After connecting the camera (see Chapter 3), the main window displays the following controls
(see Fig. 7.1):

Disconnect

Disconnect the camera

Mode

Acquisition mode

Play

Start acquisition

Stop

Stop acquisition

Acquisition Control Mode

Continuous, Single Frame or Multi Frame modes. The number of

frames that are acquired in Multi Frame mode can be set in the GEV Device Control with

AcquisitionFrameCount

in the

AcquisitionControl

category.

Communication control

Set communication properties.

GEV Device control

Set properties of the camera head, IP properties and properties of the PLC

(Programmable Logic Controller, see also Section 6.6 and document [PLC]).

Image stream control

Set image stream properties and display image stream statistics.

Figure 7.1: PF_GEVPlayer main window

Below the image display there are two lines with status information

7.2.2

GEV Control Windows

This section describes the basic use of the GEV Control windows, e.g. the

GEV Device Control

window.

The view of the properties in the control window can be changed as described below. At start
the properties are grouped in categories which are expanded and whose title is displayed in
bold letters. An overview of the available view controls of the GEV Control windows is shown
in Fig. 7.2.
