SiliconSoftware compatibility broken with MicroEnable V

[matpelb]

Some attribute names have changed in the SDK from MicroEnable IV to MicroEnable V, which leads to crashes when instantiating a Camera object relying on MicroEnable V:

• CAMERA_LINK_CAMTYP is named CAMERA_LINK_CAMTYPE in MicroEnable V SDK
• FG_GLOBAL_ACCESS is not defined for MicroEnable V applets, only in MicroEnable IV

By surrounding the few calls to these attributes with try/catch block (using CAMERA_LINK_CAMTYPE when CAMERA_LINK_CAMTYP fails) I have managed to make my application work with MicroEnable V framegrabber as it did with MicroEnable IV

Thanks for letting me know! It will be fixed in the next release.

Great! My own solution is quite plain and not very smart nor elegant so I doubt there is any value in me providing more details about it, but feel free to ask of course

Hi, I recently had a problem using this software, and my frame grabber is also MicroEnable V. After opening the detect program, it shows that the camera is skipped and the camera is not opened by other software, my camera model is PhotonFocus MV-D1024E. the solution you mentioned I also tried to use, but No problem solved. I look forward to your answer, your answer will be of great help to me, thank you. @matpelb

The following is the message printed by the detect program

Searching for PhotonFocus cameras (might take several minutes)

Hi @Jasondio
If the camera is not detected/opened by both the PFremote interface and MicroDisplay the problem is most probably not related to pylablib.
Is that what you mean by "the camera is not opened by other software" ?
