7.3 Additional Camera Settings
At this stage, you will have succeeded in acquiring images and controlling the camera using the
pylon Viewer and you were able to optimize the image quality (see Section 7.2 on page 60).
To meet the requirements of your application, you will likely need to make additional camera
settings and to modify previous camera settings.
If you have not already done so, implement the typical conditions of operation as required by your
application before proceeding with the next steps. In particular, choose the lens and the illumination
required by your application.
Before making the additional camera settings, you must know the requirements for your application
regarding depth of focus, acquisition frame rate, size of the ROI (also known as AOI), and contrast.
And you must know what the priorities of the requirements are since some of the settings depend
on each other or have opposite effects. For example, a desired high acquisition frame rate may not
be reachable with the exposure time set to a high value or with the area of interest set to full
resolution.
Your next steps will involve all or some of the following:
Selecting the pixel format and frame rate (area scan cameras) or line rate (line scan cameras).
Defining an image ROI (also known as AOI).
Controlling exposure by selecting a trigger scheme and by setting the exposure time. If you
use an external device to supply the trigger, you must also connect the camera to the external
device using the I/O cable.
Controlling the frame rate (area scan cameras) or line rate (line scan cameras) by using the
Acquisition Frame Rate or Acquisition Line Rate parameter or with trigger signals.
For color camera models: Applying advanced color enhancements, e.g. color adjustment or
color transformation.
Enabling and parameterizing I/O signals.
Enabling and parameterizing camera features.
Saving parameter settings as a user set.
See
the camera User’s Manual for details about camera operation and features.
the Programmer’s Guide and Reference (C++, C, and .NET) included in the pylon Camera
Software Suite for information about setting and controlling the camera via a GenICam based
API.
Basler recommends controlling the camera via the API when taking the next steps.
