IDS peak Cockpit: chunk data and events
Discover how chunk data and camera events in IDS peak Cockpit provide valuable insight into image acquisition and camera operation. In this video, you'll learn how to enable, visualise and use metadata and event notifications to improve monitoring, testing and troubleshooting in machine vision applications.
The video explains how chunk data travels with each image, including information such as timestamps, exposure time and gain, while camera events notify host applications about important system activities. Learn how these features support debugging, synchronisation, system health monitoring and application integration across a range of IDS cameras.
