This filter is intended for cooperation with a general camera device through a GenTL compliant provider. Its purpose is to upload a file into the device using the GenICam File Access Control interface. The device must be implementing the File Control Access interface as specified by the GenICam Standard Function Naming Convention (SFNC) standard for the filter to work.

Device address (inAddress port) is a structure defining a unique device and its GenTL provider module in the system. It is recommended to use the GenTL Device Manager (click the "..." button in Filter Properties) to select the appropriate device, connected to the local system, whose identification information will be used.

The inFileName input specifies the name of the file to be overwritten. Available file names can be determined by examining the allowed values of the FileSelector parameter in the device parameters tree.

The entire file is overwritten with data from the inBuffer input. This filter will first attempt to perform a "Delete" operation on the file, then it will upload the entire data from the inBuffer input ByteBuffer, starting from the zero offset.

This filter does not maintain the connection with the device. When there are no other active GenICam filters connected with the same device, the connection will be closed after the filter execution is finished.

For general information about working with GenTL devices, please refer to the following article.

• Interactively select a camera available in your network by defining the inAddress input.

This filter can throw an exception to report error. Read how to deal with errors in Error Handling.
