The PixeLINK 4.0 API is available to you via the assembly PixeLINK.API.dll. Assuming the environment variable ProgramFiles is set properly (most likely it will be set to C:\Program Files), and you installed the SDK to the default location, the assembly will be in %ProgramFiles%\PixeLINK\dotnet.


You can find information in the PixeLINK .NET documentation.


Example code written in VB.NET, C#, and Managed C++ is available. We highly recommend you take a look at these to help you get started.


Some important methods of the API class that will be useful to you are:


PixeLINK.API Class Methods
Description

Initialize

Initialize a camera for use

IsSuccess

Takes a ReturnCode and returns whether it indicates success or failure. (If you are familiar with the C API, this is similar to the API_SUCCESS macro). 


Here is a quick introduction to the key Pixelink API functions.


And, don't forget that Pixelink support is available at [email protected] if you have problems or get stuck.
