Simple question

[SwHaraday]

Hi, wie geht's ?

Do you know what is going to happen, if you do below ?

ic.IC_SetFrameRate(hGrabber, ctypes.c_int(80))

• use 'ctypes.c_int' instead of 'ctypes.c_float'

We use 4 of DFK37BUX287's on one PC.

Also please let us know where to get latest 'tisgrabber_x64.dll' and related files.

Thanks in advance.

Hello

IC_SetFrameRate is declared as int IC_SetFrameRate(HGRABBER hGrabber,float FrameRate);
The IC_SetFrameRate function is not extra declared in tisgrabber.py. Thus I wonder where this change from float to int comes from.

The latest version of the DLLs are available at https://github.com/TheImagingSource/IC-Imaging-Control-Samples/tree/master/Python/tisgrabber, which I am sure, you are aware of.
We released IC Imaging Control 4 with a much better Python support and documentation for Windows and Linux, therefore, the tisgrabber.dll is end of development.

Best regards
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

Thank you for your quick reply.

It's just from my strong assumtions.
While working on function to make different settings for each camera available, I made this stupid mistake.
However as far as my observation, it works 50% and does not work 50%.
Curious. That's why I wanted to know what is going happen.

Minimal set of what we do is here.

By the way, where to learn 'IC Imaging Control 4' ?

Hello Yuji

You can load and save presets with tisgrabber's IC_SaveDeviceStatetoFile() and IC_LoadDeviceStatefomFile functions.

IC 4:
To install the IC Imaging Control 4 Python Library into your active environment, run:

$ python3 -m pip install imagingcontrol4

If you want to use the pre-built dialogs for PySide6, you also have to install the imagingcontrol4pyside6 support library:

$ python3 -m pip install imagingcontrol4pyside6

Documentation is at https://www.theimagingsource.com/en-us/documentation/ic4python/guide-getting-started.html, samples are at https://github.com/TheImagingSource/ic4-examples/tree/master/python

It is not too different from tisgrabber, but it is better documentated, Linux compatible and uses the GenTL Producers in Windows and Linux instead of DirectShow / Aravis / v4l2. The GenTL Producers Windows are at https://www.theimagingsource.com/en-us/support/download/
