Run Cam with Windows-GEV-Client #2

Open heinrichu opened 8 years ago

heinrichu commented 8 years ago

Hello,

I was able to start the GEV-Cam and it seems to work on a Linux-machine

But when I want to connect with an GEV-Client (e.g. from Pleora or MatrixVision) on windows 7, the Clients are not able to connect. The cam is visible an the general attributes can be retrieved.

I figured out that the copied GeniCam-XML-File (camera.xml), which is used by the client, contains corrupted characters. Wireshark indicates that the XML-file is transfered correctly. At least the content of the XML can be read.

Attached you find a view on the editor (NP++) in Windows 7. There are no corrupted characters if the orginal file from github is opened.

Are there any known issues about this topic?

Greetings

Hey,

thank you for this report. Actualy I don't have a Windows Machine for testing, this issue. Maybe there is a encoding problem while reading the xml file this.xml = fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname,'..','data','camera.xml'));. Can you pipe the readed content from line 43, into a new file and check the result?

Hello,

thank you for your fast response. I've tested it by dumping the context in to a file.

I'm not familiar with javascript, but i think i was able to dumping the content to a file by adding the line fs.writeFileSync('xmldump.txt', this.xml);

The file looks as normal as the original one.

Now i was also able to run it on a Windows 7 machine; transmitting and recieving on the same PC and the got the same result. I've also added the 'utf8'-options to the reading-function which makes no different. Unfortunately I was not able to find different encoding options...at least the API-reference could not be used to find optional parameters.

I use your project to understand how a gev-device must be configured basically for operations with standard client software.

Greetings

Heinrich
