Syntax
INT is_GetCameraInfo (HIDS hCam, CAMINFO* pInfo)
Description
is_GetCameraInfo() reads out the data hard-coded in the non-volatile camera memory and writes it to the data structure that pInfo points to.
 |
The serial number or model name should not be used to find a specific camera (e.g. in order to control this specific camera). If you use the serial number, the software may not find the serial number after exchanging the camera. The model name can be changed when updating the camera driver. Instead, we recommend identifying a camera by a fixed camera ID, the camera type or by the sensor ID (see is_GetCameraList()). The advantage of the camera ID is that you can set it manually. That means if you exchange a camera, you can set the same camera ID for the new camera. |
