2. Feature description
This chapter describes the features from the feature list in chapter 2 in detail.
The methods you may use to read from and write to the features depend on the functions provided
by the API of the GigE Vision SDK of your choice. Because the GigE Vision interface is
standardize there are a number of different SDK's from different vendors you can use to
communicate with the camera.
The following description of the features gives you the 'raw' format for the commands and values
you will send to the camera or you will get from it. Each write command to the camera is receipt by
an ACK (0x06). Each read command returns the current value of the requested features followed
by a trailing ACK. If a command fails a NACK (0x15) is returned.
The format of the values you will get from the functions of the API of your choice may be differ
from this description. Please read the documentation of your SDK for details how they handle
read/write commands to the camera.
