Hi all

I have been using Bonsai+FlyCapture before, but I would like to switch to SpinnakerCapture given that new pointgrey cameras only support Spinnaker. Unfortunately, Spinnaker does not support embedding timestamp and counter information like FlyCapture, but has a chunk data embedded in the frame. I was wondering how one could retrieve that chunk data, and ultimately the timestamp and frame counter data via Bonsai. Any help would be appreciated!!
