GenICam GenICam stands for GEN eric programming I nterface for CAM eras.
It's a generic way to access and modify device parameters with a
unified interface. A GenICam compliant device either directly provides
a GenICam compliant description file (in internal memory) or the
description file can be obtained from a local (harddisc etc.) or web
location. A GenICam description file is something like a machine
readable device manual. It provides a user readable name and value
range for parameters that are offered by the device for reading and/or
writing and instructions on what command must be send to a device when
the user modifies or reads a certain parameter from the device. These
description files are written in XML. An excerpt from such a file can
be seen in the figure below:
