API Reference Overview

This is the API reference for PUCLIB, the C/C++ library used to control the Photron real-time high-speed camera INFINICAM from a PC.

---

SDK header structure

Header file	Overview
PUCCONST.h	Defines common constants, enumerations, handle definitions, and error codes (PUCRESULT).
PUCLIB.h	Defines all C API functions for camera control, image transfer, and decoding.
PUCUTIL.h	Provides utility functions such as decoding and sequence number extraction as the C++ pucutil:: namespace (without the PUC_ prefix).

Note

This SDK consists of only the three headers above. All functionality is provided as C API functions in PUCLIB.h (or their pucutil:: namespace equivalents in PUCUTIL.h); it does not include object-oriented wrapper classes that directly handle types such as cv::Mat.
