A couple of persons from outside of Balluff helped during the development of the Python and Java interface for Impact Acquire. Most notable Kazunari Kudo! Thanks a lot for answering all sorts of questions regarding the use of SWIG as well as Python and for never losing your humor!

For everyone reading this section looking for a Python interface on a raw GenTL level(https://www.emva.org/standards-technology/genicam/genicam-downloads/) check out Kazunaris Harvesters project on github: https://github.com/genicam/harvesters (these days maintained by Silvan Murer and others). It is a very good starting point for anyone looking for a Python interface to GenTL compliant devices.

Also thanks to Joakim Åkerblom and Mattias Johannesson (RIP) from SICK IVP in Linköping, Sweden for answering some of the Java related questions when building this interface!
