Detailed Description

Defines valid interface layouts for the device.

The device interface layout defines what kind of features will be available after the device driver has been opened and where these features will be located. Apart from that the interface layout also has impact at what time property values will be buffered for buffer captures.

Member Data Documentation

dilDeviceSpecific

final int dilDeviceSpecific = acquireJNI.dilDeviceSpecific_get()

static

A device specific interface shall be used(deprecated for all GenICam™ compliant devices).

For most devices supported by this SDK this will be the only interface layout available. In this interface layout also most of the features will have the same name and location for every device even if a device is operated using another device driver. However this interface layout requires the driver to have detailed information about the underlying hardware, thus it will not be available for any third party hardware which might be usable with a certain device driver.

In contrast to the other interface layouts, this layout will use a buffered property approach. This means that consecutive buffers can be requested each using defined but different settings. At the time of requesting a buffer, the driver will internally store the current property settings and will re-program the hardware later at the time of processing this request if the current settings differ from the settings that shall be used for this request.

Deprecated

This interface layout has been declared deprecated for GenICam™ compliant devices(mvBlueCOUGAR-S, mvBlueCOUGAR-X and mvBlueCOUGAR-XD). For these products please use mvIMPACT.acquire.TDeviceInterfaceLayout.dilGenICam instead. Newer devices like the mvBlueFOX3 will not support this interface layout at all.

dilGenICam

final int dilGenICam = acquireJNI.dilGenICam_get()

static

A GenICam™ like interface layout shall be used.

This interface layout will be available when a device is (or claims to be) compliant with a the GenICam™ standard, thus provides a GenICam™ compliant XML interface description. This also applies for third party devices, which can be used with the GenICam™ GenTL Producer of Impact Acquire.

In this interface layout property value changes will always have immediate effect, thus when changing the exposure time directly after requesting a buffer this buffer might be captured with the new exposure time already depending on the time the buffer request is actually be processed.

Note

This interface layout will allow to access third party devices as well.
