------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) 10 PP1 Release Notes (lastminute) December, 2014 (c) Copyright Matrox Electronic Systems Ltd., 1992-2014. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This file presents last minute information that did not make it into the manuals or on-line help, except for last minute hardware-specific information. For hardware-specific information, see the release note specific for your driver. The information found in this file overrides your formally documented material. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contents 1.

License generation ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Location of examples (in the help file) - In the help file, the location information written at the top of examples might not be up-to-date. Use MIL Example Launcher to find an example on disk. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Inquiring the results of a macro - When inquiring the results of some macros (for example, MdispControl with M_BACKGROUND_COLOR and M_RGB888()), the value is returned in its raw encoded form, which you must interpret. In some cases, MIL provides a macro for its interpretation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Matrox Intellicam limitations - When using Matrox Intellicam to grab images from a camera, the frame rate displayed might be lower than the actual grab rate, especially when grabbing at high frame rates. To obtain the grab rate, you should grab into an image that does not have a display attribute. Note that when grabbing into an image without a display attribute, the frame rate might still be lower than the grab rate due to limitations of the hardware being used. - An exception can occur when using Matrox Intellicam with a Camera Link camera accessed using the GenICam CLProtocol, and you try modifying the DCF while the feature browser is open. To modify the DCF, ensure the feature browser is not open. - An exception can occur when using Matrox Intellicam with a GigE Vision camera, and you try clicking on "Dump State to DCF" in the "Camera Configuration" tab of the DCF. This occurs when one of the parameters is bigger then 255 bytes (typically LUTs). To prevent the exception, delete those parameters before saving the DCF. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. MilPerfViewer - When using MilPerfViewer (Matrox Performance Monitor) under a non US-English operating system, it is possible that you are not able to see Matrox performance counters. In such cases, it is possible to use the Microsoft PerfMon utility to see the Matrox performance counters. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. PDF MIL Release Notes - If you are using the 64-bit version of Windows 7 or Windows 8 with Internet Explorer 10, you might encounter an issue that prevents you from opening MIL Release Notes that redirect you to a PDF file. If this is the case, try using a previous version of Internet Explorer (IE8 or IE9) or contact Matrox Imaging support. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. License generation - Selecting "MIL development" as the "License Type" to "Generate" is not supported. A MIL development license comes as a USB dongle included in the MIL development package.
