with the GigE Vision or USB3 Vision standard don't need any additional software at all, but can also be operated through LabVIEW's GigE Vision or USB3 Vision driver packages.
1.2.2.6 DirectShow support
Every mvIMPACT Acquire compliant device driver package comes with an interface to DirectShow. In order to be usable from a DirectShow compliant application, devices must first be registered for DirectShow support. How to this is explained here (p.196).
1.2.2.7 Micro-Manager support
Every mvIMPACT Acquire compliant device can be operated under https://micro-manager.org when using mvIMPACT Acquire 2.18.0 or later and at least Micro-Manager 1.4.23 build AFTER 15.12.2016. The adapter needed is part of the Micro-Manager release. Additional information can be found here: https←-

1.2.2.8 Software concept
As shown in Figure 2 the "mvIMPACT Acquire" interface is stacked on the GigE Vision (p. 222) or USB3 Vision (p. 232) and GenICam (p. 220) layers. The "mvIMPACT Acquire" interface internally uses the GenICam (p. 220) runtime libs, so that it can be considered as an user application written with the GenICam (p. 220) interface.
Figure 2: Software concept
This behavior has several advantages:
• The mvBlueCOUGAR can be used like any other "mvIMPACT Acquire" device.
• The current version of the mvGenTL-Acquire driver is meant to work with every GigE Vision (p. 222) and every USB3 Vision (p.232) compliant device.
• Developers either can use the generic GenICam (p. 220) properties or the "mvIMPACT Acquire" properties when working with a MATRIX VISION device (devices from other vendors can be operated with the "GenI←- Cam" interface only).

1.2 How to get started? 7
Note
We recommend to work with the GenICam interface layout (p. 135), because as it allows the most flexible access to the device features.
Please change the property "InterfaceLayout" with wxPropView (p. 109) to select the preferred interface layout. For more information please have a look at chapter
• Changing interface to GenICam or device specific (p.135), and
• GenICam (p. 220).
1.2.2.9 Image acquisition concept
The image acquisition is based on queues to avoid the loss of single images. With this concept you can acquire images via single acquisition or triggered acquisition. For detailed description of the acquisition concept, please have a look at "How the capture process works" in the "mvIMPACT_Acquire_API" manuals.
1.2.3 Installation
To start up the mvBlueCOUGAR properly you have to follow these steps: (Please follow the links for detailed descriptions.)
• Install driver software.
– Windows (p.39)
– Linux (p.49)
• Start the hardware (p.55).
• Setup the hardware (p.57).
• Install GigE Vision capture filter (p. 142).
• Configure the mvBlueCOUGAR (p. 109)
