Mercury RT 3.2.3 Falcon Released

Mercury RT version 3.2.3 Falcon is now available. This release expands hardware integration with IDS Peak SDK and National Instruments DAQ support, introduces a comprehensive REST API for total remote automation, and delivers essential bug fixes for multi-workstation workflows, camera handling, and UI stability.

New Features

❖ IDS Peak SDK Support: Enables seamless integration with next-generation uEye+ cameras (U3- and GV- series) alongside legacy camera models.

❖ National Instruments DAQ Hardware Support: Adds direct integration with NI DAQ devices (such as the USB-6351) to retrieve analog sensor inputs from testing machines and broadcast computed measurement results via analog output.

❖ Full REST API & TCP Remote Control: Introduces a complete REST API with interactive Swagger documentation and TCP support, enabling full remote automation of projects, measurements, calibrations, coordinates, probes, and data exports.

Modifications

❖ Flexible Video Sequence Export: Added export options for MP4, AVI Motion JPEG, and AVI raw YUV420 formats, along with customizable video quality settings to significantly reduce file sizes.

Fixes

❖ Automated 3D API Batch Testing: Resolved baseline probe position drift during long-term automated batch testing to maintain project coordinate accuracy.

❖ Multi-Workstation Path Handling: Improved recent projects list handling to prevent application errors when project file paths become unreachable across different measurement and analysis workstations.

❖ Camera Re-initialization: Fixed an application crash occurring when re-initializing Spinnaker cameras following an initial setup error.

❖ UI & Canvas Rendering: Resolved rendering issues on the canvas where non-ANSI character sets (such as Japanese text) were not displayed correctly.
