Detailed Description

Contains information about a captured buffer.

This class provides access to all sorts of information about the captured buffer. Only Instances of mvIMPACT.acquire.FunctionInterface are allowed to create objects of mvIMPACT.acquire.Request. Consequently the only way to get access to a mvIMPACT.acquire.Request object is via a call to mvIMPACT.acquire.FunctionInterface.getRequest.

A mvIMPACT.acquire.Request represents an object used by the driver to fill its internal job queues. Whenever a buffer shall be captured a mvIMPACT.acquire.Request is sent to the driver and the hardware then tries to capture the desired buffer as fast as possible.

Requests are managed by the driver. The only thing the user needs to configure is the maximum number of requests he wants the driver to work with. To make sure a certain number of requests are available, the property mvIMPACT.acquire.SystemSettings.getRequestCount() can be used. This can be useful for time critical applications where the hardware can capture images in the background while the PC performs other tasks. In that case it's necessary to make sure that the request queue never runs low to ensure lossless data acquisition.

Member Function Documentation

attachUserBuffer()

int attachUserBuffer

(

java.nio.ByteBuffer

pBuf

)

Convenience function to attach a user supplied buffer to a mvIMPACT.acquire.Request object.

This function just provides a nicer way to attach a user supplied buffer to a mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.

To find out more about capturing to user supplied buffers please have a look at the documentation of the function mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.configure.

mvIMPACT.acquire.FunctionInterface.imageRequestUnlock,
mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.unlock,

mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.configure

Since

1.12.68

Returns

• mvIMPACT.acquire.TDMR_ERROR.DMR_NO_ERROR if successful.
• A negative error code of type mvIMPACT.acquire.TDMR_ERROR otherwise.

Parameters

pBuf	[in] A pointer to a user supplied buffer

configure()

int configure

(

)

Sets a request into configuration mode.

In configuration mode certain properties like mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.getImageData(), mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.getImageSize(), mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.getImageMemoryMode() of a request object can be modified. This can be used to configure one or more requests to use a user supplied memory. To use only a subset of the mvIMPACT.acquire.Request objects available the mvIMPACT.acquire.ImageRequestControl.getRequestToUse() feature can be used.

Only requests that are currently not used by the driver and are not locked because they contain image data that hasn't been processed can be set into configuration mode.

Note

Instead of calling this function directly for most cases it is much more convenient to use the functions mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.attachUserBuffer and mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.detachUserBuffer instead.

User supplied buffers must follow the alignment and size requirements reported by versions of the function mvIMPACT.acquire.FunctionInterface.getCurrentCaptureBufferLayout. Calling a version of this function will return all the information required to allocate buffers that can be used to capture data for the specified settings.

When allocating memory on the heap, the complete buffer size is needed which is calculated like this:

size + alignment

Note

The address passed to the request object must be aligned already!

A request that is in configuration mode can't be sent to the driver for acquisition until mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.unlock or mvIMPACT.acquire.FunctionInterface.imageRequestUnlock has been called again. By using mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.attachUserBuffer and mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.detachUserBuffer this locking and unlocking is done internally thus the application does not need to worry about this.

detachUserBuffer()

int detachUserBuffer

(

)

Convenience function to detach a user supplied buffer from a mvIMPACT.acquire.Request object.

This function just provides a nicer way to detach a user supplied buffer from a mvIMPACT.acquire.Request. It e.g. allows to write code like this:

// 'fi' is assumed to be a valid instance of mvIMPACT.acquire.FunctionInterface
Request pRequest = fi.getRequest( 0 ); // get access to request 0
pRequest.detachUserBuffer();

Instead if this:

// 'fi' is assumed to be a valid instance of mvIMPACT.acquire.FunctionInterface
Request pRequest = fi.getRequest( 0 ); // get access to request 0
if( pRequest.configure() == TDMR_ERROR.DMR_NO_ERROR )
{
  pRequest.getImageMemoryMode().write( TRequestImageMemoryMode.rimmAuto );
  pRequest.unlock();
}

To find out more about capturing to user supplied buffers please have a look at the documentation of the function mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.configure.

Returns

• mvIMPACT.acquire.TDMR_ERROR.DMR_NO_ERROR if successful.
• A negative error code of type mvIMPACT.acquire.TDMR_ERROR otherwise.

getBufferPart()

BufferPart getBufferPart

(

long

index

)

Returns a reference to a buffer part descriptor of this request.

This function returns a reference to a mvIMPACT.acquire.BufferPart at index index associated with this mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.

Attention

Please do NEVER work with old references to this class. So do NOT store this reference in some variable to use it for the evaluation of the next mvIMPACT.acquire.Request object as well, as this might not work because the buffer layout might have changed. Whenever mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.getBufferPart is called the function will make sure that the data in the returned structure is up to date while when working with an old reference to the mvIMPACT.acquire.BufferPart structure the containing data might refer to a previous result or worse an invalid memory location. This reference will remain valid until an application calls mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.unlock for the corresponding request.

mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.getBufferPartCount
Multi-Part Format

Since

2.20.0

Returns

A reference to the buffer part defined by index

Parameters

index

[in] The index of the buffer part to return

getBufferPartCount()

long getBufferPartCount

(

)

Returns the number of buffer parts currently associated with this request.

Certain device drivers are able to deliver multiple buffer part within a single request object.

See also

Multi-Part Format

Since

2.20.0

Returns

The number of buffer parts currently associated with this request. This might be zero in case the device driver delivers a standard data stream. It might also be 1 for special data formats such as JPEG, which must be handled differently from an image describing properties perspective.

getBufferSizeFilled()

PropertyI64 getBufferSizeFilled

(

)

A 64bit integer property (read-only) containing the total amount of data (in bytes) that has been captured during the last capture operation.

In contrast to mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.getImageSize(), this value might be smaller than the original amount of memory, that has been allocated upfront. This e.g. might be true for a JPEG transmission of a triggered linescan application where mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.getImageSize() would contain the maximum amount of data that could be captured while this value holds the number of bytes actually captured.

This value in connection with mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.getImageData() is sufficient to copy the complete image without having any additional information about it.

getImageData()

PropertyPtr getImageData

(

)

A pointer property (read-only) containing the start address of the image data.

This address in connection with mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.getImageSize() is sufficient to copy the complete image without having any additional information about it. Sometimes however mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.getBufferSizeFilled() might be more suitable for this.

FunctionInterface fi = getFunctionInterfaceFromSomewhere(); int currentRequestNr = getCurrentRequestNumberFromSomewhere(); Request pRequest = fi.getRequest( currentRequestNr ); byte[] data = new byte[pRequest.getImageSize().read()]; pRequest.getImageBufferDesc().copy( data );

Note

It's not always necessary to copy the image data! Each image buffer is an integral part of the mvIMPACT.acquire.Request object returned to the user by a call to the corresponding 'waitFor' function offered by the interface. The data in this buffer remains valid until the user either unlocks the request buffer or closes the mvIMPACT.acquire.Device again.

By unlocking the mvIMPACT.acquire.Request, the user informs the driver that this mvIMPACT.acquire.Request and the image buffer belonging to that mvIMPACT.acquire.Request is no longer needed by the user. The driver then queues this mvIMPACT.acquire.Request for capturing image data into it once again. However, once a mvIMPACT.acquire.Request has been returned to the user, its image buffer can't be overwritten by the driver! Therefore the user can work with, modify, store or copy the data safely until he unlocks the mvIMPACT.acquire.Request again.

This property will become writeable if this request is in configuration mode.

getImageFooter()

PropertyPtr getImageFooter

(

)

A pointer property (read-only) containing the start address of the footer associated with this image.

A footer may contain additional data like e.g. information about the image (e.g. the exposure time used for this image). If this property contains the value '0' no footer is attached to this image.

Note

In general it is not necessary to access footer data. Sometime e.g. when the hardware already does some image pre-processing a footer containing additional information about the image data might be attached to the image. In this case some additional information about the structure of the footer might be needed as well.

getImageFooterSize()

PropertyI getImageFooterSize

(

)

An integer property (read-only) containing the size (in bytes) of the footer associated with this image.

If this property contains the value '0' no footer is attached to this image.

getImageHeightTotal()

PropertyI getImageHeightTotal

(

)

An integer property (read-only) containing the total height of the image in pixels if this buffer is part of a larger image.

Note

This feature will be supported by devices using an Impact Acquire driver greater or equal version 1.11.50. Not every device driver will be capable of dealing with multiple buffers forming a single image. If a device driver can not deliver parts of a larger image, then this property will always contain the same value as returned by mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.getImageHeight().

getImageLinePitch()

PropertyI getImageLinePitch

(

)

An integer property (read-only) containing the offset (in bytes) to the next line of each channel belonging to the current image.

Note

This property will store imageChannelCount values. These can be queried one by one using the index parameter of the function mvIMPACT.acquire.PropertyI.read() or in a single call by using the overloaded read function accepting a reference to a vector.

getImageMemoryMode()

PropertyI getImageMemoryMode

(

)

An enumerated integer property (read-only) containing the memory mode used for this request.

Valid values for this property are defined by the enumeration mvIMPACT.acquire.TRequestImageMemoryMode.

Note

This property will become writeable if this request is in configuration mode.

See also

mvIMPACT.acquire.FunctionInterface.imageRequestConfigure,
mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.configure

getImageOffsetX()

PropertyI getImageOffsetX

(

)

An integer property (read-only) containing the X-offset of the image in pixels.

Note

This feature will be supported by devices using an Impact Acquire driver greater or equal version 1.10.92.

getImageOffsetY()

PropertyI getImageOffsetY

(

)

An integer property (read-only) containing the Y-offset of the image in pixels.

Note

This feature will be supported by devices using an Impact Acquire driver greater or equal version 1.10.92.

getImagePixelFormat()

PropertyI getImagePixelFormat

(

)

An enumerated integer property (read-only) containing the pixel format of this image.

This might be important, when the image data needs to be processed or stored in a file or maybe even if the image shall be displayed.

Valid values for this property are defined by the enumeration mvIMPACT.acquire.TImageBufferPixelFormat.

getImagePixelPitch()

PropertyI getImagePixelPitch

(

)

An integer property (read-only) containing the offset (in bytes) to the next pixel of the specified channel of this image.

Note

This property will store imageChannelCount values. These can be queried one by one using the index parameter of the function mvIMPACT.acquire.PropertyI.read() or in a single call by using the overloaded read function accepting a reference to a vector.

getImageProcessingResultsIterator()

Component getImageProcessingResultsIterator

(

)

Returns an iterator for iterating inside the info/imageProcessingResults list of the request.

This can be useful when custom or device specific algorithms have been applied to the request object that weren't known at compile time.

For a code example please refer to the documentation of mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.getInfoIterator

See also

mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.getInfoIterator

Since

2.14.0

Returns

An iterator for iterating inside the info/imageProcessingResults list of the request.

getImageSize()

PropertyI getImageSize

(

)

An integer property (read-only) containing the size (in bytes) of the whole image.

This value in connection with mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.getImageData() is sufficient to copy the complete image without having any additional information about it. Sometimes however mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.getBufferSizeFilled() might be more suitable for this.

Note

This property will become writeable if this request is in configuration mode.

See also

mvIMPACT.acquire.FunctionInterface.imageRequestConfigure,
mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.configure,
mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.getImageData(),
mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.getBufferSizeFilled(),

getImageWidth()

PropertyI getImageWidth

(

)

An integer property (read-only) containing the width of the image in pixels.

getImageWidthTotal()

PropertyI getImageWidthTotal

(

)

An integer property (read-only) containing the total width of the image in pixels if this buffer is part of a larger image.

Note

This feature will be supported by devices using an Impact Acquire driver greater or equal version 1.11.50. Not every device driver will be capable of dealing with multiple buffers forming a single image. If a device driver can not deliver parts of a larger image, then this property will always contain the same value as returned by mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.getImageWidth().

getInfoCameraOutputUsed()

PropertyI getInfoCameraOutputUsed

(

)

An enumerated integer property (read-only) containing the camera output used to transmit the image to the capture device.

Valid values for this property are defined by the enumeration mvIMPACT.acquire.TCameraOutput.

Note

This property is not supported by every device. Therefore always call the function mvIMPACT.acquire.Component.isValid to check if this property is available or not.

getInfoExposeStart_us()

PropertyI getInfoExposeStart_us

(

)

An integer property (read-only) containing a timestamp (in us) defining the time the device started the exposure of the image associated with this mvIMPACT.acquire.Request object.

This value will stay 0 if nothing is known about the time the exposure did start. In such a case the mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.getInfoTimeStamp_us() property should be used instead.

getInfoExposeTime_us()

PropertyI getInfoExposeTime_us

(

)

An integer property (read-only) containing the 'real' expose time (in us) used to generate this image.

This might differ slightly from the value selected by the user via the corresponding exposure property depending on the precision available for the device or the connected camera.

Note

When working with the mvIMPACT.acquire.TDeviceInterfaceLayout.dilGenICam this value will reflect the last value of the corresponding device property when it was written thus is a cached copy of the value that has been set by the application. For various operation modes this might NOT be the value actually used by the device for taking the image described by this request object. For example when AEC (exposureAuto) is active or the device is operated in a special sequencer mode the value of this property might be incorrect. When precise information about this value is needed it is recommended to work in chunk mode and use the exposure provided as chunk information instead.

See also

mvIMPACT.acquire.Device.getInterfaceLayout(),
mvIMPACT.acquire.ChunkDataControl,
mvIMPACT.acquire.AcquisitionControl.getExposure()Auto,
mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.getChunkExposureTime

getInfoFrameID()

PropertyI64 getInfoFrameID

(

)

A 64 bit integer property (read-only) containing a frame identifier.

This parameter is returned as part of the mvIMPACT.acquire.Request. It is used to associate a certain image with a unique identifier.

When an mvIMPACT.acquire.RTCtrProgramStep instruction of the type mvIMPACT.acquire.TRTProgOpCodes.rtctrlProgTriggerSet is executed, the frameID is set to the value of the property FrameID of a corresponding mvIMPACT.acquire.RTCtrProgramStep if the HRTC is used and any program step executes the setting of the ID.

If a device (e.g. a digital camera) supports the transmission of a unique identifier for an image, this property will reflect the identifier as transmitted by the device.

Note

mvBlueFOX and mvHYPERION specific: This property will only contain meaningful data if the device supports at least one HRTC and a program is running and writing data to the property OR if a device supports the transmission of a unique identifier for an image. Currently HRTC programs are supported by mvBlueFOX and mvHYPERION devices.

GigE Vision and USB3 Vision specific: This is the property where the so called block ID will be stored which is a unique identifier for each frame that will be transferred by the device as part of each frame as defined by the standard.

• For GigE Vision 1.x compliant devices, this will be a 16 bit counter that will be incremented with every data block(e.g. an image or chunk data) transmitted by the device where '0' is a reserved value, which will never be used, thus values like this will be transmitted in a round robin scheme: 1, 2, 3, ..., 65535, 1, 2, ...
• For devices complying with version 2.0 and greater of the GigE Vision specification, this will be a 64 bit counter that will be incremented with every data block(e.g. an image or chunk data) transmitted by the device where '0' is a reserved value, which will never be used, thus values like this will be transmitted in a round robin scheme: 1, 2, 3, ..., ((2^64)-1), 1, 2, ...
• For USB3 Vision compliant devices, this will be a 64 bit counter that will be incremented with every data block(e.g. an image or chunk data) transmitted by the device, thus values like this will be transmitted in a round robin scheme: 0, 1, 2, ..., ((2^64)-1), 0, 1, ...

Please note that due to the nature of mvIMPACT.acquire.TAcquisitionMode.amContinuous there might be gaps between the last image of a continuous stream and the first image of the next continuous stream if the device is stopped or re-programmed in between.

getInfoFrameNr()

PropertyI64 getInfoFrameNr

(

)

A 64 bit integer property (read-only, zero-based) containing the number of image requests processed since this driver instance has been opened.

This counter is incremented regardless of the result this request is returned with thus also e.g. if a request did time out, was aborted(e.g. due to a call to mvIMPACT.acquire.FunctionInterface.imageRequestReset or mvIMPACT.acquire.FunctionInterface.acquisitionStop) or the data was not completely captured. So if a mvIMPACT.acquire.Request object contains the value 6 here, 6 requests have been processed before this one(the first request would contain the value 0) This value is reset to 0 only if the current driver instance is closed.

getInfoGain_dB()

PropertyF getInfoGain_dB

(

)

A float property (read-only) containing the gain(in dB) this image has been taken with.

Note

When working with the mvIMPACT.acquire.TDeviceInterfaceLayout.dilGenICam this value will reflect the last value of the corresponding device property when it was written thus is a cached copy of the value that has been set by the application. For various operation modes this might NOT be the value actually used by the device for taking the image described by this request object. For example when AGC (gainAuto) is active or the device is operated in a special sequencer mode the value of this property might be incorrect. When precise information about this value is needed it is recommended to work in chunk mode and use the gain provided as chunk information instead.

See mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.getInfoIOStatesAtExposureStart() for details on how to interpret the data.

Note

This property is not supported by every device. Therefore always call the function mvIMPACT.acquire.Component.isValid to check if this property is available or not.

getInfoIOStatesAtExposureStart()

PropertyI getInfoIOStatesAtExposureStart

(

)

An integer property (read-only) containing the state of all the IO lines at the beginning of the frame exposure as a device specific bit field.

The following table documents which bit in this property represents the state of which digital I/O for mvBlueFOX devices:

bit	IO
0	in 0
1	in 1
2	in 2(if available)
3	in 3(if available)
4	out 0
5	out 1
6	out 2(if available)
7	out 3(if available)

Attention

This feature is currently only available for mvBlueFOX-MLC devices!

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
public static void printIOStateOfAValidRequest( Request pRequest )
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
{
  if( pRequest.getInfoIOStatesAtExposureStart().isValid() )
  {
     System.out.println( pRequest.getInfoIOStatesAtExposureStart().name() + ": " + Integer.toBinaryString( pRequest.getInfoIOStatesAtExposureStart().read() ) );
  }
}

Note

This property is not supported by every device. Therefore always call the function mvIMPACT.acquire.Component.isValid to check if this property is available or not.

getInfoIterator()

Component getInfoIterator

(

)

Returns an iterator for iterating inside the info list of the request.

This can be useful when custom or device specific information has been attached to the request object that wasn't known at compile time.

It allows to write code like this:

import java.util.Hashtable;
 
// ...
 
Component it = pRequest.getInfoIterator();
Hashtable<String, String> m = new Hashtable<String, String>();
while( it.isValid() )
{
  // collect all entries that are properties and store their current name and value in a hash table
  if( it.isProp() && it.isVisible() )
  {
    Property prop = new Property( it.hObj() );
    m.put( prop.name(), prop.readS() );
  }
  it = it.nextSibling();
}
// Here you can work with the information you just obtained

Returns

An iterator for iterating inside the info list of the request.

getInfoLineCounter()

PropertyI getInfoLineCounter

(

)

An integer property (read-only) containing the number of lines since the last trigger event.

Will contain

• the number of lines since last trigger event of the first line of the snap if line counting is enabled
• -1 otherwise

Note

This property is not supported by every device. Therefore always call the function mvIMPACT.acquire.Component.isValid to check if this property is available or not.

getInfoMissingData_pc()

PropertyF getInfoMissingData_pc

(

)

A float property (read-only) containing the amount of data missing in the current image.

The value of this property will be 0 almost always. However if a device can detect blocks of missing data and an image request has returned with mvIMPACT.acquire.TRequestResult.rrFrameIncomplete to indicate that not all the data has been captured, this property will contain the amount of data missing in percent.

getInfoSettingUsed()

PropertyI getInfoSettingUsed

(

)

A enumerated integer property (read-only) containing the setting that was used for processing this request.

The string representation will be a valid setting name, the integer representation can be casted into a mvIMPACT.acquire.HOBJ type.

getInfoTimeStamp_us()

PropertyI64 getInfoTimeStamp_us

(

)

A 64 bit integer property (read-only) containing a timestamp to define the exact time this image has been captured.

(usually either at exposure start or exposure end, depending on the device). mvBlueFOX specific: The counter of the timestamp starts when the camera gets initialized. It is measured in us.

getInfoTransferDelay_us()

PropertyI getInfoTransferDelay_us

(

)

An integer property (read-only) containing the time the transaction of this image has been delayed (in us) because either the bus was blocked or the CPU was busy.

Normally this value will be 0. A value larger than 0 indicates that the system can't manage the current load.

Note

This property is not supported by every device. Therefore always call the function mvIMPACT.acquire.Component.isValid to check if this property is available or not.

getInfoVideoChannel()

PropertyI getInfoVideoChannel

(

)

An integer property (read-only) containing the video input channel of the device this image has been acquired from.

Note

getRequestState()

PropertyI getRequestState

(

)

An enumerated integer property (read-only) defining the current state of this request.

This parameter indicates the current state of this request. A mvIMPACT.acquire.Request e.g. can currently be idle. This would mean that it is currently not used for image acquisition. Also a mvIMPACT.acquire.Request can be in 'Capturing' state, which means it is currently processed by the driver.

Valid values for this property are defined by the enumeration mvIMPACT.acquire.TRequestState.

hasProcessingBeenSkipped()

boolean hasProcessingBeenSkipped

(

)

Checks if image processing that was set up for this request has been skipped for performance reasons.

If mvIMPACT.acquire.Device.getUserControlledImageProcessingEnable() is set to mvIMPACT.acquire.TBoolean.bTrue and mvIMPACT.acquire.SystemSettings.getImageProcessingMode() is set to mvIMPACT.acquire.TImageProcessingMode.ipmProcessLatestOnly this function can be used to check if at least one algorithm has been skipped because of a lack of processing time.

isOK()

boolean isOK

(

)

Convenience function to check if a request has been processed successfully.

// 'nr' is assumed to be a valid request number returned from a previous call to
// mvIMPACT.acquire.FunctionInterface.imageRequestWaitFor()
Request pRequest = fi.getRequest( nr );
if( pRequest.getRequestResult().read() == TRequestResult.rrOK )
{
  // do something
}

unlock()

int unlock

(

)

Unlocks the request for the driver again.

To ensure that no image data is overwritten by another image request while the user still deals with the image from a previous acquisition each image buffer will be locked by the driver when it is returned to the user by a call to mvIMPACT.acquire.FunctionInterface.imageRequestWaitFor. No new image will be captured into the same buffer until the user unlocks the buffer again by calling mvIMPACT.acquire.Request.unlock or mvIMPACT.acquire.FunctionInterface.imageRequestUnlock.

Note

After unlocking a request it is no longer guaranteed that the memory once referenced by the request and the image buffer belonging to it stays valid, so do NEVER try to access memory belonging to an unlocked request object. If you need to copy the image buffer or modify it in any other way, do everything you have to do BEFORE calling this function!
