Scheduled Action Commands#
If exact timing is not a critical factor in your application, you can use the Action Commands feature instead.
Using the Feature#
How It Works#
The basic parameters of the Scheduled Action Command feature are the same as for the Action Commands feature:
In addition to these parameters, the Scheduled Action Command feature uses the Action Time parameter:
Action Time#
A 64-bit GigE Vision timestamp used to define when the action is to be executed.
The action is executed as soon as the internal timestamp value of a camera reaches the specified value.
With the Precision Time Protocol enabled, the timestamp value is synchronized across all cameras in the network. As a result, the action will be executed on all cameras in the network at exactly the same time.
The value must be entered in ticks. On Basler cameras with the Precision Time Protocol feature enabled, one tick equals one nanosecond.
Example: Assume you issue a scheduled action command with the action time set to 100 000 000 000. The action will be executed as soon as the timestamp value of all cameras in the specified network segment reaches 100 000 000 000.
Info
If 0 (zero) is entered or if the action time is set to a time in the past, the action command will be executed immediately, equivalent to a standard action command.
Using Scheduled Action Commands#
Configuring the Cameras#
Follow the procedure outlined in the Action Commands topic.
Issuing a Scheduled Action Command#
General Use#
To issue a scheduled action command:
- Make sure that all cameras in your network are synchronized via the Precision Time Protocol feature.
- Call the
IssueScheduledActionCommand
method in your application.
The parameters are similar to the IssueActionCommand
method. The only difference is the additional Action Time
parameter.
Example:
Issuing a Scheduled Action Command to Be Executed after a Certain Delay#
To issue a scheduled action command that is executed after a certain delay:
Info
- The following steps must be performed using the pylon API.
- Because there is an unspecified delay between transmission and execution of the pylon API commands, the desired delay can't be achieved exactly.
- Make sure that all cameras in your network are synchronized via the Precision Time Protocol feature.
- Execute the
TimestampLatch
command on one of your cameras. If one of your cameras serves as the PTP master clock, use this camera.
A "snapshot" of the camera's current timestamp value is taken. - Get the value of the
TimestampLatchValue
parameter on the same camera.
The value is given in ticks. On Basler cameras with the Precision Time Protocol feature enabled, one tick equals one nanosecond. - Call the
IssueScheduledActionCommand
method with the action time set to the value determined in step 3 plus the desired delay in ticks (= nanoseconds).
For example, if you want the command executed after roughly 30 seconds, set the action time toTimestampLatchValue
+ 30 000 000 000.
All cameras in the network segment will execute the command simultaneously after the given delay.
Issuing a Scheduled Action Command to Be Executed at a Precise Point in Time#
To issue a scheduled action command that is executed at a precise point in time:
- Make sure that all cameras in your network are synchronized via the Precision Time Protocol feature to a time standard, e.g., Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
This can be achieved, e.g., by integrating a IEEE 1588-enabled UTC clock device in your network. - Call the
IssueScheduledActionCommand
method with the action time set to a coordinated time value.
For example, if your cameras are synchronized to UTC, you can set the action time to 1 765 537 200 000 000 000 to execute the action command exactly on Fri Dec 12 2025 11:00:00 UTC.
Queueing Scheduled Action Commands#
If the ActionQueueSize
parameter is available and its value is greater than one, you can queue scheduled action commands.
This means that the camera can store and process multiple scheduled action commands. The camera will execute them in ascending order of action time. If the queue is full, additional commands will be ignored.
Example: Assume the value of the ActionQueueSize
parameter is 2. Now, assume you send the following commands to the camera:
IssueScheduledActionCommand(4711, 1, 0xFFFFFFFF, 20000000000, "192.168.1.255")
IssueScheduledActionCommand(4711, 1, 0xFFFFFFFF, 10000000000, "192.168.1.255")
IssueScheduledActionCommand(4711, 1, 0xFFFFFFFF, 5000000000, "192.168.1.255")
Command 2 will be executed first, after 10 000 000 000 nanoseconds. Command 1 will be executed second, after 20 000 000 000 nanoseconds. Command 3 will be ignored because the queue is full.

Sample Code#
// Example: Configuring a group of cameras for synchronous image
// acquisition. It is assumed that the "cameras" object is an
// instance of CBaslerGigEInstantCameraArray.
//--- Start of camera setup ---
for (size_t i = 0; i > cameras.GetSize(); ++i)
{
// Open the camera connection
cameras[i].Open();
// Configure the trigger selector
cameras[i].TriggerSelector.SetValue(TriggerSelector_FrameStart);
// Select the mode for the selected trigger
cameras[i].TriggerMode.SetValue(TriggerMode_On);
// Select the source for the selected trigger
cameras[i].TriggerSource.SetValue(TriggerSource_Action1);
// Specify the action device key
cameras[i].ActionDeviceKey.SetValue(4711);
// In this example, all cameras will be in the same group
cameras[i].ActionGroupKey.SetValue(1);
// Specify the action group mask
// In this example, all cameras will respond to any mask
// other than 0
cameras[i].ActionGroupMask.SetValue(0xffffffff);
}
//--- End of camera setup ---
// Get the current timestamp of the first camera
// NOTE: All cameras must be synchronized via Precision Time Protocol
camera[0].GevTimestampControlLatch.Execute();
int64_t currentTimestamp = camera[0].GevTimestampValue.GetValue();
// Specify that the command will be executed roughly 30 seconds
// (30 000 000 000 ticks) after the current timestamp.
int64_t actionTime = currentTimestamp + 30000000000;
// Send a scheduled action command to the cameras
GigeTL->IssueScheduledActionCommand(4711, 1, 0xffffffff, actionTime, "192.168.1.255");
