Member Function Documentation

virtual void Pylon::CInstantCamera::Attach ( IPylonDevice pDevice,
ECleanup  cleanupProcedure = Cleanup_Delete 
)
virtual

Attaches a Pylon device to the Instant Camera.

Parameters
[in]pDeviceThe Pylon device to attach.
[in]cleanupProcedureIf cleanupProcedure equals Cleanup_Delete, the Pylon device is destroyed when the Instant Camera object is destroyed.
  • If a Pylon device is currently attached, it is destroyed (DestroyDevice()) or removed (DetachDevice()) depending on the previously set cleanup procedure value.
  • If the pDevice parameter is NULL, nothing more is done.
  • The OnAttach configuration event is fired. Possible C++ exceptions from event calls are caught and ignored. All event handlers are notified.
  • The new Pylon device is attached.
  • If the passed Pylon device is open, callbacks for camera events are registered at the camera node map. (This may fail)
  • If the passed Pylon device is open, a device removal call back is registered. (This may fail)
  • If the passed Pylon device is open, access modifiers (see IPylonDevice::Open()) are overtaken as camera parameters.
  • The OnAttached configuration event is fired. Possible C++ exceptions from event calls are caught and ignored. All event handlers are notified.
Postcondition
  • If the passed pointer to the Pylon device is NULL, the Instant Camera object is in the "no device attached" state.
  • If the passed pointer to the Pylon device is not NULL, the passed Pylon device is attached.
  • If the set cleanup procedure equals Cleanup_Delete, the Pylon device is destroyed when the Instant Camera object is destroyed or a new device is attached.
  • If the passed Pylon device is open and the registration of callbacks fails, the Instant Camera object is in the "no device attached" state.
  • The opened-by-user flag is set, preventing closing of the Pylon device on StopGrabbing() when the attached Pylon device is already open.
Error Safety:
May throw an exception if the passed Pylon device is open. Does not throw C++ exceptions if the passed Pylon device is closed or NULL.
Thread Safety:
This method is synchronized using the lock provided by GetLock().
virtual bool Pylon::CInstantCamera::CanWaitForFrameTriggerReady ( ) const
virtual

Checks to see whether the camera device can be queried whether it is ready to accept the next frame trigger.

If 'FrameTriggerWait' can be selected for 'AcquisitionStatusSelector' and 'AcquisitionStatus' is readable, the camera device can be queried whether it is ready to accept the next frame trigger.

If the nodes mentioned above are not available and the 'SoftwareTrigger' node is readable, the camera device can be queried whether it is ready to accept the next frame trigger.

Note
If a camera device can't be queried whether it is ready to accept the next frame trigger, the camera device is ready to accept the next trigger after the last image triggered has been grabbed, e.g. after you have retrieved the last image triggered using RetrieveResult(). Camera devices that can be queried whether they are ready to accept the next frame trigger, may not be ready for the next frame trigger after the last image triggered has been grabbed.
Returns
Returns true if the camera is open and the camera device can be queried whether it is ready to accept the next frame trigger.
Postcondition
The 'AcquisitionStatusSelector' is set to 'FrameTriggerWait' if writable.

virtual bool Pylon::CInstantCamera::GrabOne ( unsigned int  timeoutMs,
CGrabResultPtr grabResult,
ETimeoutHandling  timeoutHandling = TimeoutHandling_ThrowException 
)
virtual

Grabs one image.

The following code shows a simplified version of what is done (happy path):

//grab one image
//grab is stopped automatically due to maxImages = 1
return RetrieveResult( timeoutMs, grabResult, timeoutHandling) && grabResult->GrabSucceeded();

GrabOne() can be used to together with the CAcquireSingleFrameConfiguration.

Note
Using GrabOne is more efficient if the Pylon device is already open, otherwise the Pylon device is opened and closed for each call.
Grabbing single images using Software Trigger (CSoftwareTriggerConfiguration) is recommended if you want to maximize frame rate. This is because the overhead per grabbed image is reduced compared to Single Frame Acquisition. The grabbing can be started using StartGrabbing(). Images are grabbed using the WaitForFrameTriggerReady(), ExecuteSoftwareTrigger() and RetrieveResult() methods instead of using GrabOne. The grab can be stopped using StopGrabbing() when done.
Parameters
[in]timeoutMsA timeout value in ms for waiting for a grab result, or the INFINITE value.
[out]grabResultReceives the grab result.
[in]timeoutHandlingIf timeoutHandling equals TimeoutHandling_ThrowException, a timeout exception is thrown on timeout.
Returns
Returns true if the call successfully retrieved a grab result and the grab succeeded (CGrabResultData::GrabSucceeded()).
Precondition
Must meet the preconditions of start grabbing.
Postcondition
Meets the postconditions of stop grabbing.
Error Safety:
The Instant Camera object is still valid after error. See StartGrabbing(), RetrieveResult(), and StopGrabbing() . In the case of exceptions after StartGrabbing() the grabbing is stopped using StopGrabbing().
virtual bool Pylon::CInstantCamera::HasOwnership ( ) const
virtual

Returns the ownership of the attached Pylon device.

Returns
True if a Pylon device is attached and the Instant Camera object has been given the ownership by passing the cleanup procedure Cleanup_Delete when calling Attach().

virtual void Pylon::CInstantCamera::Open ( )
virtual

Opens the attached Pylon device.

  • Opened by user flag is set, preventing closing of the device on StopGrabbing().
  • If the Pylon device is already open, nothing more is done.
  • The OnOpen configuration event is fired. The notification of event handlers stops when an event call triggers an exception.
  • The Pylon device is opened.
  • A device removal call back is registered at the Pylon device.
  • Callbacks for camera events are registered at the camera node map.
  • The OnOpened configuration event is fired if the Pylon device has been opened successfully. The notification of event handlers stops when an event call triggers an exception.
Precondition
A Pylon device is attached.
Postcondition
  • The Pylon device is open.
  • Opened by user flag is set, preventing closing of the Pylon device on StopGrabbing().
Error Safety:
The Instant Camera object is still valid after error. The Pylon device open may throw. Configuration event calls may throw. Callback registrations may throw. The Pylon device is closed with Close() if the OnOpened event call triggers an exception.
Thread Safety:
This method is synchronized using the lock provided by GetLock().
virtual void Pylon::CInstantCamera::RegisterCameraEventHandler ( CCameraEventHandler pCameraEventHandler,
const String_t nodeName,
intptr_t  userProvidedId,
ERegistrationMode  mode,
ECleanup  cleanupProcedure,
ECameraEventAvailability  availability = CameraEventAvailability_Mandatory 
)
virtual

Adds an camera event handler to the list of registered camera event handler objects.

  • If mode equals RegistrationMode_ReplaceAll, the list of registered camera event handlers is cleared.
  • If the pointer pCameraEventHandler is not NULL, it is appended to the list of camera event handlers.
Parameters
[in]pCameraEventHandlerThe receiver of camera events.
[in]nodeNameThe name of the event data node updated on camera event, e.g. "ExposureEndEventTimestamp" for exposure end event.
[in]userProvidedIdThis ID is passed as a parameter in CCameraEventHandler::OnCameraEvent and can be used to distinguish between different events. It is recommended to create an own application specific enum and use it's values as IDs.
[in]modeIndicates how to register the new cameraEventHandler.
[in]cleanupProcedureIf cleanupProcedure equals Cleanup_Delete, the passed event handler is deleted when no longer needed.
[in]availabilityIf availability equals CameraEventAvailability_Mandatory, the camera must support the data node specified by node name. If not, an exception is thrown when the Instant Camera is open, the Instant Camera is opened, or an open Pylon device is attached.

Internally, a GenApi node call back is registered for the node identified by nodeName. This callback triggers a call to the CCameraEventHandler::OnCameraEvent() method. That's why a Camera Event Handler can be registered for any node of the camera node map to get informed about changes.

Postcondition
The cameraEventHandler is registered and called on camera events.
Error Safety:
Throws an exception if the availability is set to CameraEventAvailability_Mandatory and the node with the name nodeName is not available in the camera node map (see GetNodeMap()). Throws an exception fail if the node callback registration fails. The event handler is not registered when an C++ exception is thrown.
Thread Safety:
This method is synchronized using the camera event handler lock. If the camera is open, the lock provided by GetLock() and the camera node map lock are also used for synchronization.
virtual void Pylon::CInstantCamera::RegisterConfiguration ( CConfigurationEventHandler pConfigurator,
ERegistrationMode  mode,
ECleanup  cleanupProcedure 
)
virtual

Adds a configurator to the list of registered configurator objects.

  • If mode equals RegistrationMode_ReplaceAll, the list of registered configurators is cleared.
  • If pointer pConfigurator is not NULL, it is appended to the list of configurators.
Parameters
[in]pConfiguratorThe receiver of configuration events.
[in]modeIndicates how to register the new configurator.
[in]cleanupProcedureIf cleanupProcedure equals Cleanup_Delete, the passed event handler is deleted when no longer needed.
Postcondition
The configurator is registered and called on configuration events.
Error Safety:
Does not throw C++ exceptions, except when memory allocation fails.
Thread Safety:
This method is synchronized using the lock provided by GetLock().
virtual void Pylon::CInstantCamera::RegisterImageEventHandler ( CImageEventHandler pImageEventHandler,
ERegistrationMode  mode,
ECleanup  cleanupProcedure 
)
virtual

  • If mode equals RegistrationMode_ReplaceAll, the list of registered image event handlers is cleared.
  • If pointer pImageEventHandler is not NULL, it is appended to the list of image event handlers.
Parameters
[in]pImageEventHandlerThe receiver of image events.
[in]modeIndicates how to register the new imageEventHandler.
[in]cleanupProcedureIf cleanupProcedure equals Cleanup_Delete, the passed event handler is deleted when no longer needed.
Postcondition
The imageEventHandler is registered and called on image related events.
Error Safety:
Does not throw C++ exceptions, except when memory allocation fails.
Thread Safety:
This method is synchronized using the internal image event handler registry lock.
virtual bool Pylon::CInstantCamera::RetrieveResult ( unsigned int  timeoutMs,
CGrabResultPtr grabResult,
ETimeoutHandling  timeoutHandling = TimeoutHandling_ThrowException 
)
virtual

Retrieves a grab result according to the strategy, waits if it is not yet available.

  • The content of the passed grab result is released.
  • If no Pylon device is attached or the grabbing is not started, the method returns immediately "false".
  • Wait for a grab result if it is not yet available. The access to the camera is not locked during waiting. Camera events are handled.
  • Only if camera events are used: Incoming camera events are handled.
  • One grab result is retrieved per call according to the strategy applied.
  • Only if chunk mode is used: The chunk data parsing is performed. The grab result data is updated using chunk data.
  • The image event OnImagesSkipped is fired if grab results have been skipped according to the strategy. The notification of event handlers stops when an event call triggers an exception.
  • The image event OnImageGrabbed is fired if a grab result becomes available. The notification of event handlers stops when an event call triggers an exception.
  • Stops the grabbing by calling StopGrabbing() if the maximum number of images has been grabbed.

It needs to be checked whether the grab represented by the grab result has been successful, see CGrabResultData::GrabSucceeded().

Parameters
[in]timeoutMsA timeout value in ms for waiting for a grab result, or the INFINITE value.
[out]grabResultReceives the grab result.
[in]timeoutHandlingIf timeoutHandling equals TimeoutHandling_ThrowException, a timeout exception is thrown on timeout.
Returns
True if the call successfully retrieved a grab result, false otherwise.
Precondition
  • There is no other thread waiting for a result. This will be the case when the Instant Camera grab loop thread is used.
Postcondition
  • If a grab result has been retrieved, one image is removed from the output queue and is returned in the grabResult parameter.
  • If no grab result has been retrieved, an empty grab result is returned in the grabResult parameter.
  • If the maximum number of images has been grabbed, the grabbing is stopped.
  • If camera event handling is enabled and camera events were received, at least one or more camera event messages have been processed.
Error Safety:
The Instant Camera object is still valid after error. The grabbing is stopped if an exception is thrown.
Thread Safety:
This method is synchronized using the lock provided by GetLock() while not waiting.
virtual void Pylon::CInstantCamera::SetBufferFactory ( IBufferFactory pFactory,
ECleanup  cleanupProcedure = Cleanup_Delete 
)
virtual

Sets an alternative buffer factory that is used for buffer allocation.

This use of this method is optional and intended for advanced use cases only.

If NULL is passed as buffer factory then the default buffer factory is used. Buffers are allocated when StartGrabbing is called. A buffer factory must not be deleted while it is attached to the camera object and it must not be deleted until the last buffer is freed. To free all buffers the grab needs to be stopped and all grab results must be released or destroyed.

Parameters
[in]pFactoryA pointer to a buffer factory.
[in]cleanupProcedureIf ownership is cleanupProcedure Cleanup_Delete, the passed factory is destroyed when no longer needed.
Thread Safety:
This method is synchronized using the lock provided by GetLock().
virtual void Pylon::CInstantCamera::SetCameraContext ( intptr_t  context)
virtual

Sets a context that is attached to each grab result of the camera object on RetrieveResult().

This is useful when handling multiple cameras. It has nothing in common with the context passed to the stream grabber when queuing a buffer.

Error Safety:
Does not throw C++ exceptions.
Thread Safety:
This method is synchronized using the lock provided by GetLock().
virtual void Pylon::CInstantCamera::StartGrabbing ( EGrabStrategy  strategy = GrabStrategy_OneByOne,
EGrabLoop  grabLoopType = GrabLoop_ProvidedByUser 
)
virtual

Starts the grabbing of images.

  • If a grab loop thread has been used in the last grab session, the grab loop thread context is joined with the caller's context.
  • If the Pylon device is not already open, it is opened by calling Open().
  • The configuration event OnGrabStart is fired. The notification of event handlers stops when an event call triggers an exception.
  • Grab-specific parameters of the camera object are locked, e.g. MaxNumBuffers.
  • If the camera device parameter ChunkModeActive is enabled, the Instant Camera chunk parsing support is initialized.
  • If the Instant Camera parameter GrabCameraEvents is enabled, the Instant Camera event grabbing support is initialized.
  • The grabbing is started.
  • The configuration event OnGrabStarted is fired if the grab has been started successfully. The notification of event handlers stops when an event call triggers an exception.
  • If grabLoopType equals GrabLoop_ProvidedByInstantCamera, an additional grab loop thread is started calling RetrieveResult( GrabLoopThreadTimeout, grabResult) in a loop.
Parameters
[in]strategyThe grab strategy. See Pylon::EGrabStrategy for more information
[in]grabLoopTypeIf grabLoopType equals GrabLoop_ProvidedByInstantCamera, an additional grab loop thread is used to run the grab loop.
Precondition
  • A Pylon device is attached.
  • The stream grabber of the Pylon device is closed.
  • The grabbing is stopped.
  • The attached Pylon device supports grabbing.
  • Must not be called while holding the lock provided by GetLock() when using the grab loop thread.
Postcondition
  • The grabbing is started.
  • Grab-specific parameters of the camera object are locked, e.g. MaxNumBuffers.
  • If grabLoopType equals GrabLoop_ProvidedByInstantCamera, an additional grab loop thread is running that calls RetrieveResult( GrabLoopThreadTimeout, grabResult) in a loop. Images are processed by registered image event handlers.
  • Operating the stream grabber from outside the camera object will result in undefined behavior.
Error Safety:
The Instant Camera object is still valid after error. Open() may throw. Configuration event calls may throw. The grab implementation may throw. The grabbing is stopped with StopGrabbing() if the OnGrabStarted event call triggers an exception. Throws a C++ exception, if Upcoming Image grab strategy is used together with USB camera devices.
Thread Safety:
This method is synchronized using the lock provided by GetLock().
virtual void Pylon::CInstantCamera::StartGrabbing ( size_t  maxImages,
EGrabStrategy  strategy = GrabStrategy_OneByOne,
EGrabLoop  grabLoopType = GrabLoop_ProvidedByUser 
)
virtual

Starts the grabbing for a maximum number of images.

Extends the StartGrabbing(EStrategy, EGrabLoop) by a number of images to grab. If the passed count of images has been reached, StopGrabbing is called automatically. The images are counted according to the grab strategy. Skipped images are not taken into account.

The amount of allocated buffers is reduced to maxImages when grabbing fewer images than according to the value of the MaxNumBuffer parameter and the grab strategy is GrabStrategy_OneByOne.

Parameters
[in]maxImagesThe count of images to grab. This value must be larger than zero.
[in]strategyThe grab strategy. See Pylon::InstantCamera::EStrategy for more information.
[in]grabLoopTypeIf grabLoopType equals GrabLoop_ProvidedByInstantCamera, an additional grab loop thread is used to run the grab loop.
Thread Safety:
This method is synchronized using the lock provided by GetLock().
virtual void Pylon::CInstantCamera::StopGrabbing ( )
virtual

Stops the grabbing of images.

  • Nothing is done if the Instant Camera is not currently grabbing.
  • The configuration event OnGrabStop is fired. Possible C++ exceptions from event calls are caught and ignored. All event handlers are notified.
  • The grabbing is stopped.
  • All buffer queues of the Instant Camera are cleared.
  • The OnGrabStopped configuration event is fired if the grab has been stopped successfully. Possible C++ exceptions from event calls are caught and ignored. All event handlers are notified.
  • If the Instant Camera has been opened by StartGrabbing, it is closed by calling Close().
  • Grab-specific parameters of the camera object are unlocked, e.g. MaxNumBuffers.
Postcondition
  • The grabbing is stopped.
  • If the Pylon device has been opened by StartGrabbing and no other camera object service requires it to be open, it is closed.
  • Grab specific parameters of the camera object are unlocked, e.g. MaxNumBuffers.
Error Safety:
Does not throw C++ exceptions. Possible C++ exceptions are caught and ignored.
Thread Safety:
This method is synchronized using the lock provided by GetLock().
virtual bool Pylon::CInstantCamera::WaitForFrameTriggerReady ( unsigned int  timeoutMs,
ETimeoutHandling  timeoutHandling = TimeoutHandling_ThrowException 
)
virtual

Actively waits until the the camera is ready to accept a frame trigger.

The implementation selects 'FrameTriggerWait' for the 'AcquisitionStatusSelector' and waits until the 'AcquisitionStatus' is true. If the above mentioned nodes are not available and the 'SoftwareTrigger' node is readable, the implementation waits for SoftwareTrigger.IsDone().

The WaitForFrameTriggerReady method does not work for A600 Firewire cameras.

Parameters
[in]timeoutMsThe timeout in ms for active waiting.
[in]timeoutHandlingIf timeoutHandling equals TimeoutHandling_ThrowException, a timeout exception is thrown on timeout.
Returns
True if the camera can execute a frame trigger.
Precondition
The 'AcquisitionStatusSelector' node is writable and the 'AcquisitionStatus' node is readable or the 'SoftwareTrigger' node is readable. This depends on the used camera model.
Error Safety:
Accessing the camera registers may fail.
Thread Safety:
This method is synchronized using the lock provided by GetLock().
