GenTL module that handles buffers
-
Represents the camera component in the frame grabber driver and corresponds to the GenTL Device module. This module exposes the camera parameters defined in the driver, as opposed to the parameters of the camera actually connected to the frame grabber (remote device). In the context of Coaxlink frame grabbers, the term "Coaxlink device" could be used as a synonym.
-
GenTL module that contains the frame grabber settings relating to the camera. Parent of the data stream module.Sibling of the remote device.
-
Object that encapsulates a GenTL stream (with a number of buffers), its parent modules (GenTL system, interface, device), as well as the GenTL remote device. You can configure an eGrabber using a GenApi XMLfile. eGrabber Studio creates and presents instances of eGrabbers, called "grabbers" using the Euresys::EGrabber class of the eGrabber library.

-
Group of eGrabbers, that correspond to all banks of a multi-bank camera. In this group of eGrabbers, one eGrabber is master and holds the reference GenApi configuration, and the others are slave.
-
Optional library of eGrabber that provides video recording services to hard drives
-
List of the discovered eGrabbers of the selected source in the Welcome screen of eGrabber Studio. The GenTL components of each discovered eGrabber are presented in a tree view: interface (frame grabber), device (camera) and stream.

-
Part of eGrabber card that controls digital I/O lines and implements tools such as rate converters, delay lines, etc. Hosted in the interface module.
-
Numerical identifier used to query a specific piece of information from a GenTL module. Info commands are defined either in the standard GenTL header file, or in a vendor-specific header file (e.g., info commands specific to eGrabber are defined in include/GenTL_v1_5_EuresysCustom.h).
-
