Unique name and serial number

[BBenj]

Hi,

I'm using the C++ Wrapper, and the serial number from IC_GetSerialNumber don't match with the serial number in the unique name (for the same camera, of course)
From IG_GetSerialNumber: 554762870
Serial number in the 'unique name': 21110276 (from 'DFx 72BUC02 21110276')

It must be the same, no ?

How I can do to convert it ?

Thanks !
Benj

Hi,

Before I start checking on my own: do you pass a char* to IC_GetSerialNumber()?


char Serial[10];
strcpy( Serial,"");
IC_GetSerialNumber(hGrabber,Serial);
printf("Serial is : %s",Serial);

Hi,

Yes, I pass a char* as in your code.

Thanks.

Hi,

I answered, but my message isn't here... :confused:

Yes I pass a char* as in your code, and the same string is always returned.

Thanks.

Hi,

your answer is here. However, I found the solution:


char szSerialNumber[20];
int TempSerial;
IC_GetSerialNumber(hGrabber, szSerialNumber);
TempSerial = atoi( szSerialNumber);
sprintf(szSerialNumber,"%08X",TempSerial);
printf("Serial is : %s",szSerialNumber);


For some reason the serial number is returned as decimal and must be converted.
