What does RW mean in the FLIR Spinnaker software?

Question

In the FLIR documentation of PySpin/Spinnaker there is no reference to PySpin.RW. What does it mean?

It is used as follows:

if cam.TriggerMode.GetAccessMode() != PySpin.RW:

Obviously its there for test/comparision reason.

Answer 1

From the FLIR website I can find the following here:

Read-only nodes

For some features, the node is read-only and cannot be unlocked under any circumstances. The node is provided for information purposes.

To determine if a node is read-only:

In SpinView, double-click on the feature to open the Node Information window. Look for the AccessMode row.

Access Description

1. RO Read-only
2. RW Read / Write
3. N/A Not Available

Using Spinnaker API, you can poll the Access Mode with the following:

//! Checks if a node is readable
inline bool IsReadable (const IBase* p)
{
   return (p != NULL) && IsReadable (p->GetAccessMode());
}
