cam.properties['ExposureTime'] KeyError: 'Key does not exist

[maxlklaxl]

could it be that the cam.properties.keys() differ from camera to camera?

>>> cam.properties['ExposureTime']
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/strawlab/image-processing-server/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/IPython/core/interactiveshell.py", line 3066, in run_code

KeyError: 'Key does not exist'

so this is the list of properties from the GigE Basler acA640-120gm

Yep, this is what the API exposes. However there are direct access helpers inside the C API. Potentially these are more unified. I'll look into these.

This works for me on Basler acA3800-10gm (22493825)

cam.properties['ExposureTimeAbs'] = 50000
