  • Page 55: Basler Network Drivers And Parameters

    Two network drivers are available for the network adapter used with your GigE cameras: The Basler filter driver is a basic GigE Vision network driver that is compatible with all  network adapters. The advantage of this driver is its extensive compatibility.

  • Page 56: The Basler Filter Driver

    AW00011916000 The Basler Filter Driver The Basler filter driver is a basic driver GigE Vision network driver. It is designed to be compatible with most network adapter cards. The functionality of the filter driver is relatively simple. For each frame, the driver checks the order of the incoming packets.

  • Page 57: The Basler Performance Driver

    The Basler performance driver uses a "receive window" to check the status of packets. The check for missing packets is made as packets enter the receive window. If a packet arrives from higher in the sequence of packets than expected, the preceding skipped packet or packets are detected as missing.
  • Page 58 Basler Network Drivers and Parameters AW00011916000 General Parameters Enable Resend - Enables the packet resend mechanisms. If the Enable Resend parameter is set to false, the resend mechanisms are disabled. The performance driver will not check for missing packets and will not send resend requests to the camera.
  • Page 59 AW00011916000 Basler Network Drivers and Parameters Resend Request Threshold - This parameter determines the location of the resend request threshold within the receive window as shown in Figure 28. The parameter value is in per cent of the width of the receive window. In Figure 28 the resend request threshold is set at 33.33% of the width of the receive window.
  • Page 60 Basler Network Drivers and Parameters AW00011916000 Timeout Resend Mechanism Parameters The timeout resend mechanism is illustrated in Figure 29 where the following assumptions are made: The frame includes 3000 packets.  Packet 1002 is missing within the stream of packets and has not been recovered.
  • Page 61 AW00011916000 Basler Network Drivers and Parameters Maximum Number Resend Requests - The Maximum Number Resend Requests parameter sets the maximum number of resend requests the performance driver will send to the camera for each missing packet. Resend Timeout - The Resend Timeout parameter defines how long (in milliseconds) the performance driver will wait after detecting that a packet is missing before sending a resend request to the camera.
  • Page 62 Basler Network Drivers and Parameters AW00011916000 Threshold and Timeout Resend Mechanisms Combined Figure 30 illustrates the combined action of the threshold and the timeout resend mechanisms where the following assumptions are made: All parameters set to default.  The frame includes 3000 packets.
