11. JAI control tool
In this section, the general operation of the JAI control tool is explained. For more
details regarding the JAI control tool, please refer to the JAI control tool
documentation provided in the JAI SDK.
11.1. About GenICam
TM
SFNC1.3
The CM-030GE and CB-030GE series are now redesigned as conforming to GenICam
SFNC1.3. GenICam SFNC stands for GenICam Standard Features Naming Convention. By
defining the standard cases and the standard features, general-purpose software can
control cameras from any manufacturers which conform to the GenICam standard.
JAI, in the past, used traditional feature names in order to maintain naming continuity
with previous cameras.
However, new revisions of cameras comply with GenICam
SFNC feature names, even though the traditional feature names are still maintained.
Terminologies used for functions will be much different from previous models. This
manual explains the basic operation using feature names specified in the GenICam
SFNC 1.3 specification.
The latest version of JAI GigE Vision cameras comply with GenICam SFNC1.3. However,
JAI can offer the following options for customers who use older versions of GIgE Vision
cameras.
JAI provides the following software.
1. Version prior to SFNC 1.3 for older camera version
2. Downgrade to old version from the latest SFNC 1.3 version
Please contact local sales representatives for the details
11.2. JAI SDK Ver.1.3
JAI SDK has also been upgraded to version 1.3.
In a GigE Vision compliant camera, all features are described in the XML file inside
the camera and after connecting JAI Control Tool software, all features are
downloaded to the JAI Control Tool software. If customers use older versions of
cameras together with the Control Tool software ver.1.3, feature properties shown in
the Control Tool exhibit old feature names, enabling customers to operate cameras in
a familiar way.
If the latest version of the camera is connected, some traditional JAI feature names
such as JAI Preset Shutter, will display in the Feature Properties in addition to the
newer GenICam SFNC 1.3 names.
These features can be set as usual and settings for those features are reflected
automatically in the GenICam SFNC 1.3 feature names.
