AVT GigE Camera and Drivers Features V2.0.0

This document is a master document for all AVT GigE camera models and is NOT camera specific

PayloadSize [Integer] R

Total size of payload in bytes.

•If ChunkModeActive = True:

PayloadSize = ImageSize + NonImagePayloadSize + 8

•If ChunkModeActive = False:

PayloadSize = ImageSize

StreamHold

Normally, the camera sends data to the host computer immediately after com-

pletion of exposure. Enabling StreamHold delays the transmission of data,

storing it in on-camera memory, until StreamHold is disabled.

This feature can be useful to prevent GigE network flooding in situations where

a large number of cameras connected to a single host computer are capturing a

single event. Using the StreamHold function, each camera will hold the

event image data until the host computer disables StreamHold for each cam-

era in turn.

StreamHoldCapacity [Integer] R

The maximum number of images (for the current size and format) that can be

stored on the camera when StreamHold is enabled. Used in Acquisi-

tionMode = Recorder, or StreamHoldEnable = On. This value is dif-

ferent for each camera depending on the camera internal memory size and the

ImageSize.

StreamHoldEnable [Enum] R/W

Control on-camera image storage; this control is like a “pause” button for the

image stream.

UserSetControl

UserSetDefaultSelector [Enum] R/W

Selects the user set to be loaded on power-up or reset.

UserSetLoad [Command]

Loads camera parameters from the user set specified by UserSetSelector.

UserSetSave [Command]

Saves camera parameters to the user set specified by UserSetSelector.

The Default setting cannot be overwritten.

Units: Byte

Units: Frames

On Images remain stored on the camera, and

are not transmitted to the host

Off [Default] The image stream resumes, and

any stored images are sent to the host

Possible values: Default, UserSet1, UserSet2, UserSet3, UserSet4
