7.23.5 Retrieving Data Chunks
When Chunk Enable and Chunk Mode Active are enabled, the selected data chunks are appended
to each acquired image when the image is transferred to the host computer (see Section 7.23.3 on
page 339), creating a set of chunks. The set of chunks must be parsed to retrieve the chunk data
via a GenICam node map (see below).
The set of chunks includes chunk 1 with the image data ("image data payload") and related
supplementary data (chunk ID and length of the image data payload), followed by the selected data
chunks, each one consisting of the chunk payload and supplementary data.
The PayloadSize parameter value for the device (i.e. for the camera) indicates the calculated
maximum size ("maximum buffer size") that can be expected to occur for a set of chunks. The
calculated maximum size is derived from the current camera parameter settings (ROI size, pixel
format, selected data chunks, etc.).
The actual size of a set of chunks as received by the computer ("grab result") can be read form the
PayloadSize value for the grab result. The actual size will be equal to or smaller than the
calculated maximum size.
A set of chunks (chunks one through N) is illustrated in Figure 117. The example assumes that the
CRC Checksum chunk was enabled.

Make sure all camera parameters are set as desired before reading the
PayloadSize parameter value.
