The Laser LED mirrors the behavior of the laser signal. If two lasers are connected, the Laser LED mirrors
both laser illuminations using OR logic.
4.4 Interface and communication standards
Ranger3 complies with the GenICam™ and the GigE Vision® standards. For detail on
supported versions see the Device Control feature.
4.4.1 GenICam™
GenICam™ is a standard that provides a generic programming interface for different
kinds of cameras and devices. The standard is owned by EMVA (European Machine
Vision Association) and consists of multiple modules. Ranger3 complies with the follow‐
ing modules:
GenAPI Application programming interface (API) for configuring the cam‐
era.
Standard Features Naming
Convention (SFNC)
Standardized names and types for common device features.
GenTL Common transport layer interface features.
GenTL SFNC Standardized names and types for features.
For further information, see www.emva.org/standards-technology/genicam/.
4.4.2 GigE Vision®
GigE Vision® is a camera interface standard that is based on the Gigabit Ethernet
communication protocol. The GigE Vision® standard is owned by A3 (Association for
Advancing Automation). GigE Vision® cameras must support GenICam™.
For further information, see https://www.automate.org/a3-content/vision-standards.
4.4.3 GenIStream API
The GenIStream API is SICKs camera control and frame grabbing API. It is tailor-made for
the Ranger3 and Ruler3000 camera families.
It includes functions for camera discovery and connection, parameter handling, grab‐
bing/loading/saving images, etc., and is provided for C++ and C#.
GenIStream is included in the 3D Stream SDK, which also contains example programs
written with GenIStream, documentation of GenIStream, parameter configuration files,
and camera firmware. For information about installation, see "Software installation",
page 31.
