Using Genie TS with Sapera API
35
If the Genie has no lens, just select one of the internal test patterns available (
Image Format
Controls – Test Image Selector
). All but one are static images to use with the Snap or Grab
function of CamExpert. The single “moving” test image is a shifting diagonal ramp pattern,
which is useful for testing network/computer bandwidth issues. The CamExpert feature
selection and the grabbed pattern are shown below.
Note that CamExpert cannot be used to grab at high frame rates due to it generating an
interrupt for each video frame. The Sapera Grab Demo tool is better suited for high frame
rates.
Refer to the Teledyne DALSA Network Imaging package manual if error messages are shown in
the Output Messages pane. But first, increase the value of the Genie Interpacket Delay feature
available from the GigE Vision Transport Layer Category group in CamExpert. An increase from
default may correct errors with NIC interfaces that do not have adequate performance.
