Camera Discovery
The Argos3D - P33x supports a discovery protocol via UDP/IP. It allows the discovery of the camera within the
Ethernet network and the retrieval of camera properties.
The discovery service listens on UDP address 255.255.255.255 (broadcast) and port 11003.
Note
Discovery is supported by the BltTofApi and the BltTofSuite

Manual frame triggers
The default mode of the camera is video mode, where it streams continuously with configured frame rate. To use
manual frame triggering, the video mode must be disabled in register
Mode0
.
A frame can be triggered by either
•
Hardware trigger
•
Software trigger: See register
Mode0
.
Both will trigger the capturing of as many sequences on the ToF sensor, as is configured in register
NofSequ
, as
well as a transition to low on the trigger output.
If color data is transferred via the data interface, the color sensor operates at either 15 or 30 frames per second in
the background (depending on register settings in
ColorStreamParams
). A color image is assigned to each
captured ToF image by means of both internal capture timestamps. If no color image is available (if the ToF sensor
frame rate is higher than the color sensor frame rate), an empty color image is transferred.
