11.11 Category: EventControl
This chapter describes how to control the Events generation for host application. Event is a
message sent to the host application to notify the presence of an internal event.
General Information
The asynchronous message channel is described in the GigE Vision standard
®
and can option-
ally be used to signal events. Every Event is assigned a timestamp (64 bits) with the exact point
in time the event has occurred. Every Event can be separately enabled and disabled (EventSe-
lector).
Event: EventLost
Event is output if a selected Event was lost. The cause may be too many Events having oc-
curred.
Event: TriggerReady
Event signal whether the camera is able of processing incoming trigger signals or not.
