Camera information feature descriptions

The following table describes these parameters along with their view attributes and in which
version of the device the feature was introduced. Additionally the Device Version column will
indicate which parameter is a member of the DALSA Features Naming Convention (using the
tag

DFNC

), versus the GenICam Standard Features Naming Convention (SFNC not shown).

The Device Version number represents the camera software functional group, not a
firmware revision number.
