GigEVision_UploadFile

This filter is intended for cooperation with a GigE Vision® compliant devices. Its purpose is to upload a file into the device using the GenICam File Access Control interface. The device must be implementing the File Control Access interface as specified by the GenICam Standard Function Naming Convention (SFNC) standard for the filter to work.

Device address (inAddress port) is a textual definition of either IP, MAC or serial number. Use Device Manager (click "..." button in filter properties) to select the appropriate address of a connected device. For information on address type meaning and selecting device address see Device manager section in user manual.

The inFileName input specifies the name of the file to be overwritten. Available file names can be determined by examining the allowed values of the FileSelector parameter in the device parameters tree.

The entire file is overwritten with data from the inBuffer input. This filter will first attempt to perform a "Delete" operation on the file, then it will upload the entire data from the inBuffer input ByteBuffer, starting from the zero offset.

This filter does not maintain the connection with the device. When there are no other active GigE Vision filters connected with the same device, the connection will be closed after the filter execution is finished.
