IDSDEMO is the application program provided by IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH for testing the FALCON/EAGLE in your own computer environment. Apart from the controlling of the Frame Grabber images can be recorded and saved as BMP file. Here we want to express on the fact that IDSDEMO does not guarantee a requirement on completeness and full working reliability in all modes and in all computer environments. This program is free of charge and may not be compared with other available products. IDSDEMO is delivered completely in source code and serves the demonstration of the IDS driver library and the conversion of programming. Support regarding IDSDEMO is unfortunately not possible.

At the moment the compilers Microsoft Visual C/C++ V6.0 and higher are supported. So that the program can be started, the following DLLs have to be either in the program files or system directories: falcon.dll, idshook.dll, mfc42.dll, comctl32dll, msvcrt.dll (or their corresponding debug version.)
