hint_info

The availability of ChunkTimestamp depends on the sensor. For some cameras, the timestamp can only be returned when the "ExposureStart" trigger is enabled. Otherwise it returns 0.

Code example

C++

// Determine the current ChunkTimestamp
int64_t value = nodeMapRemoteDevice->FindNode<peak::core::nodes::IntegerNode>("ChunkTimestamp")->Value();

C#

// Determine the current ChunkTimestamp
long value = nodeMapRemoteDevice.FindNode<IDSImaging.Peak.API.Core.Nodes.IntegerNode>("ChunkTimestamp").Value();

Python

# Determine the current ChunkTimestamp (int)
value = nodeMapRemoteDevice.FindNode("ChunkTimestamp").Value()
