How to identify a GigE camera by IP address

[BlueCheese]

*Edit to the above post*

I mistyped and it is IMAQdx 4.1 that will contain the "open by IP address" session syntax.

Hi Eric,

I have IMAQdx 4.2 installed, and can't see how to do this. Did this feature make it in?

Thanks,

Chris

Yes, just pass the "ip:<camera_ip_address>" syntax described earlier in this thread to the session name.

Hey guys,

about this Topic, because i have the same Situation - i wanted to make the camera session Independent from any MAX identifier.

Just wanted to add the following, because i was stumbling at a specific Point (once again):

Example-String: IP or MAC-Address

ip:192.168.0.1

uuid:001122334455

Very important, maybe applicable in general:

When you open a camera Connection independently from MAX you need to set the

AcquisitionAttributes::PacketSize

to the maximum value your Network Environment is providing, or any desired within this Limits, unless your Environment is supporting Jumbo Frames.

If you dont do this, you will be able to connect, but your code will freeze when you try to snap or configure grab.

Just wanted to Point this out, because i always fall for this 😉

cheers
