There is a behavior in MAX that when a new GENiCAM camera is being introduced onto a system, MAX will query the camera for its XML configuration file, and drop a copy in the IMAQdx\Data folder. If there are any errors during this query exchange, MAX reports a bad attribute, and does not copy the XML file to the Data directory. The end result is that you cannot connect to the camera until you clear up the error by some other means.
In my case, I can connect to the camera with any other vision package, and clear the error by loading the DefaultUserSet.
I want to know if there is a low level method for doing what MAX does, that will allow me to ignore the errors and get the camera to the point where I can command it to load the DefaultUserSet programatically.
Keep in mind, I cannot open a session to the camera until the error is cleared, so any solution that begins by opening the camera session is not going to work.
