GenICamBrowser not showing any device

ss_silkke · August 20, 2018, 12:10pm

Hi,

I can put only 1 image per post so i’ll put links instead.

GenICamBrowser application is loading infinitely on “Discover devices” when I start it :

There is nothing in the list and the cursor is loading.

And all the icons are grayed out

The only way that I have to have access to 3 of those few options is to go to View -> Show / hide TLs… and click “OK”

Then :

And if i click on that second icon to ignore the subnet, it does nothing more than “Ready”…

The mouse cursor is always loading.

Here are my network interfaces:

The 2 cameras are on the enp4s0f0 interface.

And here is my /etc/opt/cvb/drivers/GenICam.ini file :

I tried cleaning this file but it generates back when I open GenICamBroswer.

Can somebody help please ?

I did not mention that the CPP program is working fine (except that it takes 1 photo instead of 10) :

As said here Cannot start GenICamBrowser - libpng missing, I needed to add a few env vars to the .xsessionrc file :

CVB=/opt/cvb
GENICAM_GENTL64_PATH=/opt/cvb/drivers/genicam
CVGENICAM_REGISTRY=/var/opt/cvb/Registry
GENICAM_CACHE_V3_0=/var/opt/cvb/genicam
CVBDATA=/var/opt/cvb
CVBCONFIG=/etc/opt/cvb

In order to avoid “regenerating” Genicam.ini: Replace the content with …

[SYSTEM]
CreateAutoIni=0

If the file is deleted a new file with …

[SYSTEM]
CreateAutoIni=1

will be created. And then any access to the .vin driver will start a discover over all interfaces (that means all transportlayers). Which then results in your devices being inserted in Genicam.ini.

You may also run into an issue with services which are not running (because they are not called by debian).

siGevSvc ( needed for “ownership” to a Gige Camera, otherwise you will not be able to open them)
siLogSvc ( logging )
cvmgmtd ( our “management service” )

Should look like this:

user@chartmannX64:~$ ps -ef | grep cvb
root       798     1  0 09:39 ?        00:00:00 /opt/cvb-13.01.000/bin/siLogSvc -s
root       900     1  0 09:39 ?        00:00:00 /opt/cvb-13.01.000/bin/siGevSvc -s
root      1045     1 12 09:39 ?        00:00:03 /opt/cvb-13.01.000/bin/cvmgmtd
user      3037  3027  0 09:40 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto cvb

I’m confident that they are running for you ( you are able to access a cam ).

$ ps -ef | grep cvb
root       420     1  0 09:11 ?        00:00:19 /opt/cvb-13.01.002/bin/cvmgmtd

root       449     1  0 09:11 ?        00:00:01 /opt/cvb-13.01.002/bin/siLogSvc -s
user      1771   826  5 09:12 ?        00:15:06 /opt/cvb/bin/GenICamBrowser
user      5574  1439  0 13:42 pts/0    00:00:00 grep cvb

Yes indeed I can access a cam and configure options etc. Problem solved, thanks again.
