If you don't mind a bit of programming you could look at OpenCV http://opencvlibrary.sourceforge.net/ (I haven't seen the probing article though: it might be overkill for your requirements.) Nathan

The concept is a no-brainer but my stumbling block is linux camera software with the cross-hair. Does anyone know of a package that will work. I think one wants stills at about the flicker rate but maybe it doesn't make a difference. However, the ability to superimpose the cross-hair is critical. This would be very nice as a pop-up window in emc but I'm willing to use another machine if necessary. Ideas?
