Overview
The KowaCamera C++ library is a software controller for KOWA camera. The KowaCamera library inherits Camera interface. It includes source code of libraries: Camera interface library (provides interface and data structures to control cameras, Apache 2.0 license), Logger logging library (provides function to print log information in console and files, Apache 2.0 license), SerialPort library (provides functions to work with serial ports, Apache 2.0 license). The KowaCamera library provides simple interface to be integrated in any C++ projects. The library repository (folder) provided by source code and doesn't have third-party dependencies to be specially installed in OS. It developed with C++17 standard and compatible with Linux and Windows.
