GigE cameras - allow IP configuration and GigE-specific parameters configuration

Open RomainV92 opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Added a launch file camera_gige.launch, to allow IP address and subnet configuration for GigE cameras. Also, a few parameters specific to GigE cameras can be tuned :

  • device link maximum throughput
  • Gev SCPS packet size

The new launch file provides default values for these parameters, if you intend to use them, the parameter enable_gige_parameters has to be set to True, otherwise the values will be ignored.

This was tested with a GigE BlackFly S camera only.

Finally, when using several GigE cameras, the IP configuration somehow fails sometimes, and applies to the wrong camera. I couldn't find a way to fix this issue. So, the code as it is should be used to configure the IP while a single camera is connected, and use default parameters to avoid modifying the IP configuration when several cameras are connected.
