4.3.34 is_GetCameraInfo
Syntax
INT is_GetCameraInfo (HIDS hCam, CAMINFO* pInfo)
Description
is_GetCameraInfo() reads out the data hard-coded in the EEPROM and writes it to the data structure that
pInfo points to.
Note
The serial number or model name should not be used to find a specific camera (e.g. in order to control this specific
camera). If you use the serial number, the software may not find the serial number after exchanging the camera.
The model name can be changed when updating the camera driver.
Instead, we recommend identifying a camera by a fixed camera ID, the camera type or by the sensor ID (see
is_GetCameraList() ). The advantage of the camera ID is that you can set it manually. That means if you
exchange a camera, you can set the same camera ID for the new camera.
Attention
For technical reasons, the following values for CAMINFO::Type are internally redirected to the same value:
IS_CAMERA_TYPE_UC480_USB_SE and IS_CAMERA_TYPE_UC480_USB_RE
You can use the parameter strSensorName of the is_GetSensorInfo() function to discern the camera
models DCU223x, DCU224x and DCC1240x.
