GenICam
GenICam provides a generic access for cameras and devices that is independent of
the interface. This enables operating cameras with USB3 Vision, GigE Vision, or
CoaXPress interfaces with a common software.
GenICam consists of multiple modules for different tasks. Allied Vision cameras and
software use these modules, like the SFNC that standardizes feature names and
types via an XML file or the transport layer interface (GenTL) used to grab images.
