Interfacing and Demo Applications

There are some demo and interfacing applications available on our software download section.

Graphical Stream Analyzer Lite

A small application for a getting started with the camera.

Visualizer

A more powerful tool where all registers can be read and written and which shows the amplitude and distance image. It can also be used as a getting started tool to get familiar with the Sentis-ToF-M100.

Interface Abstraction Library

A library for Windows and Linux which abstracts the TCP and UDP interface protocol of the camera. Using this library the user is able to interface the camera using a simple API without awareness of the underlying TCP and UDP protocols.

Firmware Development Package

There are two packages available which allows the user to bring its own application on the Sentis-ToF-M100 device. The first package is based on our Blacksheep OS operating system. The other one is based on uClinux.

• VDSP++ Development Package: For the software and the manual please refer to our download section.
• uClinux Development Package
