10 Chapter 1: Before you begin
Operating system
The Matrox 4Sight EV6 unit uses Microsoft Windows 10 IoT Enterprise (64-bit
version).
By default, secure boot is enabled in the UEFI1. When secure boot is enabled, all
drivers you install must be properly signed for operating with the secure boot. If
your drivers are not properly signed to operate with secure boot, you might have
driver issues (for example, driver issues with USB devices). Refer to the
documentation accompanying the operating system for more information.
Matrox Electronic Systems designed the Matrox 4Sight EV6 unit for a specific use
(such as, creating and installing software to process images). You may only use the
operating system and associated software on the unit for that use.
You may use other programs with the operating system as long as the other
programs:
• Directly support the manufacturer's specific use for the device, or
• Provide system utilities, resource management, or anti-virus or similar protection.
Software that provides consumer or business tasks or processes might not run on
the device. This includes email, word processing, spreadsheet, database,
scheduling, and personal finance software. The device can use Remote Desktop
Services to access such software running on a server.
If you acquired the operating system and associated software on the unit, or on a
disc or other media, a genuine Certificate of Authenticity label with a genuine
copy of the software identifies licensed software. To be valid, this label must be
affixed to the device, or included on or in Matrox Electronic Systems' software
packaging. If you receive the label separately, it is not valid. You should keep the
label on the device or packaging to prove that you are licensed to use the operating
system and associated software.
1. On legacy computers, this was referred to as a BIOS, and in some menu items
BIOS and UEFI are still used interchangeably.

Matrox Imaging software 11
The Microsoft operating system and associated software was designed for systems
that do not require fail-safe performance. You may not use the Microsoft operating
system and associated software in any device or system in which a malfunction of
the software would result in foreseeable risk of injury or death to any person. This
includes operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or communication
systems, and air traffic control.
Matrox Imaging software
Matrox 4Sight EV6 can be used with one or more Matrox Imaging software
products that support the unit. These are the Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) and
its derivatives (for example, MIL-Lite, Matrox Capture Assistant, and Matrox
Design Assistant). All Matrox software is supported under the version of Windows
installed on your unit.
Matrox Design
Assistant
The Matrox Design Assistant package is a flowchart-based, Windows program
that integrates a development environment for Matrox 4Sight EV6. It allows you
to create an imaging application without writing a single line of code. Application
development is visually a step-by-step approach, where each step is taken from an
existing toolbox and is configured through a series of dialog windows. An
application developed with Matrox Design Assistant can be deployed locally (on
the same computer as that used for application development) or remotely. Once
the project is built and deployed, it can run without the Matrox Design Assistant
interface being installed.
With Matrox Design Assistant, you can:
• Create your project as a series of steps using a flowchart.
• Test your project from your computer without any additional code editors or
compilers and without deploying (copying and running) your project on the target
computer (for example, Matrox 4Sight EV6).
• Design and layout a web page (operator view) to receive operator input and to
display your project's output.
• Run, terminate, and re-run the project on your target computer from within
Matrox Design Assistant.

12 Chapter 1: Before you begin
Imaging projects can:
• Grab images from your camera or use images from disk.
• Analyze images using several industry-proven image analysis and measurement
tools (for example, code and geometric model finder tools).
• Send and receive user-defined auxiliary I/O signals from the auxiliary I/O
terminal-block connector of your Matrox 4Sight EV6.
• Send and receive information from the serial ports of your Matrox 4Sight EV6.
• Send and receive information and save images across the network using the
TCP/IP protocol and communicate with external devices using the Modbus or
EtherNet/IP industrial protocol.
• Communicate with industrial robots to offer an integrated machine vision
solution.
MIL MIL is a high-level programming library with an extensive set of optimized
functions for image capture, processing, analysis, transfer, compression, display,
and archiving. Image processing operations include point-to-point, statistical,
spatial filtering, morphological, geometric transformation, and FFT operations.
Analysis operations support camera calibration, are performed with sub-pixel
accuracy, and include pattern recognition (normalized grayscale correlation and
Geometric Model Finder), blob analysis, edge extraction and analysis,
measurement, image registration, metrology, character recognition
(template-based and for both normal and dot-matrix text, feature based), code
recognition and verification (1D, 2D, and composite code types), bead
(continuous strips of material) inspection, 3D processing and analysis,
classification analysis, and color analysis.
MIL applications are easily ported to new Matrox hardware platforms and can be
designed to take advantage of multi-processing and multi-threading
environments.
MIL-Lite MIL-Lite is a subset of MIL. It includes all the MIL functions for image
acquisition, transfer, display control, and archiving. It also allows you to perform
processing operations that are typically useful to preprocess grabbed images.

Matrox Imaging software 13
Matrox Capture
Assistant
Matrox Capture Assistant is a utility that allows you to rapidly test and evaluate
the performance of virtually any GenICam-compliant device using MIL. GigE
Vision and USB3 Vision devices are currently supported. It can also be used to
configure Host controller settings (such as network adapters) and Matrox-specific
configuration.
Matrox Capture
Works
Matrox Capture Works is a utility that allows you to rapidly evaluate the
performance and functionality of virtually any GigE Vision-compliant camera or
3D sensor (or other device). Matrox Capture Works will list all detected GigE
Vision-compliant devices connected to your computer. It can start or stop
capturing images, display acquired images, save the last grabbed image, send a
software trigger, as well as browse and control the selected device's features. You
can view network adapter information (such as, the IP address, packet size,
inter-packet delay), view and change device information (such as, the user-defined
name of your device), vie w and change acquisition properties, and view acquisition
statistics. You can use it to configure the device and network adapter in static IP
mode (or point-to-point connection mode) or DHCP mode (or corporate
network mode). Matrox Capture Works uses the Matrox GigE Vision discovery
service to automatically detect when GigE Vision-compliant devices are added to
or removed from your network. Matrox Capture Works is distributed with MIL
and Matrox Design Assistant; it is also available with MIL-Lite.

14 Chapter 1: Before you begin
Power management and temperature control
ACPI technology Matrox 4Sight EV6 is compliant with advanced configuration and power
interface (ACPI) technology. This technology monitors how the UEFI, operating
system, and peripheral devices communicate with each other about power usage.
ACPI allows the Matrox 4Sight EV6 unit to conserve energy by transitioning
unused devices into lower power states. ACPI components gather information
about power consumption from the unit and pass this information onto the
operating system. The operating system then manages power tothe unit’s different
components on an as-needed basis.
The ACPI features implemented in the Matrox 4Sight EV6 unit include:
• The ability for the unit to perform a complete shut-down, in which it will be
powered off automatically.
• Support for an S4 sleeping state, for which the operating system can be enabled
or disabled to automatically wake the unit from hibernation mode.
• Support for processor power management.
• Support for temperature management using passive cooling techniques.
Enhanced Intel
SpeedStep
technology
The Intel Core i5 processor uses Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology (EIST) to
enable very high performance, while also meeting the power-conservation needs
of the Matrox 4Sight EV6 unit. The operating system dynamically adjusts
processor voltage and core frequency (CPU speed) based on the CPU’s demand
for processing power. This results in decreased average power consumption and
decreased average heat production.
