Settings don't change

[aorteganutai]

Hello,
I am using this repository together with PhoXiControl-1.11.1. For testing purposes, I refer to the example device "InstalledExamples-basic-example" and the GenTL files. After running the software_trigger.py script, everything works correctly. I have added this into display_texture_if_available to be able to save a 2D image:

    # Save texture as image
    output_path = "/API/examples/GenTL/python/my_outputs" # I created this folder
    output_name = "/image1.jpeg"
        # echo $PHOXI_CONTROL_PATH -> /opt/Photoneo/PhoXiControl-<version> 
    save_path = os.getenv('PHOXI_CONTROL_PATH') + output_path + output_name
    print('--> save path: ', save_path)
    cv2.imwrite(save_path, texture)

The problem comes when one of the two images in the example is saved with too much light, so I tried to change the settings.

After modifying parameters in "change_settings_scanner.py" and executing the file, nothing has changed and the same settings as at startup are still used. I have tried using code from change_settings_scanner.py inside the trigger file, but I get the same result. When I inspect the GUI during the software trigger, I can see that the settings have not changed, also if I add a print() in the change_settings script, the values are still the old ones and not the ones I modified.
I would appreciate some help to solve this error and to be able to change the settings via software for a later software trigger as well.
Thank you very much!

Your observations are correct. "InstalledExamples-basic-example" filecamera included with PhoXi Control contain two scans/frames/praw files. So you can loop over them using the trigger button (GUI)/function (GenTL).

And the issue with the settings not being changed has to do with how those filecameras are constructed. They are captured with real devices each with specific settings applied. They are mainly used for viewing/post scanning/debugging purposes. The set of settings and output structures are fixed and cannot be altered.
