GenTL

GenTL defines 5 types of objects, organized in a parent/child relationship:

the system module

the interface module

the device module

the data stream module

the buffer module

Each module:

●

corresponds to a particular element of the system;

●

defines relevant pieces of information (info commands) that can be queried (using get info functions);

●

allows exercising that module's functionality (using specific functions).

Additionally, all modules except the buffer module behave as ports that allow read/write operations. These port functions are used by GenApi to load that module's description file, and to use its GenApi features.
