Detailed Description

template<class ZYX>
class mvIMPACT::acquire::EnumPropertyI64< ZYX >

A template class to represent 64 bit integer properties and enumerated 64 bit integer properties.

The template parameter specifies the enum to use as the value type for this enumerated property. The class itself however is restricted for integer values. To use a normal int (not enumerated) properties use the mvIMPACT::acquire::PropertyI64 type.

Member Function Documentation

◆ allowsValueCombinations()

bool allowsValueCombinations ( void ) const
inlineinherited

Checks if this enumerated property allows the combination of enum values.

If this function returns true, the enum constants can be 'ored' together. This works for the enum constants as well as for the string representations returned in the properties translation dictionary.

if a property e.g. defines a dictionary (('1', "one"), ('2', "two")) the following write operations will be valid:

prop = getPropFromSomewhere()
prop.write( 1 | 2 )
prop.write( "one | two" )
const EnumPropertyI64 & write(ZYX value, int index=0) const
Writes one value to the property.
Definition mvIMPACT_acquire.h:5033

If this function returns true code like this will be valid:

enum TEnum
{
eA,
eB
};
typedef EnumPropertyI<TEnum> PropertyIEnum;
PropertyIEnum p = getPropFromSomewhere();
p.write( TEnum(eA | eB) );
A template class to represent 32 bit integer properties and 32 bit enumerated integer properties.
Definition mvIMPACT_acquire.h:4067
Returns
  • true if this property allows the combination of enum values.
  • false otherwise.

◆ changedCounter()

unsigned int changedCounter ( void ) const
inlineinherited

Returns the current changed counter for the component referenced by this object.

This changed counter is incremented internally each time the component is modified. To check if this component has been modified since the last time, this check has been performed, keep track of the last return value of this function and compare it with the new value. This can be helpful e.g. to keep a GUI up to date. The value returned by this function will always be larger than or equal to the value returned by mvIMPACT::acquire::ComponentAccess::changedCounterAttr (except in case of a wrap around) when called at the same time for the same object as it's always incremented when the component has been modified in any way while the latter one will only be incremented if the attributes (e.g. the flags) but NOT if e.g. the value(s) of a property has been modified.

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
struct ComponentRef
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
{
unsigned int lastChangedCount_;
ComponentRef( mvIMPACT::acquire::Component c ) : c_( c ), lastChangedCount_( 0 ) {}
};
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
void fn( ComponentRef& cr )
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
{
if( cr.c_.isValid() )
{
const unsigned int currentChangedCount = cr.c_.changedCounter();
if( currentChangedCount != cr.lastChangedCount_ )
{
// something has happened since the last check!
doWhatNeedsToBeDone();
// and remember the current changed counter
cr.lastChangedCount_ = currentChangedCount;
}
}
}
A base class to implement access to internal driver components.
Definition mvIMPACT_acquire.h:1439
Returns
The current changed counter of this object.

◆ changedCounterAttr()

unsigned int changedCounterAttr ( void ) const
inlineinherited

Returns the current attribute changed counter for the component referenced by this object.

This changed counter is incremented internally each time the components attributes have been modified. To check if this components attributes have been modified since the last time, this check has been performed, keep track of the last return value of this function and compare it with the new value. This can be helpful e.g. to keep a GUI up to date.

Note
Attributes changes are e.g. a modification to a property's translation dictionary, but NOT a property's value. Because of this the value returned by this function will always be less or equal than the value returned by the function mvIMPACT::acquire::ComponentAccess::changedCounter (except in case of a wrap around) when called at the same time for the same object.
See also
mvIMPACT::acquire::ComponentAccess::changedCounter
Returns
The current attributes changed counter of this object.

inlineinherited

Checks if the internal component referenced by this object is still valid.

This function can be used to verify whether a referenced component is still valid or not. When e.g. referencing a driver property after mvIMPACT::acquire::Device::close has been called this function would return false. Calling any other function that tries to access the referenced component in that case would raise an exception.

Returns
  • true if this object currently references a valid component
  • false otherwise.
Examples
ContinuousCapture.linux.cpp, ContinuousCaptureFFmpeg.cpp, ContinuousCapture_BVS-3D-RV0.cpp, DigitalIOs.cpp, DigitalIOs.legacy.cpp, GenICamCommonSettingsUsage.cpp, GenICamCommonSettingsUsage.legacy.cpp, GenICamI2cUsage.cpp, GenICamInterfaceLayout.cpp, GenICamInterfaceLayout.legacy.cpp, GenICamSequencerParameterChangeAtRuntime.cpp, GenICamSequencerUsage.cpp, GenICamSequencerUsage.legacy.cpp, GenICamSequencerUsageWithPaths.cpp, GenICamSequencerUsageWithPaths.legacy.cpp, GenICamSmartFrameRecallUsage.cpp, GenICamSmartFrameRecallUsage.legacy.cpp, GenericInterfaceLayout.cpp, GenericInterfaceLayout.legacy.cpp, GigEVisionActionFeatures.cpp, Properties.cpp, Properties.legacy.cpp, TimestampFeatures.cpp, and exampleHelper.h.

◆ isVisible()

bool isVisible ( void ) const
inlineinherited

Checks if the component is currently shadowed due to a settings made elsewhere or not.

Settings applied to certain components might affect the behaviour of others. For example an activated automatic gain control might shadow the value written to the gain property by the user as the gain is calculated internally. In order to check if modifying the actual component will affect the behaviour of the system this function may be used. When it returns true, the mvIMPACT::acquire::Component will have an impact on the system, if false is returned, the feature might be modified, but this will currently NOT influence the acquisition process or the overall behaviour of the device or driver.

This is what is called visibility. The user still might modify or read the current mvIMPACT::acquire::Component when it's not visible however the actual data will be used only if the Component is visible (mvIMPACT::acquire::cfInvisible must NOT be set).

The visibility of a mvIMPACT::acquire::Component object will change only if other mvIMPACT::acquire::Component objects are modified and NEVER when a program runs but does not change any mvIMPACT::acquire::Component.

◆ isWriteable()

bool isWriteable ( void ) const
inlineinherited

Returns
  • true if the caller is allowed to call write/modify operation for this component.
  • false otherwise.
Examples
exampleHelper.h.

const std::string & delimiter = "",
int startIndex = 0,
int endIndex = INT_MAX,
int mode = 0 ) const
inlineinherited

Reads data from this property as a string.

This function can be used to query a set of values if this property stores more than a single value which might be useful for GUI applications.

PropertyI p = getPropFromSomewhere();
p.write( 1 );
p.write( 2, 1 );
p.write( 666, 2 );
std::string s = p.readSArray( "%d", "&&:", 1 );
// now s should contain '2&&:666'
s = p.readSArray( "%4d", " ", 0, 1 );
// now s should contain ' 1, 2'
const EnumPropertyI & write(ZYX value, int index=0) const
Writes one value to the property.

◆ resizeValArray()

const Property & resizeValArray ( unsigned int newSize) const
inlineinherited

Resizes the property's data array.

This function resizes the internal data array of this property. The size of this array represents the number of values, which can be stored within the property. This function will only succeed, if the mvIMPACT::acquire::cfFixedSize is NOT set for this property and the user has "write rights" for this property. Otherwise an exception will be thrown. Whenever the user successfully writes an array of values to a property and this array contains more elements than the current internal data array can accommodate at the desired offset the internal data array will be increased automatically.

Note
If the caller does not have the needed rights this function might throw an exception of the type mvIMPACT::acquire::ImpactAcquireException.
In order to be allowed to modify the number of values a property can store, the mvIMPACT::acquire::cfFixedSize flag must NOT be set.
See also
mvIMPACT::acquire::Component::isWriteable
Returns
A const reference to the calling property.
Parameters
[in]newSizeThe new number of values this property shall be allowed to store

◆ restoreDefault()

const Component & restoreDefault ( void ) const
inlineinherited

Restores the default for the referenced component.

Calling this function will restore the default value for the component referenced by this object.

If this function is called for an object of type mvIMPACT::acquire::ComponentList every component in that list is restored to the default value.

Note
The caller must have the right to modify the component. Otherwise an exception will be thrown.
Returns
A const reference to the component.

◆ selectedFeature()

Component selectedFeature ( unsigned int index) const
inlineinherited

Retrieves a component that is selected by the current one.

This function retrieves a component that is selected by the current one. This information is mainly useful for GUI applications that want to arrange features in a way that dependencies between features can easily been spotted.

When a component 'selects' other components, this indicates that selected components may change whenever the selecting component changes. An example for a selector might be a property defining the index within a LUT while the value of a particular LUT entry could be a selected feature. Assuming 2 properties LUTIndex and LUTValue then changing LUTIndex will invalidate and possibly change LUTValue.

C++ offers the more efficient function mvIMPACT::acquire::Component::selectedFeatures to obtain this information.

To find out how many mvIMPACT::acquire::Component objects are selected by the current one call mvIMPACT::acquire::Component::selectedFeatureCount. This value minus 1 will also be the max. value for index.
