The Transfer class provide methods for adjusting the latency of the image data transfer of GigE uEye cameras. You can adjust the interval between capturing and transferring an image for each individual camera that is connected. This may be useful to divide available bandwidth amongst cameras running simultaneously on slow networks (e.g. transfer in a wireless or 100 Mbit network). Currently, you can adjust the following parameters:
•Image delay
This value determines the internal camera delay of the image transfer. When the sensor begins outputting data, the camera waits for the specified duration before starting to transfer the image data. In this way you can coordinate the data transfer for several simultaneously triggered cameras.
•Packet interval
GigE uEye cameras transfer image data in several data packets of the same size. The packet interval determines the interval between the transfer of two successive packets, improving the data transfer of one or several cameras on slow networks.

The usual value for the "Packet interval" in Gigabit Ethernet networks is around 20 µs. Higher values can reduce the transfer speed of the GigE uEye camera considerably. |
