Hi @XBo,

if you want to go the G2GetGrabStaus() way, you have to pass Grab\_Info\_Timestamp to get the timstamp for the current image (documentation):

You can get the TimeStamp in .NET with the following call (assuming the new .NET wrappers you get here:  
[Wrapper](https://forum.commonvisionblox.com/t/introducing-experimental-cvb-net-cvb-and-cvbpy-api/205)):

var stamp = image.RawTimestamp;  
With image being a Stemmer.Cvb.Driver.StreamImage.

Also the values might get more accurate with higher framerates in the camera, have you tested that?

Regards  
Chris
