Need help for Synchronous Acquisition and Frame Transmission Delay

[MaguetteSow]

Hello, I want to know if the camera is in acquisition or not. But, in camera.py, there is only the is_streaming() function which returns False because I am not using asynchronous acquisition.

This is how I acquire frames:

            with Vimba.get_instance() as vimba :
                with vimba.get_camera_by_id(self.IpAddress) as cam:
                    while self.runningGrab:
                        try:
                            if self.attr_Mono8_read: 
                                frame8 = cam.get_frame()
                                print("Conv pixel 8:", frame8.convert_pixel_format(PixelFormat.Mono8))
                                # "replaces the original vimba.Frame object with a numpy.ndarray"
                                self.buff8 = frame8.as_numpy_ndarray()
                        except Exception as e:
                            print('-------> Grabbing error from the camera error  :', e) 

Is there a way to know if the camera is grabbing regardless of the type of acquisition ?

I am also looking for the equivalent features to Inter Packet delay and Frame Transmission Delay (from Basler). Maybe, wait_for_frames() ? PS: I use Prosilica GT1290. Thanks.

Thank you fro the question. For this we have a feature called AcquisitionStatus. This feature returns Boolean value.

Thank you very much. I have tried to use cam.AcquisitionStatus.get() but it does not work and I got this error 'Camera' object has no attribute 'AcquisitionStatus' .

And what is the equivalent of Inter Packet Delay & Frame Transmission Delay? PS: I use Prosilica GT1290.

Hi, that's true, Prosilica GT1290 doesn't support the AcquisitionStatus feature.

And instead of Inter Packet Delay & Frame Transmission Delay we suggest to control the bandwidth with the StreamBytesPerSecond feature value.

Thanks, Norman

Thanks very much.
