+ All notable changes to this project are documented here.
4
+ The format follows [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/),
5
+ and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).

7
+ ## [Unreleased]
8
+
9
+ ## [0.1.0] - 2026-07-27
10
+
11
+ First release. Enumeration, open/close, the GenICam node map, streaming with enforced buffer
12
+ lifetime, and GigE transport tuning — all exercised against an MV-CS023-10GM. Action commands
13
+ and the CUDA layer are not implemented yet, and the public API may still change.
14
+
15
+ ### Added
16
+
17
+ - README with the public API, the buffer-lifetime rules and the GigE transport notes. Every
18
+ example is verified against a real camera; `ruff format` also parses the Python blocks, so a
19
+ broken snippet fails lint.
20
+ - CI: a `package` job that builds the wheel, installs it into a clean environment and imports it
21
+ from `site-packages` — the check the `src/` layout exists to make possible.
22
+
23
+ - Repository skeleton: `src/` layout, hatchling build, ruff/mypy/pytest configuration, CI matrix
24
+ (ubuntu-latest + windows-latest, unit tests only).
25
+ - `_loader`: lazy MVS library discovery and loading across Linux and Windows, with the
26
+ `MVCAM_SDK_PATH` / `MVCAM_COMMON_RUNENV` / installer-default search order, the
27
+ architecture-directory map, `WinDLL` on Windows and `RTLD_GLOBAL` on Linux.
28
+ - `_errors`: `HikrobotError` base with `SDKNotFoundError`, `SDKLoadError` and
29
+ `UnsupportedPlatformError`.
30
+ - `_errors`: all 55 `MV_E_*` status codes of `MvErrorDefine.h` transcribed by hand, mapped onto a
31
+ `StatusError` hierarchy — one class per vendor range (`GeneralError`, `GenICamError`, `GigEError`,
32
+ `USBError`, `UpgradeError`) plus named classes for the codes callers act on. Codes are normalised
33
+ from the signed `int` the SDK returns, so `restype` may be `c_int` or `c_uint`.
34
+ - `_errors`: the `check` / `call` helpers, the only sanctioned way to invoke an SDK entry point.
35
+ `call(..., allow=...)` covers statuses that are expected at a given call site, which keeps bare
36
+ `if ret != 0` out of the package.
37
+ - `_ctypes_defs`: the structures the enumerate/open/grab path needs — `MV_CC_DEVICE_INFO` with its
38
+ six-member transport union, `MV_CC_DEVICE_INFO_LIST`, `MV_FRAME_OUT_INFO_EX`, `MV_FRAME_OUT` —
39
+ transcribed by hand from `CameraParams.h`, with the transport-layer and access-mode constants.
40
+ - `_ctypes_defs`: `argtypes`/`restype` for the twelve entry points used so far, applied through
41
+ `sdk()`, which loads the library once and declares every prototype before first use.
42
+ - `device`: `enumerate_devices()` and the `DeviceInfo` record. Each record holds its own copy of
43
+ the vendor structure, so it stays valid after a later enumeration has reused the SDK's own.
44
+ - `camera`: `Camera` with `open()` / `close()`, context-manager support, `is_open`,
45
+ `is_connected` and the access-mode table. A failed open destroys the handle it had already
46
+ created; a failed close still destroys it and still forgets it.
47
+ - `CameraStateError` for state mismatches the wrapper catches before the SDK does.
48
+ - Tests: a fake MVS library at the CDLL boundary, so struct packing, `argtypes` and the
49
+ status-to-exception mapping stay under test without hardware.
50
+ - `nodes`: `NodeMap` with typed access to integer, float, boolean, enumeration, string and
51
+ command nodes, plus the `IntRange` / `FloatRange` records. Enumerations go through the `Ex`
52
+ entry point, whose 256-entry list is not capped at 64 like the older one.
53
+ - `frame`: `Frame` — a zero-copy, read-only NumPy view onto a driver node, with metadata
54
+ snapshotted so it outlives the buffer. `data` and `copy()` raise `BufferReleasedError` once the
55
+ node is gone; bit-packed formats raise `UnsupportedPixelFormatError` from `data` and stay
56
+ reachable through `raw_bytes`.
57
+ - `camera`: `start_grabbing()` / `stop_grabbing()` / `is_grabbing`, and the `frames()` and
58
+ `frames_raw()` iterators. `frames()` releases each node in a `finally`; `frames_raw()` hands the
59
+ release to the caller. Stopping acquisition reclaims any frame still outstanding, because the
60
+ pool is torn down with it.
61
+ - `BufferReleasedError` and `UnsupportedPixelFormatError`.
62
+ - `camera`: GigE transport tuning — `packet_size`, `packet_delay`, `optimal_packet_size`,
63
+ `tune_packet_size()`, `enable_resend()` and the `statistics` counters (`TransportStats`).
64
+ `MV_CC_GetOptimalPacketSize` returns the size rather than a status and reports failure by
65
+ returning an `MV_E_*` code, which the wrapper unpicks.
66
+ - `camera`: `Camera.nodes` and `Camera.handle`, plus named properties over the SFNC features -
67
+ `width`, `height`, `offset_x`, `offset_y`, `payload_size`, `exposure_us`, `gain_db`,
68
+ `frame_rate`, `pixel_format`, `pixel_formats`, and the matching range accessors.

49
+ ## Requirements
50
+
51
+ | | |
52
+ |---|---|
53
+ | Python | 3.9+ |
54
+ | Runtime dependency | `numpy` — nothing else, ever, in the core package |
55
+ | SDK | Hikrobot MVS 4.x, installed separately by you |
56
+ | Platforms | Linux `x86_64` / `aarch64` / `armv7l`, Windows x64 |
57
+
58
+ This package **does not ship any Hikrobot code**. It opens an SDK you installed yourself;
59
+ get it from the vendor under their terms.
60
+
61
+ ## Install
62
+
63
+ ```bash
64
+ pip install pyhikrobot
65
+ ```
66
+
67
+ The `cuda` extra (`pip install "pyhikrobot[cuda]"`) pulls in CuPy for the device-side
68
+ layer, which is not written yet.
69
+
70
+ The SDK is found through `MVCAM_SDK_PATH`, falling back to `/opt/MVS` on Linux and the
71
+ installer's `Common Files\MVS\Runtime` on Windows. Nothing is loaded at import time, so
72
+ `import hikrobot` works on a machine with no SDK and no camera — a missing SDK raises
73
+ `SDKNotFoundError` on first real use.
74
+
75
+ ## Quick start
76
+
77
+ ```python
78
+ import hikrobot
79
+
80
+ devices = hikrobot.enumerate_devices()
81
+ for device in devices:
82
+ print(device.transport, device.model_name, device.serial_number, device.ip_address)
83
+
84
+ with hikrobot.Camera(devices[0]) as camera:
85
+ camera.exposure_us = 2500.0
86
+ camera.gain_db = 0.0
87
+
88
+ for frame in camera.frames(timeout_ms=1000):
89
+ print(frame.frame_number, frame.data.shape, frame.data.mean())
90
+ break
91
+ ```
92
+
93
+ `Camera()` touches no SDK state; the context manager opens and closes the device.
94
+
95
+ ## Buffer lifetime
96
+
97
+ **This is the one rule that matters.** `frame.data` is a read-only NumPy view onto a node
98
+ of the driver's buffer pool — not memory you own. The pool is fixed and recycled, so once
99
+ the node goes back the driver writes the *next* frame into the same address.
100
+
101
+ ```python
102
+ for frame in camera.frames(timeout_ms=1000):
103
+ total = frame.data.sum() # fine — inside the body
104
+ keep = frame.copy() # fine — owns its memory, writable
105
+ leaked = frame.data # a view; its node goes back at the end of the body
106
+ break
107
+
108
+ frame.data # BufferReleasedError — the usual mistake, caught
109
+ leaked.mean() # no error, and no longer this frame's pixels
110
+ ```
111
+
112
+ Note the asymmetry. Reaching for `frame.data` after the release raises, which catches the
113
+ common mistake in development instead of in the field. An array you already took out
114
+ cannot be caught — NumPy has no idea the memory changed hands, so it keeps working and
115
+ quietly returns whatever the driver wrote there next. That is the failure this API is
116
+ shaped to avoid, and `.copy()` is the only thing that avoids it.
117
+
118
+ `frames()` releases the node in a `finally`, on every route out including `break`,
119
+ `return` and exceptions. There is deliberately no "hold this one for me" shortcut: a
120
+ `.copy()` of a 2 MB frame is visible in a profile, an accidentally retained view is not.
121
+
122
+ For consumers that outlive the loop body, `frames_raw()` hands the release over:
123
+
124
+ ```python
125
+ camera.start_grabbing(node_count=8) # own acquisition, or leaving the loop stops it
126
+ try:
127
+ for frame in camera.frames_raw(timeout_ms=1000):
128
+ queue.put(frame) # released later, by whoever drains the queue
129
+ finally:
130
+ camera.stop_grabbing() # reclaims anything still outstanding
131
+ ```
132
+
133
+ The pool holds exactly `node_count` nodes and **the SDK's default is one**, so holding a
134
+ second frame without raising it fails with `InsufficientBufferError`.
135
+
136
+ ## Camera settings
137
+
138
+ Named properties cover the common SFNC features:
139
+
140
+ ```python
141
+ camera.width, camera.height, camera.offset_x, camera.offset_y
142
+ camera.exposure_us, camera.gain_db, camera.frame_rate
143
+ camera.pixel_format, camera.pixel_formats
144
+ camera.payload_size # read-only
145
+ camera.exposure_range_us.min # FloatRange(value, min, max)
146
+ camera.nodes.int_range("Width").inc # IntRange(value, min, max, inc)
147
+ ```
148
+
149
+ Anything else goes through the node map directly:
150
+
151
+ ```python
152
+ camera.nodes.set_enum("TriggerMode", "On")
153
+ camera.nodes.set_enum("TriggerSource", "Software")
154
+ camera.nodes.execute("TriggerSoftware")
155
+ camera.nodes.get_int("GevTimestampTickFrequency")
156
+ ```
157
+
158
+ Two behaviours worth knowing, both measured rather than assumed:
159
+
160
+ - A missing node and a wrong-typed access return the **same** status, so both raise
161
+ `GenICamError`. When one appears, check the spelling *and* the type.
162
+ - Float features are quantised to a hardware step the node map does not expose. Writing
163
+ `gain_db = 1.0` reads back as `1.0052`. Write, then read, and trust the second value.
164
+
165
+ ## GigE transport
166
+
167
+ The knobs that decide whether streaming works at all:
168
+
169
+ ```python
170
+ camera.tune_packet_size() # probe the path, apply what it carries
171
+ camera.enable_resend(True) # retransmit packets the host missed
172
+
173
+ camera.start_grabbing(node_count=4)
174
+ for frame in camera.frames(timeout_ms=5000):
175
+ ...
176
+ stats = camera.statistics # only valid while acquisition runs
177
+ camera.stop_grabbing()
178
+
179
+ stats.lost_packets, stats.lost_frames, stats.resent_packets
180
+ ```
181
+
182
+ Incomplete frames almost always mean a packet size the network path cannot carry — start
183
+ with `tune_packet_size()`. Counters live only between `start_grabbing()` and
184
+ `stop_grabbing()` and reset on every start.
185
+
186
+ ## Errors
187
+
188
+ Everything derives from `HikrobotError`, so you can catch one thing. Below it, one class
189
+ per vendor error range, plus named classes for the codes callers actually branch on:
190
+
191
+ ```text
192
+ HikrobotError
193
+ ├── SDKNotFoundError, SDKLoadError, UnsupportedPlatformError
194
+ ├── CameraStateError, BufferReleasedError, UnsupportedPixelFormatError
195
+ └── StatusError .status .name .operation
196
+ ├── GeneralError InvalidHandleError, CallOrderError, NoDataError,
197
+ │ IncompleteImageError, InsufficientBufferError, …
198
+ ├── GenICamError CameraTimeoutError, ValueOutOfRangeError, …
199
+ ├── GigEError AccessDeniedError, DeviceBusyError, NetworkError, …
200
+ ├── USBError
201
+ └── UpgradeError
202
+ ```
203
+
204
+ An untranslated code still arrives as its range's class carrying `.status` and `.name`, so
205
+ nothing is lost:
206
+
207
+ ```python
208
+ try:
209
+ camera.open()
210
+ except hikrobot.AccessDeniedError:
211
+ ... # held by another process
212
+ except hikrobot.HikrobotError as exc:
213
+ print(exc) # MV_CC_OpenDevice failed: MV_E_NETER (0x80000206) - network error
214
+ ```
215
+
216
+ ## Development
217
+
218
+ ```bash
219
+ pip install -e ".[dev]"
220
+
221
+ pytest tests/unit # no SDK, no camera, no CUDA — runs anywhere
222
+ pytest tests --hardware # opt-in; needs one reachable camera
223
+ ruff check . && ruff format --check . && mypy
224
+ ```
225
+
226
+ Unit tests run against a fake that sits at the `CDLL` boundary, so struct packing,
227
+ `argtypes` and the status-to-exception mapping stay under test without hardware.
