This page contains a variety of downloadable extensions for V++ or VSpec, including hardware controllers and imaging applications.

AutoCollect time lapse imaging application

AutoCollect is a V++ and VSpec extension that provides comprehensive time lapse imaging capabilities. It provides for automatically triggered image capture at specified intervals with a logging capability and several options for both automatic and manual termination. The captured images may be automatically saved to disk as they arrive or may be stored in memory as a movie sequence.

The AutoCollect extension allows you to use a video device or a PVCAM camera as the imaging device.

Text Overlay application

The Text Overlay extension provides the ability to write text onto an image with a choice of sizes, fonts and backgrounds. The text is written destructively, meaning that it is "burned" into the image pixels rather than being a graphical overlay. This is useful when you wish to permanently brand an image or ensure that the overlay will be visible in any imaging application.
