-2001PROPHANDLING_NOT_A_PROPERTYThis component is not a property.This component is not a property. A property operation for this component has been called but this component does not reference a property.
-2002PROPHANDLING_NOT_A_METHODThis component is not a method.This component is not a method. A method operation for this component has been called but this component does not reference a method.
-2003PROPHANDLING_NO_READ_RIGHTSThe caller has no read rights for this component.The caller has no read rights for this component. It has been tried to read data from this component, but the caller has no read rights for this component.
-2004PROPHANDLING_NO_WRITE_RIGHTSThe caller has no write rights for this component.The caller has no write rights for this component. It has been tried to modify data of this component, but the caller has no write rights for this component.
-2005PROPHANDLING_NO_MODIFY_SIZE_RIGHTSThe caller can't modify the size of this component.The caller can't modify the size of this component. It has been tried to modify the size of this list or the number of values stored by a property, but the caller doesn't have the required right to do this.
This error will also be reported if the user tried to increase the number of values handled by a property above the maximum number of values it can handle. Therefore before resizing a property check if the new size might exceeds this maximum value by calling the appropriate function.
-2006PROPHANDLING_INCOMPATIBLE_COMPONENTSThe two involved components are not compatible.The two involved components are not compatible. An operation requiring two compatible components has been called with two components, which are not compatible.
-2008PROPHANDLING_UNSUPPORTED_PARAMETEROne or more of the specified parameters are not supported by the function.One or more of the specified parameters are not supported by the function. This error might also be generated if a certain feature is not available on the current platform.
-2009PROPHANDLING_SIZE_MISMATCHDifferent sized value buffers have been passed.Different sized value buffers have been passed. While trying to read value pairs the caller passed two different sized value buffers to a function while one is too small to hold all the information.
-2010PROPHANDLING_IMPLEMENTATION_MISSINGA feature that is not implemented so far has been requested.A feature that is not implemented so far has been requested. The caller requested a feature, that hasn't been implemented so far. This error code is only provided for compatibility and will be set in very rare cases only.
-2011PROPHANDLING_ACCESSTOKEN_CREATION_FAILEDAn access token object couldn't be created.An access token object couldn't be created. This can either happen, because the caller has not the rights required to create an access token or because the system runs very low on memory.

Deprecated: This error code currently is not used anywhere within this framework. It might be removed in a future version.
-2012PROPHANDLING_INVALID_PROP_VALUEIt has been tried to assign an invalid value to a property.It has been tried to assign an invalid value to a property. This can either happen if the value lies above or below the min. or max. value for a property or when it has been tried to write a value to a property, which is not in the properties translation dictionary (if it defines one).

To find out, which values are allowed for the property in question the user should

• Check if the property defines a translation dictionary.
• Check the allowed values within a translation dictionary if one is defined.
• Check the min and max value for properties, that define limits.
-2013PROPHANDLING_PROP_TRANSLATION_TABLE_CORRUPTEDThe properties translation table has been corrupted.The properties translation table has been corrupted. The properties translation table has been corrupted for an unknown reason and can't be used anymore.
-2014PROPHANDLING_PROP_VAL_ID_OUT_OF_BOUNDSInvalid value index.Invalid value index. The caller tried to read a value from an invalid index from a property. Most properties store one value only, thus the only valid positive value index will be 0 (some negative index values are reserved for special values like e.g. the min/max value of a property). However some properties might store more than one value, thus the max. allowed index might be higher. The highest index allowed will always be the value count of a property minus one for properties with the mvIMPACT::acquire::cfFixedSize flag set. Other properties will automatically adjust the size once the user writes to an index out of bounds.
-2015PROPHANDLING_PROP_TRANSLATION_TABLE_NOT_DEFINEDThis property doesn't define a translation table.This property doesn't define a translation table. The caller tried to modify a translation table, that hasn't been defined for this property.
-2016PROPHANDLING_INVALID_PROP_VALUE_TYPEAn invalid value has been passed to the property.An invalid value has been passed to the property. Although properties are quite tolerant regarding the allowed assignment for them some value types can't be used to write all properties. As an example assigning a float value to an integer property would result in this error.

Another reason for this error might be when a user tried to access e.g. a float property with functions meant to be used for int properties.
-2017PROPHANDLING_PROP_VAL_TOO_LARGEA too large value has been passed.A too large value has been passed. One or more of the values the caller tried to write to the property are larger than the max. allowed value for this property.
-2018PROPHANDLING_PROP_VAL_TOO_SMALLA too small value has been passed.A too small value has been passed. One or more of the values the caller tried to write to the property are smaller than the min. allowed value for this property.

-2022PROPHANDLING_LIST_ENTRY_OCCUPIEDThe specified list index is occupied.The specified list index is occupied. During the creation of a new component the caller tried the insert the newly created component into a list at a position already used to store another component.
-2023PROPHANDLING_COMPONENT_HAS_OWNER_ALREADYThe specified component already has an owner.The specified component already has an owner. The caller tried to assign an owner to a component that already has an owner. An owner once defined can't be modified anymore.
-2024PROPHANDLING_COMPONENT_ALREADY_REGISTEREDIt has been tried to register the same component at twice in the same list.It has been tried to register the same component at twice in the same list.
-2025PROPHANDLING_LIST_CANT_ACCESS_DATAThe desired data can't be accessed or found.The desired data can't be accessed or found. During loading or saving data this error can occur e.g. if it has been tried to import a setting from a location where the desired setting couldn't be found. Another reason for this error might be that the current user is not allowed to perform a certain operation on the desired data (e.g. a user tries to delete a setting that is stored with global scope but does not have elevated access rights).
-2026PROPHANDLING_METHOD_PTR_INVALIDThe function pointer of the referenced method object is invalid.The function pointer of the referenced method object is invalid.
-2027PROPHANDLING_METHOD_INVALID_PARAM_LISTA method object has an invalid parameter list.A method object has an invalid parameter list.
-2028PROPHANDLING_SWIG_ERRORThis indicates an internal error occurred within the SWIG generated wrapper code, when working under Python.This indicates an internal error occurred within the SWIG generated wrapper code, when working under Python.
-2029PROPHANDLING_INVALID_INPUT_PARAMETERA invalid input parameter has been passed to a function of this module.A invalid input parameter has been passed to a function of this module. In most cases this might be a unassigned pointer, where a valid pointer to a user defined storage location was expected.
-2030PROPHANDLING_COMPONENT_NO_CALLBACK_REGISTEREDThe user tried to modify a registered callback, but no callback has been registered for this component.The user tried to modify a registered callback, but no callback has been registered for this component.
-2031PROPHANDLING_INPUT_BUFFER_TOO_SMALLThe user tried to read data into a user supplied storage location, but the buffer was too small to accommodate the result.The user tried to read data into a user supplied storage location, but the buffer was too small to accommodate the result.
-2032PROPHANDLING_WRONG_PARAM_COUNTThe number of parameters is incorrect.The number of parameters is incorrect.

-2037PROPHANDLING_CANT_REGISTER_COMPONENTThe referenced list has no space left to register this component at the desired position.The referenced list has no space left to register this component at the desired position. There might however be an empty space within the list where this element could be registered, but no more components can be registered at the end of this list.
-2038PROPHANDLING_PROP_VALIDATION_FAILEDThe user tried to assign a value to a property, that is invalid.The user tried to assign a value to a property, that is invalid. This will result in a detailed error message in the log-file. This error might arise e.g. when a string property doesn't allow the string to contain numbers. In this case trying to set the properties value to 'blabla7bla' would cause this error.
-2099PROPHANDLING_LAST_VALID_ERROR_CODEDefines the last valid error code value for the property module.Defines the last valid error code value for the property module.
-2100DMR_DEV_NOT_FOUNDThe specified device can't be found.The specified device can't be found. This error occurs either if an invalid device ID has been passed to the device manager or if the caller tried to close a device which currently isn't initialized.

-2102DMR_DRV_ALREADY_IN_USEThe device is already in use.The device is already in use. This error e.g. will occur if this or another process has initialized this device already and an application tries to open the device once more or if a certain resource is available only once but shall be used twice.
-2103DMR_DEV_CANNOT_OPENThe specified device couldn't be initialized.The specified device couldn't be initialized.
-2104DMR_NOT_INITIALIZEDThe device manager or another module hasn't been initialized properly.The device manager or another module hasn't been initialized properly. This error occurs if the user tries e.g. to close the device manager without having initialized it before or if a library used internally or a module or device associated with that library has not been initialized properly or if
-2105DMR_DRV_CANNOT_OPENA device could not be initialized.A device could not be initialized. In this case the log-file will contain detailed information about the source of the problem.
-2106DMR_DEV_REQUEST_QUEUE_EMPTYThe devices request queue is empty.The devices request queue is empty. This error e.g. occurs if the user waits for an image request to become available at a result queue without having send an image request to the device before.

It might also arise when trying to trigger an image with a software trigger mechanism before the acquisition engine has been completely started. In this case a small delay and then again calling the software trigger function will succeed.
-2107DMR_DEV_REQUEST_CREATION_FAILEDA request object couldn't be created.A request object couldn't be created. The creation of a request object failed. This might e.g. happen, if the system runs extremely low on memory.
-2108DMR_INVALID_PARAMETERAn invalid parameter has been passed to a function.An invalid parameter has been passed to a function. This might e.g. happen if a function requiring a pointer to a structure has been passed an unassigned pointer or if a value has been passed, that is either too large or too small in that context.
-2109DMR_EXPORTED_SYMBOL_NOT_FOUNDOne or more symbols needed in a detected driver library couldn't be resolved.One or more symbols needed in a detected driver library couldn't be resolved. In most cases this is an error handled internally. So the user will not receive this error code as a result of a call to an API function. However when the user tries to get access to an IMPACT buffer type while the needed IMPACT Base libraries are not installed on the target system this error code also might be returned to the user.
-2110DEV_UNKNOWN_ERRORAn unknown error occurred while processing a user called driver function.An unknown error occurred while processing a user called driver function.

-2112DEV_INPUT_PARAM_INVALIDA driver function has been called but one or more of the input parameters are invalid.A driver function has been called but one or more of the input parameters are invalid. There are several possible reasons for this error:
• an unassigned pointer has been passed to a function, that requires a valid pointer.
• one or more of the passed parameters are of an incorrect type.
• one or more parameters contain an invalid value (e.g. a filename that points to a file that can't be found, a value, that is larger or smaller than the allowed values.
• within the current setup one or more parameters impose restrictions on the requested operation that don't allow its execution.
-2113DEV_WRONG_INPUT_PARAM_COUNTA function has been called with an invalid number of input parameters.A function has been called with an invalid number of input parameters.
-2114DEV_CREATE_SETTING_FAILEDThe creation of a setting failed.The creation of a setting failed. This can either happen, when a setting with the same name as the one the user tried to create already exists or if the system can't allocate memory for the new setting.
-2115DEV_REQUEST_CANT_BE_UNLOCKEDThe unlock for a mvIMPACT::acquire::Request object failed.The unlock for a mvIMPACT::acquire::Request object failed. This might happen, if the mvIMPACT::acquire::Request is not locked at the time of calling the unlock function. It either has been unlocked by the user already or this request has never been locked as the request so far has not been used to capture image data into its buffer. Another reason for this error might be that the user tries to unlock a request that is currently processed by the device driver.
-2116DEV_INVALID_REQUEST_NUMBERThe number for the mvIMPACT::acquire::Request object is invalid.The number for the mvIMPACT::acquire::Request object is invalid. The max. number for a mvIMPACT::acquire::Request object is the value of the property RequestCount in the mvIMPACT::acquire::SystemSettings list - 1.
-2117DEV_LOCKED_REQUEST_IN_QUEUEA Request that hasn't been unlocked has been passed back to the driver.A Request that hasn't been unlocked has been passed back to the driver. This error might occur if the user requested an image from the driver but hasn't unlocked the mvIMPACT::acquire::Request that will be used for this new image.
-2118DEV_NO_FREE_REQUEST_AVAILABLEThe user requested a new image, but no free mvIMPACT::acquire::Request object is available to process this request.The user requested a new image, but no free mvIMPACT::acquire::Request object is available to process this request.
-2119DEV_WAIT_FOR_REQUEST_FAILEDThe wait for a request failed.The wait for a request failed. This might have several reasons:

• The user waited for an image, but no image has been requested before.
• The user waited for a requested image, but the image is still not ready(e.g. because of a short timeout and a long exposure time).
• A triggered image has been requested but no trigger signal has been detected within the wait period.
• A plug and play device(e.g. an USB device) has been unplugged and therefore can't deliver images anymore. In this case the 'state' property should be checked to find out if the device is still present or not.
-2120DEV_UNSUPPORTED_PARAMETERThe user tried to get/set a parameter, which is not supported by this device.The user tried to get/set a parameter, which is not supported by this device.

-2128DMR_EXECUTION_PROHIBITEDThe user is not permitted to perform the requested operation.The user is not permitted to perform the requested operation. This e.g. might happen if the user tried to delete user data without specifying the required password.
-2129DMR_FILE_NOT_FOUNDThe specified file can't be found.The specified file can't be found. This might e.g. happen if the current working directory doesn't contain the file specified.
-2130DMR_INVALID_LICENCEThe licence doesn't match the device it has been assigned to.The licence doesn't match the device it has been assigned to. When e.g. upgrading a device feature each licence file is bound to a certain device. If the device this file has been assigned to has a different serial number then the one used to create the licence this error will occur.
-2131DEV_SENSOR_TYPE_ERRORThere is no sensor found or the found sensor type is wrong or not supported.There is no sensor found or the found sensor type is wrong or not supported.
-2132DMR_CAMERA_DESCRIPTION_INVALIDA function call was associated with a camera description, that is invalid.A function call was associated with a camera description, that is invalid. One possible reason might be, that the camera description has been deleted(driver closed?).
