Camera Registers
All camera features are described and summarized in an "electronically readable manual" file. The
file is coded in ASCII using the Extensible Markup Language (XML) to describe each feature as a XML
feature knot.
Each feature knot consists at least of:
the feature type (command, string, integer...)
its access mode (r/w)
a descriptive name ('friendly name') of the feature
the corresponding register address
a short description of the feature in plain ASCII
There are also a number of additional elements that make a complete feature description. For
example the minimum and maximum values or its default value. Please, refer to the GenICam
documentation for further details.
The features in the XML file are grouped according to their meaning (e.g. Bootstrap registers, Image
format...).
The XML file can be saved (compressed or uncompressed) in the camera or as external file on your
local computer or a remote host. The file path (URL) can be read in 'XmlUrlAddress'.
Notes
If not stated otherwise, all integer values will be interpreted as
32 bit unsigned integers.
All strings are NULL terminated and consist of 8 bit chars.
