4.4 GenTL Management
The GenTL (short for Generic Transport Layer) standard provides a generic way to allow
the Software to enumerate cameras, communicate with cameras, and if possible, stream
data from cameras independent from the underlying transport technology, and configuring
features of connected frame grabbers. This allows the Software to control cameras
(including third-party cameras) and to acquire data in a transport layer agnostic way.
Steps
1. Right-click GenTL on the device list and then click Select cti File.
2. Select a cti file from the local PC and load it.
