7.1 Driver concept
The driver supplied with the MATRIX VISION product represents the port between the programmer
and the hardware. The driver concept of MATRIX VISION provides a standardized programming
interface to all image processing products (excluding mvBlueLYNX) made by MATRIX VISION
GmbH.
The advantage of this concept for the programmer is that a developed application runs without the
need for any major modifications to the various image processing products made by MATRIX
VISION GmbH. You can also incorporate new driver versions, which are available for download free
of charge on our website: http://www.matrix-vision.com.
