This feature controls the maximum size of the packets used for image data. Setting this feature using the One-time Auto flag will initiate an end-to-end max packet size determination algorithm, so that this parameter will be automatically ’tuned to the user’s specific network to allow optimal transfers of image data.
This feature can also be set using the manual flag, to override the automatically tuned value. However, the auto determination algorithm is run each time the camera is initialized.
Parameters
