  • 1.1.0.32 - 08jun2026 - reliable high frame rate scanning

    • reliable scanning at high frame rates

      • the scanner no longer falls behind, loses synchronisation between the cameras, or drops the final frames of a scan - every scan now runs to completion with all cameras in step

    • smoother, more even capture

      • handing the finished scan image to the application no longer interrupts image collection, so the cameras keep running at full rate

    • add RingSize - per-camera capture buffer depth (default 32)

    • add WorkerRtPriority - run the capture worker at real-time priority for jitter-free scanning (default 8, set 0 for normal priority)

    • genuine frame loss (a real buffer overflow) is now clearly reported in the log

    • improved diagnostics - per-camera frame rate, stability and a timing breakdown (collect | resample | filter | queue | total)

    • SMARTedge - resolved a timing issue (raw image pass-through is now ignored)

    • fixed occasional incorrect timing values shown in the diagnostics

  • 1.1.0.31 - 29may2026 - simplified pixel mode and cross platform ini

    • simplified pixel mode (no calibration file)

      • output size is taken directly from the camera image

      • no resampler plugin is required

      • Size and TopLeft settings are ignored (calibrated mode is unchanged)

    • cameras of different width and height can be combined - images are placed side by side and padded to the tallest, empty areas filled black

    • cameras with different pixel depth are refused with a clear error instead of producing corrupted images

    • image filters (shading / flat-field correction) now also work in pixel mode

    • a 2DScanner.ini written on Windows works unchanged on Linux/SMARTedge - Windows .dll driver/filter/resampler names are mapped automatically

    • add get inifile command - returns the full path of the active 2DScanner.ini

    • fixed the CLAHE image-filter option

    • more stable and robust overall (crash, memory and timing fixes)

  • 1.1.0.30 - 26feb2026

    • AI analyzed - minor bugfix, cross platform optimization

  • 1.1.0.29 - 18feb2026
