GenICam
GenICam provides a generic access to cameras and devices that is independent of
the interface. This enables operating cameras with USB3 Vision, GigE Vision, or
CoaXPress interfaces with a common software.
GenICam consists of multiple modules for different tasks. Allied Vision cameras and
software use these modules, such as the SFNC that standardizes feature names
and types via an XML file.
