Detailed Description

A class to call arbitrary driver functions.

Normally all functions needed by the user and offered by the driver will be provided as a normal function somewhere within this interface. In rare cases however it might be necessary to call a function, which hasn't been implemented in this interface. In that case this class will serve as a backdoor.

Examples
ContinuousCaptureOnlyProcessLatest.cpp, ContinuousCaptureOnlyProcessLatest.legacy.cpp, GenICamSequencerParameterChangeAtRuntime.cpp, GenICamSequencerUsage.cpp, GenICamSequencerUsage.legacy.cpp, GenICamSequencerUsageWithPaths.cpp, and GenICamSequencerUsageWithPaths.legacy.cpp.

◆ call() [1/3]

int call ( const std::string & params,
const std::string & delimiters = " " ) const
inline

Calls an underlying driver function.

This function can be used to call any driver function which is registered for the device it is called for. To call a function successfully the parameters passed to the function must match the parameters expected by the function.

All parameters are passed as a single string, which is parsed with respect to the given delimiter characters internally.

To find out what kind of parameters are expected by the function use the function mvIMPACT::acquire::Method::paramList().

floating point values can be passed either with a '.' or a ',' acting as the decimal point.

'empty' strings can be passed as a single underline('_').

Attention
The characters '.', ',' and '_' can't be used as delimiters.
// call a function expecting a string and a float
// value parameters separated by spaces
meth.call( "stringParam 3,14" );
// call of a function expecting 2 integers an a string
// where an empty string shall be passed
// parameters are separated by '%'
meth.call( "1000%666%_", "%" );
Returns
An integer value. For a typical function that is part of the driver SDK this integer value will be
Parameters
[in]paramsThe parameters to be passed to the function as a single string
[in]delimitersA string containing valid delimiter characters for the parameter string

◆ call() [2/3]

int call ( const std::vector< std::string > & params) const
inline

Calls an underlying driver function.

This function can be used to call any driver function which is registered for the device it is called for. To call a function successfully the parameters passed to the function must match the parameters expected by the function.

The parameters are passed as a list of strings.

To find out what kind of parameters are expected by the function use the function mvIMPACT::acquire::Method::paramList().

floating point values can be passed either with a '.' or a ',' acting as the decimal point.

'empty' strings can be passed as a single underline('_').rs.

// call a function expecting a string and a float
vector<string> params;
params.push_back( "stringParam" );
params.push_back( "3.14" );
meth.call( params );
Returns
An integer value. For a typical function that is part of the driver SDK this integer value will be
Parameters
[in]paramsThe parameters to be passed to the function as a list of strings

ContinuousCaptureOnlyProcessLatest.legacy.cpp, GenICamSequencerParameterChangeAtRuntime.cpp, GenICamSequencerUsage.cpp, GenICamSequencerUsage.legacy.cpp, GenICamSequencerUsageWithPaths.cpp, GenICamSequencerUsageWithPaths.legacy.cpp, and GigEVisionActionFeatures.cpp.

◆ call() [3/3]

int call ( void ) const
inline

Calls an underlying driver function expecting no parameters.

This function can be used to call any driver function which is registered for the device it is called for that does NOT expect any parameters

To find out what kind of parameters are expected by the function use the function mvIMPACT::acquire::Method::paramList().

Returns
An integer value. For a typical function that is part of the driver SDK this integer value will be

◆ 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.

unsigned int lastChangedCount_;
ComponentRef( mvIMPACT::acquire::Component c ) : c_( c ), lastChangedCount_( 0 ) {}
};

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.

  • false otherwise.

◆ isList()

bool isList ( void ) const
inlineinherited

Checks if this component is of type mvIMPACT::acquire::ComponentList.

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, ContinuousCaptureGenDC.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

The characters have the following meaning:

  • i specifies a 32-bit integer value
  • I specifies a 64-bit integer value
  • s specifies a pointer to a C-string
  • f specifies a double precision float value
  • p specifies a pointer value

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.
