FB_VN_WriteMemory

This FB writes data to consecutive memory locations on the camera. Requires an open control channel (e.g. by calling FB_VN_GevCameraControl.OpenCamera() before)

Inputs

Name	Type	Default	Description
nAddress	GVCP_REGISTER_ADDRESS		The address of the first byte to write to the camera (must be 32-bit aligned)
nLength	UINT		The number of bytes to write, starting at nAddress (must be a multiple of 4, not more than 536)
pData	PVOID		Pointer to the data that should be written to the camera (must have a size of at least nLength bytes!)
bWrite	BOOL		Writing the memory is triggered by a rising edge at this input.
nTimeout	TIME	VISION_ADS_TIMEOUT	Indicates the time before the function is cancelled.

Outputs

Name	Type	Description
bBusy	BOOL	This output remains TRUE until the function block has executed a command, but at the longest for the duration supplied to the 'nTimeout' input. While bBusy = TRUE, no new command will be accepted at the inputs.
bError	BOOL	This output is switched to TRUE as soon as an error occurs during the execution of a command. The command-specific error code is contained in ‘nErrorId’. If the function block has a timeout error, 'bError' is TRUE and 'nErrorId' is 1861 (hexadecimal 0x745). Is reset to FALSE by the execution of a command at the inputs.
nErrorId	UDINT	Contains the ADS error code or the command-specific error code of the last executed command. Is reset to 0 by the execution of a command at the inputs.
nBytesWritten	UINT	The number of bytes that have been successfully written to the camera.

Weiterführende Informationen

	Offener Kamera-Control-Channel nötig! Um diesen Funktionsblock benutzen zu können, muss der Control Channel der GigE Vision Kamera offen sein. Zudem können einige Kamera-Parameter nur geändert werden, wenn die Bild-Akquisition gestoppt ist. Daher wird empfohlen, die Kamera zuvor in den State TCVN_CS_OPENED zu bringen.

Parameter

nAddress

Die Register-Adresse identifiziert das zu adressierende Register der Kamera. Sie ist vom Typ GVCP_REGISTER_ADDRESS, welcher ein Alias auf den Typ UDINT ist. Damit haben alle Register-Adressen eine Größe von 4 Bytes. Die Register-Adresse eines Kamera-Parameters können Sie an entsprechender Stelle im Konfigurationsbaum der GigE Vision Kamera Instanz nachsehen:
