1 Release Notes BGAPI 2.4
1.1 BGAPI
 Information
o All Linux distributions were up to date at the time of creation version 2.4.
 Added Linux distributions Debian 7.9, Debian 8.2, Fedora 22
 Removed Linux distributions Debian 7.8, Debian 8.0, Fedora 20
o Support for ARM platforms added

1.1.1 Consumer
 Enhancements
o Support Windows 10 for USB3 Vision
o Support Windows 10 for GigE Vision – NDIS 6 based Filter driver for Windows 10 added
o API behavior changes
 GenICam nodes of type ‘String’ are now supported by functions INode::GetNodeList
and INode::GetNodeTree
 Implemented the mechanism behind the mandatory SFNC feature TLParamsLocked.
For backward compatibility with existing BGAPI implementations the Consumer
provides the Device feature DisableTLParamsLocked which bypasses this mechanism.
 Confusing behavior of function SystemList::Refresh clarified. The function throws an
exception, if the initialization of at least one GenTL producer fails but the list was
filled with valid producer objects. The new version solved this behavior in the
following way: The Refresh function doesn’t throw an exception when it enumerates
an invalid GenTL producer. This producer will now add to the system list. The
exception is thrown when the user accessing it directly.
 Caching type changed from WriteAround to WriteThrough for all node types except
nodes with IFloat interface (see function Node::GetInterface to determine the node
type and table API changes).
 Behavior of C++ function Node::GetDoubleInc and C# property Node.Inc changed to
be standard conform. The function throws an exception, if the underlying GenICam
XML description file doesn’t contain the <Inc> element. To avoid the exception use
C++ function Node::HasInc (property Node.HasInc for C# respectively).

o API changes

Description C++ Changed C# Changed

functions/definitions functions/definitions
New parameter added to Device::StartStacking( Device.StartStacking(
the function StartStacking bo_bool bReplaceMode) bool bReplaceMode)

device or only the last one.
Clarify behavior of EVENTMODE_DISABLE EventMode.DISABLE
EVENTMODE_DISABLE and renamed to renamed to

o Solved a problem under Linux platform when loading a GenTL producer from the GenICam
path.
o C++ Interface

 Solved a problem, which signals DeviceEvents multiple times, when reopen a device.
 Access to RemoteNodeList after Device.Close throws now a
BGAPI2.Exceptions.NotInitializedException instead of
System.AccessViolationException.
 Solve a problem when calling DataStream::RegisterNewBufferEvent with
EventMode.POLLING and EventMode.UNREGISTERED

9 Release Notes BGAPI 2.2

9.1 BGAPI
 Enhancements
o Supports versions the following linux distributions: Debian 7.1, Ubuntu 12.04, Ubuntu 12.10,
Ubuntu 13.04 and Ubuntu 13.10
o Stability improved.

memory leaks fixed

plug'n play in multi camera systems stabilized

13/15 Baumer Optronic GmbH

9.1.1 Consumer
 Enhancements
o Some refresh functions of the list classes are changed. All Refresh functions of the list classes
uses a timeout value as parameter. For some main classes this parameter is useless, therefore
this parameter was removed for the functions SystemList::Refresh and DataStreamList::Refresh.
o Handling with main class objects improved. Now it is possible to get access from a main class
object to it's superordinate main class. E.g. when using a Device object there was no way to
get access to the Interface object on which the device is connected. To achieve this the main
classes provides the new function getParent:

Buffer::GetParent
DataStream::GetParent
Device::GetParent
Interface::GetParent

New functions added to check if a main class object is opened:

System::IsOpen
Interface::IsOpen
DataStream::IsOpen

o DeviceEvent, Image and ImageProcessor inherits from node interface. The classes DeviceEvent,
Image and ImageProcessor inherits from the node interface (class INode). For the class
DeviceEvent it is possible to access device event features specified in the GenICam XML file of
the device. For the Image and ImageProcessor classes it is possible to extend the functionality
without changing the class definition.
o Node interface extended. The class NodeMap provides now the iterator access like the list
classes and two new find functions for fast node searching. The following new functions were
declared:

class BGAPI2_DECL iterator

iterator begin();
iterator end();
iterator find(const String& _keyval);
bo_uint64 size();
Node* operator[](const String& val);
bo_bool GetNodePresent(String name);

The class Node defines a new function to get an increment of floating values:

Node::GetDoubleInc

o Device class extended. The Device class provides the new function GetSerialNumber to get the
serial number of the device. This function can also be used for identifying the device without
opening.
o Image class extended. New histogram function added to specify a ROI.
o Some functions renamed.

DataStream function renamed: Buffer::GetBufferID -> Buffer::GetBufferByIndex

System function renamed System::GetName -> System::GetFileName

14/15 Baumer Optronic GmbH

 o Error handling improved. Two new exception classes were added. The ObjectInvalidException
is thrown if an BGAPI2 object is not valid or is no longer valid. The LowLevelException is
thrown, if a GenTL call to a GenTL producer failes. Some unused exception classes were
removed: InvalidIdException, IOException, SysVarMissingException.
o Preparation using event handler. The using of event handler is only prepared, but not
implemented yet. Therefore the following functions are not implemented and throw always
the NotImplementedException:
InterfaceEventControl::CancelGetPnPEvent
InterfaceEventControl::RegisterPnPEventHandler
DeviceEventControl::CancelGetDeviceEvent
DeviceEventControl::RegisterDeviceEventHandler
DataStreamEventControl::RegisterNewBufferEventHandler

9.1.2 GigE Interface
