Extracting Metadata Stored In A Sapera Buffer - Teledyne G3-GM10-M0641 User Manual

Extracting Metadata Stored in a Sapera Buffer

For Sapera LT developers, a new class "SapMetadata" is now included with Sapera version 8.10.
For users of earlier versions of Sapera 8.xx, please contact Teledyne DALSA technical support.
Sapera also provides two methods to view metadata. The Sapera CamExpert tool provides a tab
(when the Metadata feature is enabled) to view the metadata of the last frame capture, as shown
by the following image.
Alternatively, Sapera LT provides a demo program called GigEMetaDataDemo.exe which will grab a
number of frames and display the metadata or save it to a file (.csv). In addition, source code and
C++ project files are included for a console based executable.
The following figure shows the Sapera Explorer tool screen with the Metadata Example highlighted.
Important:
When an internal
(ExposureTime) and Exposure Delay (exposureDelay) are not valid values and must be ignored.
When in free running (not triggered) mode, the Metadata value for feature Exposure Delay
(exposureDelay) is not a valid value and must be ignored.
The value of LineStatusAll is updated on the start of exposure.
