IDS peak 2.8.0 / uEye+ firmware 3.33

This chapter contains the descriptions of all supported features from the Chunk Data Control category.

These features define and control chunks, which are selected data blocks that are treated as a transport unit.

With chunks you can attach additional information to the image data. These information, e.g. ExposureTime or Gain, are included in the payload of the image.

Enable chunk mode

To be able to transfer additional image information, you must activate the Chunk Mode by setting ChunkModeActive to "True".

Select chunks

Use the ChunkSelector to choose the additional image information you need:

•OffsetX

•OffsetY

•Width

•Height

•PixelFormat

•ExposureTime

•Gain

•SequencerSetActive

•Timestamp

•LineStatusAll

•CounterValue

•ExposureTriggerTimestamp

•PtpStatus

•BrightnessAutoStatus

•BalanceWhiteAutoStatus

Attach chunks

If you have activated the Chunk Mode (ChunkModeActive = "True"), all data blocks whose ChunkEnable = "True" are transmitted as additional image information together with the image.
