This parameter declares the Camera Link tap geometry used by the camera.

Based on this parameter together with TapConfiguration, the frame grabber is able to re-arrange the data in the destination surface.

The naming conventions and the detailed description of all Camera Link tap configurations are explained in Camera Link Tap Geometry.
