Table 48: GigEVision control custom command
Command Description Visibility Access
GevNetworkInterfaceReconfigure Reconfigures the network interface according to the
settings made. If the settings have changed the con‐
nection will be lost to the device and it may get a new IP
address.

16.2.15 Laser control
Table 49: Laser control custom parameters
Parameter Type Description Visibility Access
LaserOnDelayTime float The estimated internal activation delay of the laser
module. This delay is propagated as the minimum of
the Trigger Delay for ExposureStart. It is added to the
duration of the generated exposure-following pulse.
Guru RW
LaserPower int Set the laser power within the device laser power limits. Expert RW
16.2.16 Firmware update
Table 50: Firmware update custom parameters
Parameter Type Description Visibility Access
FirmwareUpdateProgress enum The current state of the firmware update process. Guru R
FirmwareUpdateScriptProgress float Estimated progress of update script. 0.00 means not
started, 1.00 means finished.
Guru R
FirmwareUpdateScriptRemaining‐
Time
int Estimated time left of the firmware update script. Guru R
16.3 Recommended network card settings
Due to the large amount of data that Ranger3 delivers per second, it is required to
connect the camera(s) to the PC using a separate Gigabit Ethernet network, without
other interfering traffic.
The Network interface card (NIC) must support Gigabit Ethernet, and it is recommended
that the NIC supports Ethernet Jumbo frames. Ethernet Jumbo frames are frames with
more than 1500 bytes of Ethernet payload. Sending and receiving Ethernet Jumbo
Frames can give a performance increase due to lower PC CPU usage.
The Ranger3 camera has mainly been tested using network interface cards from Intel.
See the tables below for recommended network settings. Note that the names of the
settings may differ depending on NIC or driver version.
Receive buffers
Recommended setting 512 or more
Default setting 256
Maximum setting 2048
Jumbo frames
Recommended setting >4200
Default setting disabled
Maximum setting 16128
When using Jumbo frames the camera can support up to 4096 bytes of image data in
each data package, which corresponds to 4200 bytes per Ethernet frame.
