How to use PhoXi 3D scanners through HALCON

1) Download and install softwares from the Photoneo website
PhoXiControl 1.1.41
HALCON13 1.1.8.1 (for HALCON12 1.1.3.1 - see Older downloads)
2)Setting environment variables
In windows go to Control panel\System and Security\System, then click on Advanced System settings on the left pane, the System properties window will open. Click on environment variables at the bottom of this window.

In the Environment variables window, in the system variables pane, check if the system variables HALCONARCH, HALCONEXAMPLES, HALCONIMAGES, HALCONROOT are set correctly. (Same as in the picture below)

3) Open example file hAcqPhoXi.hdev
located in C:\Users\Public\Documents\PhoHalcon\ with HDevelop.
4) Launch PhoXiControl (PhoXiControl must be running in order to call API functions)
5) Start our HALCON example (it connects to the last scanner in PhoXiControl)
6) Edit open_framegrabber (AcqName, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 'default', -1, 'default', -1, 'false', 'default', 'DeviceValues[0]', -1, -1, AcqHandle)
Change 'DeviceValues[0]' to the scanners ID you want to connect to.
