12.1.4 Image Export: TCP/IP

Image export TCP/IP is a proprietary TCP/IP protocol that is supported only on Ethernet ports.

Navigate:

System

Settings

Communications

> Image Export, select which images to export, and select TCP/IP from the Ethernet

Protocol list.

Port Number

Set the port number to use for the export. The default is 32200. This port number cannot be the same as the Data Export port

number or other ports in use.

Hold READY

During the image export

operation

the sensor's output channels might become full. This can occur if the sensor is producing

export data (images) faster than the data can be exported from the device (due to bandwidth

limitations)

or faster than the

client is reading the channel export data.
The Hold READY

setting

affects

how the sensor behaves in this

situation.

• Select the Hold READY checkbox prevent new triggers from being accepted

until

the current image has been exported.

This ensures that all images are exported. In this case, the READY signal will remain

inactive

(sensor is busy)

until

the

new image has been added to the channel for export. Triggers might be missed during this

time.

• Clear the Hold READY checkbox to accept new triggers while the current image is exported. This causes the sensor to

discard the new image if the channel is full and

activate

the READY signal immediately

after

the current

inspection

complete. In this case, the discarded images will not be exported.

Important: When the checkbox is cleared, not all images will be exported. When the checkbox is

selected, the sensor will be busy (not ready)

until

the image has been

written

to the network;

inspection

times

will increase based on network throughput.

Inspection

images match the

resolution

of the camera and are 8-bits per pixel grayscale images in Windows BMP format that represent

all of the data in a full Field of View (FOV).
Each exported image is composed of a header (64 bytes) followed by the image data; see the following tables. All 16- and 32- bit

numeric entries are

little

endian.

Note: If Image Export is enabled, the receiver

application

is running under

Microsoft

Windows, and the sensor is observed

experiencing occasional extended not ready states, examine the value of the TCPAckFrequency parameter in the Windows

Registry. An incorrect

setting

of this Windows Registry parameter can cause the sensor to slow down when

exporting

images to

Windows systems. Consult your local IT support personnel with

specific

questions.

Banner Image Export Sample Program

The VE Series camera includes an Image Export sample

application

that provides a way to save exported images. In a

production

environment, you will need to write your own

application

to process exported images, for example to display them on an HMI or to save

them to disk.

Windows BMP image. Image size is not

fixed

for JPEG images (if supported).
