◆ Discover() [1/9]

static std::vector< DiscoveryInformation > Discover ( )

inlinestatic

Discovers available devices (not vins) with a default time span of 300ms.

Returns: The list of found devices/nodes.

Exceptions

Any	exception derived from std::exception including CvbException.

This method behaves like the CVB Management Console when discovering devices: It lists all GenICam devices (like GigE Vision and USB3 Vision) and filters out the STEMMER IMAGING Socket Driver devices for GigE Vision (only shows Filter Driver devices).

This method does not throw if the wait time is exceeded: it just waits for the time span. If a device answers after this span it is not in the returned list.

Examples: Cvb/CppPointCloudAcquisition, and Cvb/QtStatisticsDisplay.

◆ Discover() [2/9]

Returns: The list of found devices/nodes.

Exceptions

Any	exception derived from std::exception including CvbException.

This method does not throw if the wait time is exceeded: it just waits for the time span. If a device answers after this span it is not in the returned list.

◆ Open() [1/4]

static std::shared_ptr< T > Open	(	const String &	provider,
		AcquisitionStack	acquisitionStack = `AcquisitionStack::PreferVin`
	)

inlinestatic

Opens a device with the given provider with its default board and port (if applicable).

Parameters

[in]	provider	The provider sting, which may be a path to vin-driver.
[in]	acquisitionStack	Optional flag to select which acquisition stack should be use for the device. If omitted the latest available stack is used.

Returns: A pointer to a device object (casted to the provided device type).

Exceptions

Any	exception derived from std::exception including CvbException.

The opened board/port need not necessary be 0 as this depends on the driver configuration!

Attention: The default value of AcquisitionStack::PreferVin will change in a future release to AcquisitionStack::PreferGenTL.

Parameters

[in]	provider	The provider sting, which may be a path to vin-driver.
[in]	acquisitionStack	Optional flag to select which acquisition stack should be use for the device. If omitted the latest available stack is used.

Returns: A pointer to a device object for given provider.

Exceptions

Any	exception derived from std::exception including CvbException.

The opened board/port need not necessary be 0 as this depends on the driver configuration!

Attention: The default value of AcquisitionStack::PreferVin will change in a future release to AcquisitionStack::PreferGenTL.

Example:: // CVB_LIT is only useful if your code must compile with wide strings and

// Unicode (usually on Windows and Linux), So it only makes sense

// together with a compatible path notation (lower-case and forward slash)!

auto device = Cvb::Device::Open(Cvb::ExpandPath(CVB_LIT("%CVB%/drivers/GenICam.vin")));

◆ Open() [3/4]
