Smart_GrabImage_GenICam

Basic

Module: ThirdParty

Captures an image from a smart camera. Allows for remote access to the runtime system.

Name Type Description
Input value inIpAddress SmartIPAddress IP address of the runtime system (e.g. a smart camera)
Input value inDeviceID GenAddress* Tries to find the camera in all available IDs (UserID, VendorName, ModelName...)
Input value inPixelFormat RemoteGrabberPixelFormat*
Output value outImage Image Captured frame
Output value outIsRemote Bool

Hints

  • Check the IP address of your runtime system (e.g. using the "ipconfig" command) and set it to the inIpAddress input.
  • Set an appropriate inPixelFormat.
  • Run the program on you runtime system and the camera filter will acquire images directly on it.
  • Run the program on your development machine (e.g. your laptop) connected to the same Ethernet and the camera filter will receive images through a connection with the runtime system.

Troubleshooting:

  • Turn off the firewall on the device where the runtime system is launched.
  • Check the inDeviceID parameter and either select the GenTL device from the manager ([...] icon on the right) or manually set the parameters if the GenTL is not available (plus icon on the left). In this case you have to fill in all the positions on the list (inDeviceID.VendorName, inDeviceID.TLType, inDeviceID.DeviceID).
