Port IMAGE - DEFAULT¶

Default port for interaction with MGB frame grabbers

Stimulation¶

This port has no stimulus capabilities.

Specifics¶

With the tooljobs GetConfigProperties and SetConfigProperties the configurations that are also accessible via the webinterface of the MGB can be read and changed while running a test case. A list of the available options can be found on the Digiteq MGB online documentation or on the device itself at http://<MGB_IP>/manual/ctlsock.html#section_configuration_properties.
