4.1.5 Other Features
Other features are provided for the GigE Vision cameras on the device list, including GVCP
Settings, GVSP Settings, GenICam XML settings, device user ID settings, etc.
GVCP Settings
GVCP is short for GigE Vision Control Protocol, which is a communication protocol for the
communication between the Software and a GigE Vision camera. GVCP allows the
Software to configure and control a GigE Vision camera. The Software sends a command
and waits for an acknowledgment (ACK) from the camera before sending its next
command, hence data integrity is ensured. In this ACK scheme, the Software can get and
set various features of the camera.
When the network condition is not good, data losses may occur in this ACK scheme. In this
case, you can configure the GVCP settings to allow the Software to resend the command
for multiple times within a certain time period, hence data losses can be alleviated.
Note
● GVCP settings is only available when the camera is connected or in acquisition.
● Cameras connected via frame grabbers does not support this function.
Right-click a GigE Vision camera and then click GVCP Settings to open the GVCP Setting
window and then configure the two parameters below.
Resending Times
Specify the times for resending the command.
The default value is 3, and the value range is from 0 to 100.
Timeout
Specify the time period (ms) for resending the command. In other words, if the time for
resending the command reaches the specified time period, command resending will
end.
The default value is 500, and the value range is from 0 to 10,000.
