To further enhance the use and function of its high speed imaging products, Photron announced a new version (version number 3.3.9) of its award winning Photron Fastcam Viewer (PFV) camera control - image review/editing - download software.
According to Photron, PFV was the first camera control software to provide:
- Wrappers for both the popular LabVIEW and MATLAB programs.
- Direct support for National Instruments USB data acquisition (DAQ) modules to enable easy synchronization of external analog data, such as accelerometers and pressure sensors, with the recorded high speed video data.
- Integrated optional motion analysis software for the automated tracking of points of interest within a recorded slow motion video sequence.
This version includes several new functions added to the version 3.3.9 including:
- Easy adoption of popular image aspect ratios, including 16:9 HD and the more familiar 4:3 aspect ratio. These can be selected by simply selecting your desired frame rate, then dragging your mouse around the screen to select the area you will record.
- Playback control buttons directly on the video window you are reviewing.
- The displayed temporal units can be changed to your preferred choice, such as degrees of rotation or any other application specific unit.
- The hardware image trigger now utilizes a histogram to make it even easier for you to set the camera up so that it triggers automatically when your predetermined event occurs in the image window.
- There is a new PIV Focus Mode for quick setup and alignment of Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) applications.
- The 'Cycle View' plug-in makes it easy to select the precise images from a repetitive cycle, such as engine combustion, that you display every cycle.
