Grabber generation support

• 1st generation grabbers are supported only by the Vision Point up to ver 6.4.2 (Vision Point 2024.1 SP 2).
• 2nd generation grabbers are supported by both Vision Point legacy and Vision Point II.
  • Ensure that the frame grabber is updated with the latest firmware to operate correctly with Vision Point II.
  • To continue developing existing applications built with the legacy Vision Point SDK, you can use the API adapter (KYFGLibA).
• 3rd generation grabbers are supported only by the Vision Point II SDK, but can also be accessed through the API adapter (KYFGLibA).

The API adapter

The adapter is a tool for providing backward compatibility with older software written using legacy Vision Point libraries and for assisting with the transition to the new VP II SDK.

Refer to the API sample "KYFGLib_Adapter_Example" that comes within Vision Point II software package.

Frequent questions

• Q: Can I use different generation frame grabbers on the same PC?
• A: Yes, you can use different generation frame grabbers in the same PC simultaneously, taking into account principal migration points.

• Q: Some API function that I used in Vision Point API are not working correctly.
• A: The Vision Point II API may not support all functions of the Vision Point API, but we are continuously working on it. If you encounter any issues, please do not hesitate to specify which exact function is missing or not working as expected.

• Q: How can I easily change my code built for Vision Point API to work with Vision Point II API?
• A: Just swap the connected library from KYFGLib to KYFGLibA and add required env. such as "KAYA_VISION_POINT_2_LIB_PATH" and "KAYA_VISION_POINT_2_INCLUDE_PATH". This will automatically redirect your application to use the Vision Point II API via the adapter.

• Q: Can I use Vision Point Python API samples with Vision Point II API engine?
• A: Yes, you can use API adapter for the Python samples. Just insert before line: os.environ["WithAdapter"] = "1" before KYFGLib import *

• Q: I have Chameleon II and Komodo II\III grabber. Which VP version shoud I use?
