Grab timed out. The acquisition is not started.

[rdrandom]

Hello everyone, first of all, sorry for my English. I have a problem when I run this script that I have trouble understanding because I start: (I specify that I am working on a Pylon container and that a nas synology)

from pypylon import pylon
import platform

num_img_to_save = 5
img = pylon.PylonImage()

ip_address = '.....'
factory = pylon.TlFactory.GetInstance()
ptl = factory.CreateTl('BaslerGigE')
empty_camera_info = ptl.CreateDeviceInfo()
empty_camera_info.SetPropertyValue('IpAddress', ip_address)
camera_device = factory.CreateDevice(empty_camera_info)
cam = pylon.InstantCamera(camera_device)

cam.Open()
cam.AcquisitionMode.SetValue('Continuous')
cam.StartGrabbing()
for i in range(num_img_to_save):
    with cam.RetrieveResult(2000) as result:
        img.AttachGrabResultBuffer(result)

        if platform.system() == 'Windows':
            ipo = pylon.ImagePersistenceOptions()
            quality = 90 - i * 10
            ipo.SetQuality(quality)

            filename = "saved_pypylon_img_%d.jpeg" % quality
            img.Save(pylon.ImageFileFormat_Jpeg, filename, ipo)
        else:
            filename = "saved_pypylon_img_%d.png" % i
            img.Save(pylon.ImageFileFormat_Png, filename)
        img.Release()
cam.StopGrabbing()
cam.Close()

I am getting this error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "./test_sauvegarde.py", line 28, in with cam.RetrieveResult(2000) as result: File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/pypylon/pylon.py", line 3474, in RetrieveResult return _pylon.InstantCamera_RetrieveResult(self, *args) _genicam.TimeoutException: Grab timed out. The acquisition is not started. : TimeoutException thrown (file 'InstantCameraImpl.h', line 1056)

Thank you in advance for any help you can give me!

sorry for editing my post, but the issue has totally changed / evolved

you may try ip_address = '192.168.0.123' without port number

[rdrandom]

thanks but I tried and nothing has changed, still the same error ...

[SMA2016a]

is camera working fine in pylonviewer or simple grab sample code?

[rdrandom]

hey ! I use pylonviewer and i can have an image yes

[SMA2016a]

try this.

empty_camera_info = pylon.DeviceInfo()

[rdrandom]

if i use this :

ip_address = '*****'
factory = pylon.TlFactory.GetInstance()
ptl = factory.CreateTl('BaslerGigE')
empty_camera_info = pylon.DeviceInfo()
empty_camera_info.SetPropertyValue('IpAddress', ip_address)
camera_device = factory.CreateDevice(empty_camera_info)
cam = pylon.InstantCamera(camera_device)

cam.Open()

cam.StartGrabbing(pylon.GrabStrategy_OneByOne)

i have this error :

Traceback (most recent call last): File "./sauvegarde_image.py", line 24, in camera_device = factory.CreateDevice(empty_camera_info) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/pypylon/pylon.py", line 1594, in CreateDevice return _pylon.TlFactory_CreateDevice(self, *args) _genicam.RuntimeException: No device is available or no device contains the provided device info properties. : RuntimeException thrown (file 'TlFactory.cpp', line 694)

thank you very much for taking the time to help me

Good morning ! I discovered something! When I run my script on PyCharm on the computer, 0 problem and everything is done correctly if I am connected by wire and not by wifi! If it's wifi: same problem as on the container!

So I tested ... I can connect to the camera with Pylon Viewer but not take pictures or have any image stream if I am in wifi! Only the wired that works.

Is this normal? Are there ways to change this?

now you have 2 cases in one thread. This makes supporting you a bit more complicated.If you discover new issue create a new question.

1) it seems that you are not setting up the proper IP address in the info object.

ip_address = '*****' factory = pylon.TlFactory.GetInstance() ptl = factory.CreateTl('BaslerGigE') empty_camera_info = pylon.DeviceInfo() empty_camera_info.SetPropertyValue('IpAddress', ip_address) camera_device = factory.CreateDevice(empty_camera_info) cam = pylon.InstantCamera(camera_device)

cam.Open()

cam.StartGrabbing(pylon.GrabStrategy_OneByOne)

2) Most properly you waln componant does not perform well.

 Set the packet size in transport layer to 1500 and increase the inter packet delay in small steps.

excuse me if it seems to you to be two different problems because I just wanted to explain my progress and I thought that might enlighten you on the problem. (in itself I'm not trying to make it work on pylon viewer!)

1- in fact, i don't understand why there would be a problem with the ip address since, when i'm wired, it doesn't pose a problem and i can recover photos. also, i have this error if i try :

_genicam.RuntimeException: No device is available or no device contains the provided device info properties. : RuntimeException thrown (file 'TlFactory.cpp', line 694)

2- I'm trying to do it more slowly, I'll keep you posted

thank you for helping me and sorry for any questions!
