Configure a Device with the GenApi
Usually you will have to configure some things in a camera before the image fits your needs. Sometimes you might even have a lot of cameras which all need the same settings applied automatically. Here comes how you can script it.
- Open your device as described above.
- Get the device node map, which groups all settings for your camera (device).
device_node_map = vin_device.node_maps["Device"]
- Now you can access the camera features. Let’s start reading some stuff.
print("Vendor: " + device_node_map["DeviceVendorName"].value)
print("Model: " + device_node_map["DeviceModelName"].value)
print("Version: " + device_node_map["DeviceVersion"].value)
The value property is also used to write (if the node is writeabel) features to the camera. In the debugger you can see a lot of additional information that will help you to pick the right values. E.g:
exposure = device_node_map["ExposureTime"]
