Installing CamAcqJ
To install CamAcqJ:

    I recommend the Windows download, ImageJ 1.37 bundled with Java 1.5.0_09(18MB)
  • Download CamAcqJ-Install.zip and put it in the folder where ImageJ is installed. (Usually C:\Program Files\ImageJ) and unzip it.  This will result in the following files being placed in the the appropriate directory:

  • Install the QCam Drivers by running QCamInstall.exe. (ver 1.9.0, 7/28/06) (is shouild have unzipped into the ImageJ folder.
  • If you wish to compile plugins that use CamAcq, it is also necessary to copy ij.jar to jre\lib\ext. 
When you start ImageJ, the Plugins menu should contain an CamAcq_Examples entry containing:
  • CamAcqJ: Opens the user interface
  • JavaConsole: Opens a console that shows all Java output; useful for diagnosing problems.
  • CaptureImageByte: Captures an 8-bit image into an ImagePlus
  • CaptureImageShort: Captures an 12-bit image into an ImagePlus
  • CaptureStack: Captures a sequence of images into an ImageStack.
(See ImageJ Examples or more on info on these.)
