Device Module Elements

The GenTL hierarchy exposes one GenTL Device Module for each for each imaging device.

It gathers the elements that are common to- (or can be shared by-) all the GENTL Data Stream Modules related to that imaging device.

The elements belonging to the imaging device (camera) itself are referred as "Remote Device". By opposition, the elements belonging to the frame grabber are also referred as "Local Device".

The device module contains the following elements:

  • Camera and Illumination Controller: This block is used to control the camera cycle and the illumination strobe. It can be configured to receive real-time (Camera) Cycle trigger events from any I/O Toolbox output stream. It produces two real-time signals: the Camera Trigger signal, sent to the camera trigger input, and the Strobe signal, sent to the illumination device associated with the camera.
Note: The number of Device modules per Coaxlink card is determined by the installed firmware variant.
