arv-tool on CoaXPress?

[LeeYangLBLBCS]

I have a Basler boA5120-230cm with CoaXPress connection.
Did you ever test the arv-tool on a CoaXPress connection?
I think arv-tool is required for extracting XML file....

I don't have cameras other than GigE and USB3. I don't know a way to do it with pylon SDK.

In the developing version (main branch) of aravis, it can use pylon CoaXPress GenTL to retrieve the xml file. You may try the following command.

$ export GENICAM_GENTL64_PATH=$PYLON_ROOT/lib/pylonCXP/bin/ProducerCXP.cti
$ arv-tool-0.10

I created a Python script to get the xml source from a GenICam camera, given a GenTL library, see https://gist.github.com/xiaoqiangwang/671f4da4614e5b5024bc2fe4480d4283

thanks very much for the Python script.
I havn't been able to test it until now.
Does the script create a "XML" file?
my arv-tool returned the following output:
$ arv-tool-0.10
1200-21-067-Acq_DualCXP12Area-1 (CXP)
But the gentl.py didn't seem to create any output, also without errors:
$python3 gentl.py --cti /opt/pylon/lib/gentlproducer/gtl/ProducerGEV.cti --device '1200-21-067-Acq_DualCXP12Area-1 (CXP)' genicam

[xiaoqiangwang]

the --cti option to gentl.py should point to the CXP GenTL library, something like, /opt/pylon/lib/pylonCXP/bin/ProducerCXP.cti

[LeeYangLBLBCS]

This command didn't generate any output, also with no errors.
python3 gentl.py --cti /opt/pylon/lib/pylonCXP/bin/ProducerCXP.cti --device '1200-21-067-Acq_DualCXP12Area' genicam

The camera name maybe different from what arv-tool interprets. Follow this to get the camera name https://gist.github.com/xiaoqiangwang/671f4da4614e5b5024bc2fe4480d4283?permalink_comment_id=5412759#gistcomment-5412759

Do you know if this IOC written by Mark Rivers will also work similarly?
It mentioned a "gentl" tool, that sound like a binary program (not python).

Mark mentioned "gentl" is a program supplied by Euresys SDK

Since you have got "arv-tool-0.10" detecting your camera, you can use it to retrieve the xml file as usual.
