Gentl Camera Sequencer support

I'm trying to configure the sequencer of a GenICam compatible camera but there doesn’t appear to be full MATLAB support for it.

Is there a way to call the SequencerSetLoad command as defined in the GenICam documentation: GenICam Standard Features Naming Convention (emva.org).

with thanks

Rob

Hi Rob,

I understand that you are trying to configure the sequencer of a GenlCam compatible camera. As per my knowledge, MATLAB provides a support package titled Image Aquisition Toolbox Support Package for GenlCam Interface which enables you to acquire images and video from GenICam compliant cameras directly into MATLAB and Simulink. You can download it from the link below or you can use the Add-Ons explorer on MATLAB Desktop to install it.

Once you have established the setup, attempt executing the SequencerSetLoad command to see if it is working.

In case you are facing difficulties in using the Image Acquisition Toolbox with a GenICam GenTL camera driver using the toolbox's gentl adaptor, follow the procedure mentioned in the link below

I hope this helps.

Support was added for GenICam commands in R2023b

From the release notes ( https://www.mathworks.com/help/imaq/release-notes.html )

"You can now access GenICam™ device commands using the gentl and gige adaptors with the videoinput object.

After creating your gentl or gige videoinput object, use the commands function with the videoinput source object to display a list of available commands. Then, use executeCommand to execute the specified command.

In the Image Acquisition Explorer app, GenICam commands and properties are listed alongside other device-specific properties in the Device Properties panel, including a button to execute commands."
