GigE IR & scientific camera and driver features
This document is a master document for all Allied Vision GigE camera models and is NOT camera specific
MulticastEnable [Boolean] R/W
Enables multicast mode. In multicast mode all computers on the same subnet
as the camera can receive image data from the camera MulticastIPAd-
dress.
MulticastIPAddress [Integer] R/W
Sets the multicast IP address.
Settings
Definition GVSP = GigE Vision Streaming Protocol
GVSPAdjustPacketSize [Command]
Requests the packet size used to be adjusted automatically.
GVSPBurstSize [Integer] R/W
Maximum number of GVSP packets to be processed in a burst.
GVSPDriverSelector [Enum] R/W
Streaming driver to be used.
GVSPHostReceiveBuffers [Integer] R/W
Number of buffers to be used by the network socket. Only applicable when not
using the Filter Driver.
GVSPMaxLookBack [Integer] R/W
Size of the look back window, in packets, when determining if a stream packet
is missing. When a stream packet arrives out of order, the driver skips back
GVSPMaxLookBack packets to see if the packets previous to this point have
all arrived. If not, a resend is issued. A lower value allows the driver less time to
assemble out-of-order packets; a larger value allows the driver more time. If the
value is set too low, the driver will issue unnecessary resends. If the value is set
too high and a packet truly is missing, the driver will issue a resend but the cam-
era may no longer have the required packet in its resend buffer and the packet
will be dropped. The ideal value is system dependent.
