8. If you have not already done so, name your camera. Open the Device Control
item in the structure tree. Enter the name for your Matrox GatorEye in the Device
User ID edit field.
9. To save the changes made with Matrox Intellicam's feature browser, use the
UserSetSelector and UserSetSave GenICam-standard features. These features
allow you to select a name (UserSetn, where n is a value from 1 to 3) and then
save the camera's current configuration. To reload it, use the UserSetSelector
feature to identify the group of settings and then use either the UserSetLoad or
the UserSetDefaultSelector features.
The UserSetSave feature saves the GenICam feature values to your Matrox
GatorEye. Saving a set of feature values allows you to revert your camera's settings
to a user-designed set of defaults.
Alternatively, you can save the modified DCF using the File Save As menu
command. Once saved, the DCF can be reloaded in Matrox Intellicam (as
described in step 4) on any of your Matrox GatorEye cameras and/or used in MIL.
Controlling the GenICam features of your Matrox GatorEye
using MIL
To inquire and control the GenICam-standard and extension features of your
Matrox GatorEye using MIL, perform the following:
1. Allocate a MIL application, a GigE Vision system, a digitizer, and buffers,
according to the needs of your MIL application.
In the case where you have multiple GigE Vision cameras on your network, you
can use MsysInquire() with
cameras available. To allocate a digitizer for a specific GigE Vision camera, use
MdigAlloc() with the
name or its IP address.
2. Use MdigInquireFeature() to inquire the current value of the required feature.
To learn the list of GenICam-standard features available, refer to the
GenICam-standard Feature Naming Convention, available on the GenICam
website at: http:\\www.genicam.org. Additional GenICam-extension features,
specific to the Matrox GatorEye camera, are documented later in this chapter.
