Specifics¶
The GenICam standard enables cameras and frame grabbers from different manufacturers to be controlled via the same interface. To control cameras from a specific manufacturer, the paths to the CTI files supplied by the manufacturer must be entered line by line in the test bench configuration. You can mix different manufacturers and interfaces. The required CTI files are often located in the installation directory of the manufacturer’s software:
Example:
C:\Program Files\IDS\ids_peak\ids_u3vgentl\64\ids_u3vgentlk.cti
C:\Program Files\IDS\ids_peak\ids_u3vgentl\64\ids_u3vgentlk.cti
C:\Program Files\IDS\ids_peak\ids_ueyegentl\64\ids_ueyegentl.cti
C:\Program Files\Basler\pylon 7\Runtime\x64\ProducerGEV.cti
C:\Program Files\Basler\pylon 7\Runtime\x64\ProducerU3V.cti
