GigEVision_WriteRegisterData

This filter is intended for cooperation with GigE Vision® compliant devices. Its purpose is to set a value into internal device parameter using GenICam interface.

This filter does not require other GigE Vision® filters in program (especially GigEVision_GrabImage is not obligatory), but can be used in any combination with them, including sharing access to single device with other filters. Device also does not have to be a transmitter.

Device address (inAddress port) is a textual definition of either IP, MAC or serial number. Use Device Manager (click "..." button in filter properties) to select appropriate address of connected device. For information on address type meaning and selecting device address see Device manager section in user manual.

This filter will interpret the value of inAddress port only during the first iteration of its parent Task, when the connection to the device is established. During the next iterations the filter will use previously established connection and subsequent changes in the device address will be ignored.

Parameter name (inParameterName port) must be an ID of GenICam parameter exported by device. Each device model can have different parameter names and its meanings. Refer to device documentation and use GenICam settings browser (click "..." button in filter properties) to select appropriate name of parameter (see: Device settings editor section).

This filter allows to write a raw binary data block into the device memory. Source data is provided in form of a ByteBuffer data type on the inBuffer input (filters from the Binary Data category can be used to generate its content). Data is written from the beginning of the register up to the size of the provided buffer. Attempt to write more data than the size of the register range will result in an error. Data will be sent to the device on every filter execution.

The name of the parameter must point to a GenICam parameter providing "IRegister" interface or error will be raised upon filter execution.

For general information about working with GigE Vision devices, please refer to the following article.

• Interactively select a camera available in your network by defining the inAddress input.
• Choose inParameterName from those supported by your camera.

This filter can throw an exception to report error. Read how to deal with errors in Error Handling.
