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)

Syntax

Constructor:

WriteMemory(
    OTCID oidITcVnGevImageProvider
)

Execute main:

FB_Main()

FB_Main(
    GVCP_REGISTER_ADDRESS nAddress,
    USHORT                nLength,
    PVOID                 pData,
    bool                  bWrite
)

FB_Main(
    bool bWrite
)

WriteMemory 1: 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

USHORT

 

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

unsigned int

VISION_ADS_TIMEOUT

Indicates the time before the function is cancelled.

WriteMemory 2: 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

ULONG

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

USHORT

The number of bytes that have been successfully written to the camera.
