IMAGE ACQUISITION
All 3D cameras from Automation Technology follow the GenICam standard which means that the image acquisition of the AT cameras in CVB is not different as with any other GenICam device.
C-style API
Within the installation directory of CVB you can find a variety of example tutorials for the different programming languages that demonstrate the main concepts of CVB, including how to:
- load driver and continuously acquire images (e.g. Image Manager → GrabConsole & SizeableDisplay)
- run multiple cameras in parallel (e.g. Image Manager → CSharp → MultiCam)
- set paramaters of the camera (e.g. Hardware → GenICam → GenICamExample)
Please take a look at the corresponding section in the CVB User Guide.
Object Oriented APIs
New users are encouraged to use the object oriented APIs of CVB. Getting Started Guides include basic image acquisition concepts and can be found for CVB.Net and CVBpy in this forum. Tutorials for CVB++ can be found within the directory of current CVB installations.

CVBpy(https://forum.commonvisionblox.com/t/getting-started-with-cvbpy/241)
However, please be aware that not all functionality of the C-API is covered by the new APIs yet! If you encounter missing tools, be aware that you may have to combine the object oriented wrappers with CVB’s classic C-API.
