Versatile software interface designed with the user in mind
Xeneth handles all Xenics infrared cameras regardless of wavelength sensitivity, interface, resolution and image format. The default view of the GUI (Graphical User Interface) will only show the key control parameters next to the infrared camera image. Upon changing the view from beginner, over expert to guru, extra settings become visible and adjustable.
An entire set of processing and post-processing tools is available to extract all useful information and to optimize your infrared images. When using a thermally calibrated camera (for selected cameras only!), the software is capable of doing a complete radiometric analysis (thermography) that takes object, environmental and optic characteristics into account.
Furthermore Xeneth lets you export recorded infrared images to common image formats which can be viewed and analyzed in 3rd party software. Another new feature of Xeneth (available from version 2.7) is the extended calibration wizard which lets you easily optimize image correction calibration data without using real-time camera images.
Strong connection with the Software Development Kit (SDK)
The link between GUI and SDK is stronger than ever in Xeneth . We provide tooltips with programming names for all Xenics’ camera features, giving developers complete access to all needed information to control the infrared camera. Moreover, the existing documentation is extended with detailed guidelines, extra samples and additional documentation on image filters.
Versatile Software Development Kit with Python bindings
The Xeneth SDK provides a C/C++ interface extended with C# and Python bindings for all Xenics infrared cameras. The basic philosophy is similar to that of the GUI. On the one hand, it offers an extended set of basic application examples making it straightforward to build custom applications. On the other hand, the SDK offers access to all documents and details required by demanding developers.
The Xeneth SDK is tested on all recent versions of Windows – starting from Windows 7 up to Windows 11. For C and C++, binaries are built for Ubuntu and Fedora Linux distributions.
