Thetimestamp can be useful for comparing the camera’s internal timing with the timings of otherdevices.The timestamp is a 64 bit latched value and is based on a counter that counts the number of"timestamp clock ticks" [ns] generated by the camera.1. Execute the TimestampLatch command.2. Retrieve the TimestampLatchValue parameter value.You can execute the TimestampLatch command and retrieve the TimestampLatchValue parametervalue from within your application software by using the Basler pylon API. The following codesnippet illustrates the procedure using the API:// execute a command to obtain a timestamp and retrieve the timestamp latch value[ns]camera.TimestampLatch.Execute();int64_t i = camera.TimestampLatchValue.GetValue();You can also use the Basler pylon Viewer application to easily obtain the timestamp.For more information about the pylon Camera Software Suite and the pylon Viewer, see Section 3.1on page 61.Note that there is an unspecified and variable delay between sending the softwarecommand and it becoming effective, i.e. the moment when the clock tics areactually read.To obtain the timestamp value:
