V-STARS SA Instrument

The SA 2024.2 release introduces an all new specially developed interface to the V-stars photogrammetry systems. This interface was developed by GSI through our new SAInstrumentSDK tools and offers simultaneous frame transform tracking, as well as standard S-Mode and M-Mode operations through an updated streamlined interface with clear connection status indicators.

Connection Status

This interface includes status icons at the top to clearly identify the connection status to both the SA and V-Stars applications and a Connect to SA Instrument button

The Gear icon offers options to verify the GSI connection settings. Above are the default settings when running SA and VSTARS on the same machine.

 

Trigger Functions

Data triggering needs to be defined and set up within V-Stars. When in M-Mode either a single trigger can be sent or V-Stars can be set to a continuous mode. The buttons in section 2 then act as a start stop function for either M-Mode or S-Mode.
