Install.txt

Basic usage: copy the DLL file in the ImageJ directory. Copy the
CLASS files in a plugin's directory. The Coreco DLL's that came with
the Bandit-II must be somewhere the system can find them (the
Coreco and Sapera installation takes care of this). Two
configuration files, Bandit.cca and Bandit.cvi must be present in
the ImageJ directory. The default provided in this package set the
board to the standard CCIR (Europe) acquisition parameters.
You should replace them if you use a different standard.

Upon restarting ImageJ, there will be a new plugin, called
GrabVideo, which will attempt to display live video from your
Bandit frame grabber. If you succeed, you will notice that the
refresh rate is less than real time, but it is decent.
From the live-display window, you may select a region of interest,
and adjust brightness-contrast (including the option to highlight
saturated pixels) before either launching the acquisition or
grabbing individual frames. In the acquisition window you will
select the number of frames and the delay between frames. Choose a
delay of 1 frame for real time video. Since the Bandit-II used DMA
for memory transfer, full frame at a video rate can be achieved up
to the available system memory.

The structure of the native interface is basically the same as the
original JNIAkiz. There are a few extra functions due to the
development of a more user friendly interface.
In porting to Windows, there are a few minor changes regarding
type definitions, and the implementation of a timer (millisecond)
using the Windows MultiMedia library (WINMM.LIB must be a part of
your project. This file lives around your windows/system
directory). You also need the files from the Coreco library
(corapi.lib, and related header files) to compile the project.
The main changes concern the use of a different frame grabber than
the Scion LG-3 of the original JNIAkiz. This results in changes in
the initialization process and in the way the code tests for new
frames and transfers them to system memory.
