AILDigitizer_GrabImage_WithTimeout (AILDigitizer_GrabImage WithTimeout)

Advanced

Module: ThirdParty

Captures an image from the digitizer with timeout.

Name Type Range Description
Input value inDeviceID AILSystemAndDeviceIdentifierDigitizer* Device identification.
Input value inInputQueueSize Integer 1 - Capacity of output frames queue.
Input value inTimeout Integer 100 - Maximum time to wait.
Input value inSkipInvalidFrames Bool Skips invalid frames.
Output value outImage Image? Captured image.
Output value outFrameData AILFrameInformation? Frame data of the captured image.

Remarks

I/O device driver software

This filter is intended to cooperate with AIL digitizer systems:

  • GigeVision - can work with cameras connected by Ethernet cable;
  • GenTL - AIL specific devices like Matrox CoaXPress GenTL Producer;
  • USB3Vision - can work with cameras connected by USB3 cable;
  • RapixoCxp and RapixoCL - Rapixo frame grabbers for CoaXPress and Camera Link protocols;
  • IrisGTX - Iris GTX Smart Camera;

To be able to connect to the device, it is required to install Zebra AIL X SDK (Lite or Full version).

Adding the DLL path to system environment variables may be required.

Recommended Zebra AIL X SDK version for Aurora Vision Studio usage is V22H1 (10.70.0963).

Device identification

System field is used to specify camera protocol.

  • Host
  • GigeVision
  • GenTL
  • USB3Vision
  • RapixoCxp
  • RapixoCL
  • IrisGTX

Device field specifies the hardware board identifier within the selected system. Device can be set to:

  • DEFAULT - Specifies the default board. The default board is set in the MILConfig utility.
  • DEVn - Specifies the device number (rank) of the board (where 0 <= n <=15).

GenTLProducerIndex field is used to specify the index of the GenTL Producer - index is between 0 and 127. It is used only when System is set to GenTL.

Digitizer field specifies how the camera should be accessed. Digitizer can be set to:

  • DEFAULT - Specifies the default board. The default board is set in the MILConfig utility.
  • DEVn - Specifies the device number (rank) of the board (where 0 <= n <=15).
  • CamIp - Specifies that camera should connect using its IP address.
  • CamName - Specifies that camera should connect using its name.

CamID field is used when Digitizer is set to CamIp or CamName.

Note: It is strongly recommended to set the appropriate Device and Digitizer parameter to avoid communication issues.
