Installation Options

Under certain circumstances, it might be desirable to modify the installation process of the Impact Acquire package. This can be achieved by passing additional parameters to the command line when starting the installation archive. When the original installer of the Impact Acquire installation package is used, the user will be prompted to restart the system at the end of the installation (depending on the used version of Windows). During reboot the GigE Vision™ capture filter driver might get installed by the GigEConfigure tool if GigE Vision™ support has been selected. When all the appropriate merge modules have been integrated into the setup, this will also happen in custom installations.

The following public properties can be used to customize your Impact Acquire installation for the target application:

PropertyPurposeValid values
ACCEPT_EULA Since Impact Acquire 2.22.0 all Balluff Impact Acquire installation packages require the user to accept the EULA (End User License Agreement) before a package can be installed. For installations using the command line, the ACCEPT_EULA property needs to be set to 'yes' to suppress the GUI EULA confirmation dialog.yes, (no); default: quiet: yes, else: (no)
FILTER_INSTALL_PARAMS Allows to customize the installation of the GigE Vision™ capture filter driver.All parameters that can be passed to GigEConfigure on the command line. In case of whitespaces in the parameter list, it must be enclosed in quotation marks. The full set of parameters available can be found here when navigating to the command-line interface chapter. This parameter is only taken into account if GEV_NDIS_DRIVER_INSTALL is set to yes.
GEV_SUPPORT Defines whether GigE Vision™ device support shall be installed or not.yes, no
GEV_NDIS_DRIVER_INSTALL Defines whether the GigE Vision™ capture filter driver shall be installed or not.yes, no
GigE Vision™ devices can also be operated without this kernel driver although at reduced performance. Setting this parameter to no must not be combined with the FILTER_INSTALL_PARAMS parameter.
MINIMAL_RUNTIME_INSTALLATION Allows to install only the bare runtime requirements of this framework.yes, no
PCIE_SUPPORT Defines whether proprietary PCIe device support shall be installed or not.yes, no
U3V_SUPPORT Defines whether USB3 Vision™ device support shall be installed or not.yes, no
USB2_SUPPORT Defines whether proprietary USB2 device support shall be installed or not.yes, no
VIRTUAL_DEVICE_SUPPORT Defines whether proprietary virtual device support shall be installed or not.yes, no
REMOVE_ALL_USER_DATA Defines whether additionally created data shall be forcibly removed during quiet uninstall. Ignored during installation.yes, no

These properties control the installation process, e.g. whether the corresponding kernel drivers will be installed on the target system or not. The default value for each property when omitted appears in bold in the list above, unless stated differently.

The installation of the GigE Vision™ capture filter driver can be customized as needed by specifying the FILTER_INSTALL_PARAMS on the command line. Valid values for the FILTER_INSTALL_PARAMS property are all valid command-line options for the GigEConfigure tool.
