Aurora Design Assistant X

Aurora Design Assistant X (formerly Matrox Design Assistant X1) is an integrated development environment (IDE) for Microsoft® Windows® where vision applications are created by constructing an intuitive flowchart instead of writing traditional program code. In addition to building a flowchart, the IDE enables users to design a graphical web-based operator interface for the application.

It can operate independent of hardware, allowing users to choose any computer with CoaXPress®, GigE Vision®, or USB3 Vision® cameras and get the processing power needed. Image capture from CoaXPress cameras requires the use of a Aurora Rapixo CXP frame grabber. Aurora Design Assistant X works with multiple cameras all within the same project, or per project running concurrently and independently from one another, platform permitting. This software is also a match for a Aurora Imaging vision controller or smart camera. The software includes classification steps that categorize image content using deep learning.

This flowchart-based vision software offers the freedom to choose the ideal platform for any vision project and speeds up application development.

The solution is based on Matrox Design Assistant X1, which was acquired by Zebra Technologies in 2022, and since rebranded.
