The iQ-Drive API offers a comprehensive yet intuitive programming interface for controlling Image Engineering's motor-driven products.
It is designed to integrate image quality measurement devices, such as lightSTUDIO with the moving targets option (lightSTUDIO-M), motor-driven camera bench (iQ-Bench-M), motor-driven vertical chart mount (iQ-Chartmount-VM), camera hexapod or the robot arm (iQ-Automator) into your environment. The included desktop software, iQ-Drive, provides a convenient way to operate these devices out of the box.
The iQ-Drive API enables you to write your own software and implement operational sequences tailored to your specifications while still leveraging all the advantages of our motorized devices. Integration into other existing software systems is also a possibility.
The extensive API documentation is accompanied by practical C++ code examples that guide you through the most common motorization use cases.
