struct TCaptureOptions_FlyCapture2

Options used when creating a camera capture object of type CImageGrabber_FlyCapture2

Camera to open

unsigned int camera_index = {0}

(Default=0) If open_by_guid==false, will open the i’th camera based on this 0-based index.

bool open_by_guid = {false}

(Default=false) Set to true to force opening a camera by its GUID, in camera_guid

unsigned int camera_guid[4]

GUID of the camera to open, only when open_by_guid==true.

Camera settings

std::string videomode

(Default=””, which means default) A string with a video mode, from the list available in FlyCapture2::VideoMode, eg. “VIDEOMODE_640x480Y8”, etc.

std::string framerate

(Default=””, which means default) A string with a framerate, from the list available in FlyCapture2::FrameRate, eg. “FRAMERATE_30”, etc.
