Description

This function allows you to inquire about various digitizer settings.

Note that you can use MdigControl() to control specific digitizer settings.

You can also interactively inquire most of the digitizer settings in real-time, using Matrox Intellicam's Feature Browser.

[Matrox IEEE 1394 IIDC driver]

The inquire types described in this function can inquire either the connected camera or the interface board (digitizer). When the inquire type is only available on the board, it is handled automatically by your board. In situations where the inquire type is available on both the camera and the board, you can use the M_CAMERA or the M_BOARD combination constant to specify which to inquire. When the inquire type is available on both the camera and the board and you don't specify which to inquire, it is handled automatically by your camera. If your camera does not support the standard feature, an error is generated. In this case, to use the inquire type with the board, you must use the M_BOARD combination constant.

In addition, the inquire types described in this function assume your interface board and standard-compliant camera support the associated IEEE IIDC 1394 standard-compliant feature.

[Matrox GigE Vision driver; Matrox GigE Vision driver (requires Update 25); Matrox USB3 Vision driver (requires Update 19)]

Typically, the supported inquire types affect the camera (or device) associated with the digitizer. This means that the control types described in this function assume your camera supports the associated GenICam standard feature naming convention (SFNC) feature. If the device does not support the GenICam SFNC feature, an error is generated. In case of error, use MdigInquireFeature().

Note that there are several inquire types that are available on a Host system, even without any additional Matrox imaging boards; these are to inquire a simulated digitizer (allocated using MdigAlloc() with M_EMULATED). To see the inquire types available to inquire a simulated digitizer, select the Host system as your board type in this help file. For more information on simulated digitizers, refer to the Simulated digitizer section of Chapter 25: Grabbing with your digitizer.

Note that this function reference has not been updated for a MIL system added during a MIL update. Refer to the MIL system's release note to see which MIL system’s documentation you should use in its place and any possible differences.
Parameters
This function is not supported on the selected boards.
This function reference has not been updated for the selected MIL system. To show the content of this page, choose a second MIL system; refer to the MIL system's release note to see which MIL system’s documentation to choose and any possible differences.
Parameters
DigId

Specifies the identifier of the digitizer.

InquireType

Specifies the digitizer setting to inquire.

See the Parameter associations section for possible values that can be specified.

UserVarPtr
Accepts the address of one of the following (see the Parameter associations section for specifics on which is expected):
  • array of type MIL_TEXT_CHAR
  • MIL_DOUBLE
  • MIL_ID
  • MIL_INT
  • MIL_INT64
  • MIL_TEXT_PTR

Specifies the address in which to write the requested information. Since the MdigInquire() function also returns the requested information, you can set this parameter to M_NULL.

See the Parameter associations section for possible values that can be returned.

Parameter associations

The tables below list possible values for the InquireType parameter and possible values returned to the UserVarPtr parameter.

Once the format, routing, and mode are determined for an I/O signal, you can further inquire the I/O signal using the inquire types described in the following tables: For inquiring the state of specified user-bits in a static-user-output register, For inquiring the settings of a timer, For inquiring the camera's exposure, and For inquiring the settings to grab using a trigger.

Note that for all MIL supported hardware that have I/O signals, but are not supported with the constants below, see MsysInquire().

These settings are part of the GigE Vision Control Protocol (GVCP), described in the GigE Vision Specification version 2.0. The GVCP details GigE Vision specific settings to send and receive information across your network, as well as store information on your GigE Vision camera. Each inquire type specifies a family of capabilities within your GigE Vision device, where your camera is capable of using one or more features (although, each of these features is not necessarily enabled or configured). Note that, for these inquire types to be available, your GigE Vision camera must support one or more GigE Vision Control Protocol (GVCP) commands. Each of these inquire types returns a bitwise string, whose potential values are presented as inquire values. The inquire values are listed alphabetically;M the bitwise order might differ.
