8.12 Device Information Parameters

Each camera includes a set of "device information" parameters. These parameters provide some
basic information about the camera. The device information parameters include:
DeviceVendorName (read only) - indicates the name of the camera's vendor. This string will

always indicate Basler as the vendor.
DeviceModelName (read only) - indicates the model name of the camera, for example,

raL2048-80km.
DeviceManufacturerInfo (read only) - can indicate some information about the camera

manufacturer. This string usually indicates "none".
DeviceVersion (read only) - indicates the device version number for the camera.

FirmwareVersion (read only) - indicates the version of the firmware in the camera.

DeviceID (read only) - indicates the serial number of the camera.

DeviceUserID (read / write) - is used to assign a user defined name to a device. This name will

be displayed in the Basler pylon Viewer. The name will also be visible in the "friendly name"
field of the device information objects returned by pylon's device enumeration procedure.
DeviceScanType (read only) - indicates the scan type of the camera (line scan).

SensorWidth (read only) - indicates the physical width of the sensor in pixels. The parameter

value is identical with the camera's maximum possible resolution.
SensorHeight (read only) - indicates the physical height of the sensor in pixels.

MaxWidth (read only) - indicates the camera's maximum possible width setting for an image

AOI.

Working with Device Information Parameters Using Basler pylon
You can read the values for all of the device information parameters or set the value of the
DeviceUserID parameter from within your application software by using the pylon API. The following
code snippets illustrate using the API to read the parameters or write the DeviceUserID:
// Read the Vendor Name parameter
Pylon::String_t vendorName = camera.DeviceVendorName.GetValue();
// Read the Model Name parameter
Pylon::String_t modelName = camera.DeviceModelName.GetValue();
// Read the Manufacturer Info parameter
Pylon::String_t manufacturerInfo = camera.DeviceManufacturerInfo.GetValue();
// Read the Device Version parameter
Pylon::String_t deviceVersion = camera.DeviceVersion.GetValue();
