Linea Lite GigE Series Camera

Operational Reference

•

Camera Information Category

Camera information can be retrieved via a controlling application. Parameters such as camera

model, firmware version, etc. are read to uniquely identify the connected Linea Lite GigE device.

These features are typically read-only. GigE Vision applications retrieve this information to identify

the camera along with its characteristics.
The Camera Information category groups information specific to the individual GigE Vision camera.

The features shown are identical whether the view is Beginner, Expert or Guru.
