This page lists the available EEPROM calibration formats and the NxLib versions that support them.

When saving a new calibration, the NxLib generally tries to preserve the current format on the camera. When this is not possible (e.g. because the new format uses features that cannot be represented in the old one), NxView will ask whether you want to upgrade the format. This can break compatibility with older versions of the NxLib, which will not be able to open the camera anymore.

Forward and Backward Compatibility

All NxLib versions are fully backward compatible and can handle all older EEPROM formats.

Forward compatibility is guaranteed from version 1.1.0 onwards. If you want to open a camera with a newer calibration with an older version of the NxLib, you can recompute the factory calibration from the raw calibration data.

Stereo Camera Calibrations

Mono Camera Calibrations

 

* From Revision 3 on, the monocular calibration get saved in the same area of the EEPROM as the stereo calibrations. To distinguish them, the monocular calibration versions have their highest bit set. The resulting full revision number is negative and will be displayed e.g. by the LoadCalibration command.
