Editing white balance & color transformation parameters - Node not existing (file 'genicam_wrap.cpp', line 16138) error

Describe what you want to implement and what the issue & the steps to reproduce it are:

Hi,

I am trying to change white balance (https://docs.baslerweb.com/balance-white) and color transformation parameters (https://docs.baslerweb.com/color-transformation#how-it-works) of my Basler ace L camera using pypylon. But I am getting the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/frankbrewer/anaconda3/envs/pylon/lib/python3.12/site-packages/pypylon/pylon.py", line 4400, in __getattr__
    return self.GetNodeMap().GetNode(attribute)
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/frankbrewer/anaconda3/envs/pylon/lib/python3.12/site-packages/pypylon/genicam.py", line 1360, in GetNode
    return _genicam.INodeMap_GetNode(self, Name)
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
_genicam.LogicalErrorException: Node not existing (file 'genicam_wrap.cpp', line 16138)

Here is what I am doing: (throws error directly after trying to set red channel intensity)

from pypylon import pylon

tlf = pylon.TlFactory.GetInstance()
camera = pylon.InstantCamera(tlf.CreateFirstDevice())

camera.Open()

# enable software trigger
camera.TriggerSelector.Value = "FrameStart"
camera.TriggerSource.Value = "Software"
camera.TriggerMode.Value = "On"

# Set the red intensity
camera.BalanceRatioSelector.Value = "Red"
camera.BalanceRatio.Value = 310

# Select position Gain00 in the matrix
camera.ColorTransformationValueSelector.Value = "Gain00"
# Enter a floating point value for the selected position
camera.ColorTransformationValue.Value = 0.810

Could you help me with this?

I noticed that BalanceRatioRaw.Value should be used instead of BalanceRatio.Value, but I still do not have an idea about ColorTransformationValueSelector.Value

Hi, according to the docu, your code should work. It seems you copy the samples? Can you please tell me your camera model and the FW-Version? Also, just out of curiosity: Can you tell me why and how do you want to change the TransformationValues? Did you perform your own color calibration? Best regards!
