Appendix A: GenICam
Commands
This appendix lists the available GenICam camera features. Access these features using the
CamExpert interface.
Parameters in gray are read only, either always or due to another parameter being disabled.
Parameters in black are user set in CamExpert or programmable via an imaging application.
Features listed in the description table but tagged as Invisible are typically reserved for Teledyne
DALSA Support or third party software usage, and not typically required by end user applications.
Additionally the Standard column will indicate which parameter is a member of the custom DALSA
Features Naming Convention (denoted by DFNC), versus the GenICam Standard Features Naming
Convention (SFNC not shown).
Camera Information Category
The camera information group provides general information about the camera. Parameters such as
camera model and firmware version uniquely identify the connected device. As well, temperature
can be monitored and user sets can be saved and loaded to and from the camera’s non-volatile
memory using the features grouped here.
