Remarks

If your GigE Vision™ camera support the timestamp function, it will mark each frame with a very accurate time value indicating the precise moment at which the frame was acquired by the camera relative to the moment at which the camera was powered up.

If the camera doesn't support timestamps, this method will return the time passed since January 1, 1970.
