Data Type:

TW_UINT16

Purpose:

Specifies the type of pixel data that a Source is capable of acquiring (for example, black and white, gray, RGB, etc.).

• MSG_GET - returns a list of all pixel types available from the Source.
• MSG_SET on a TW_ENUMERATION structure - requests that the Source restrict the available pixel types to the enumerated list.
• MSG_SET on a TW_ONEVALUE container - specifies the only pixel type the application can accept.

If the application plans to transfer data through any mechanism other than Native and cannot handle all possible ICAP_PIXELTYPE, it must support negotiation of this ICAP.

Valid Values:

• TWPT_BW = 0
• TWPT_GRAY = 1
• TWPT_RGB = 2
• TWPT_PALETTE = 3
• TWPT_CMY = 4
• TWPT_CMYK = 5
• TWPT_YUV = 6
• TWPT_YUVK = 7
• TWPT_CIEXYZ = 8

Default Value:

N/A
