Imaging Software for Rad-Icon Cameras
ShadoCam™ Imaging Software
The ShadoCam Imaging Software is available free of charge to help you get up and running quickly with your Rad-icon x-ray camera. ShadoCam provides basic imaging functionality such as image acquisition and display, offset and flat-field corrections, image statistics, printing and file I/O. Images are displayed and stored in 16-bit integer format to preserve the full dynamic range of the camera. You can export image bitmaps via the clipboard or in various formats for use in other applications. Check here for the latest ShadoCam version, which includes full support for our Shad-o-Box, Shad-o-Snap, SkiaGraph and Remote RadEye cameras.

ShadoCam Imaging Library
The ShadoCam Imaging Library (SIL) is a Windows DLL that allows you to link ShadoCam image processing functions into your own application. The SIL consists of a set of function calls that duplicate portions of Rad-icon’s ShadoCam Imaging Software application. These functions allow you to perform the same image calibrations that ShadoCam uses, in order to achieve the best possible image quality from your Shad-o-Box or Shad-o-Snap camera. For detailed information please refer to the SIL Data Sheet and User's Manual (see links below).
SIL is available with a standard software license that includes free upgrades and support for one year from the date of purchase. There are no royalty fees - you may distribute an unlimited number of copies of the SIL object code along with your own application software.

Shad-o-Snap Software Development Kit (SDK)
The Shad-o-Snap Software Development Kit is a Windows DLL that provides easy access to your Shad-o-Snap camera from your custom C/C++ application. The Shad-o-Snap SDK consists of a complete set of I/O function calls for communicating with any Rad-icon Shad-o-Snap camera. Functions are provided to send imaging commands to the camera, to access camera status information and to retrieve images from the Shad-o-Snap camera's on-board memory.
The Shad-o-Snap SDK is available with a standard software license that includes free upgrades and support for one year from the date of purchase. There are no royalty fees - you may distribute an unlimited number of copies of the SDK object code along with your own application software.

Shad-o-Snap TWAIN Driver
The Shad-o-Snap TWAIN Driver is a simple and easy way to acquire Shad-o-Snap images into any TWAIN-enabled application. The driver GUI contains setup dialogs that allow easy access to camera parameters such as timing modes, integration time etc. You can acquire calibration images directly from the driver GUI, or simply point to existing calibration files stored on disk. A preview mode allows you to check images for correct exposure level before transferring the full image to the application as an 8-bit TIF, BMP or native-format file.
