Camera This list contains features to control the device
ImageRequestTimeout_ms 0 ms INT_MAX 1 ms - Defines the timeout for the request in ms. Once the timeout has elapsed the request object is returned to the user even if no data has been captured into it. The timespan taken into account for the measurement starts when the driver begins to capture data into this particular buffer! So when queuing 4 buffers with a timeout of 3000 ms each and no data being transmitted by the device will cause the last buffer to time out 3000*4 = 12000 ms AFTER the buffer has been queued and the acquisition has been started. A timeout of 0 never elapses.
