Highlights
eGrabber Playlink description
eGrabber Playlink is a game-changing feature that allows software developers to test and validate their code without the need for physical acquisition cards and cameras. This virtual frame grabber simulates the image acquisition process, enabling developers to work independently of the machine’s physical environment.
Playlink is a standard GenTL (Generic Transport Layer) producer capable of acquiring images recorded by eGrabber Recorder from a real-world acquisition system. It allows developers to focus on the machine vision software application and its validation without worrying about the complexities of image acquisition.
eGrabber Playlink can be used free of charge within eGrabber Studio, which is a great way to learn and evaluate Playlink. A “PC4401 eGrabber Recorder and Playlink” license is required when integrating eGrabber Playlink’s API into your own software application.
Note: A “PC4401 eGrabber Recorder and Playlink” license gives access to both eGrabber Recorder and eGrabber Playlink.

eGrabber 25.03
- Extended support for Horizontal Image Flipping function
This release of eGrabber adds the horizontal image flipping function to the “1-camera, line-scan” firmware variant of PC1633 Coaxlink Quad G3 and PC1633-LH Coaxlink Quad G3 LH and to the “1-camera, line-scan” and “1-df-camera, line-scan” firmware variants of PC1635 Coaxlink Quad G3 DF.
The horizontal image flipping function also known as horizontal mirroring, is a process in which an image is flipped along its vertical axis. This means that the left side of the image becomes the right side and vice versa.
- New GenApi terminal
This release of eGrabber adds a GenApi terminal to each GenTL module. This feature is reserved to advanced users and camera makers who need to perform specific operations on the GenApi nodes of a module or to execute Euresys scripts on the current grabber. - New @Configuration category to GenApi modules
This release of eGrabber adds the @Configuration category to GenApi modules (visible from the Expert level). This new category exposes the GenApi runtime settings of a module (including documentation for each configuration node). The @Configuration category is reserved to advanced users and camera makers.
- Improved high DPI support
Starting with this release, the Memento application adapts the scaling for high DPI displays.
This improves the readability on high DPI screens. - Improved analyzer view
Starting with this release, the Analyzer view can be configured with a maximum number of visible analyzer lines.
When the number of analyzer lines exceeds the configured limit, they can be vertically scrolled using the keyboard arrow keys or the mouse scroll wheel combined with Shift key.
