Configuring the Camera AW00097209000
14 Basler IP Fixed Box Cameras
Exposure Offset - Is used to customize the operation of the camera’s automatic controls. Negative
settings will bias the auto controls toward producing darker images. Positive settings will bias the
auto controls toward producing lighter images.
Backlight Compensation - Check the box to enable the camera’s backlight compensation
feature. This feature automatically compensates when the main lighting comes from behind the
image subject.
Iris Mode - Sets the camera’s iris mode.
Auto = The iris will be automatically controlled by the camera.
Open = The iris is fully open.
Closed = The iris is fully closed.
Prioritize Open = The iris control will attempt to keep the iris as open as possible while still
maintaining good image quality.
Prioritize Closed = The iris control will attempt to keep the iris as closed as possible while still
maintaining good image quality.
The Open and Closed settings can be used to test the functionality of an iris mechanism.
The Prioritize Open and Prioritize Closed settings may improve image quality in certain situations.
Trying these settings under your actual conditions is the best way to determine whether one of the
settings is appropriate for your application.
Note that the operation of the automatic iris control will be strongly influenced by the placement of
the auto brightness mask. For more information about the auto brightness mask, see page 25.
Anti-Flicker - Enables or disables the anti-flicker feature. If the camera is operating in an
environment where the lighting flickers at a 50 Hz or a 60 Hz rate (such as incandescent or
fluorescent lights), the flickering lights can cause significant changes in brightness from image to
image. Enabling the anti-flicker feature may reduce the effect of the flickering in the captured
images.
Note that the Anti-Flicker feature will only be available when the Exposure Mode parameter (see
above) is set to one of the "prioritize" modes.
Exposure Time Limit - When automatic exposure time control is enabled (see Exposure Mode
above), the Exposure Time Limit parameter sets the maximum exposure time that the automatic
exposure control can use. If the Exposure Time Limit is set to "Off", there will be no limit for the
automatic exposure control.
Note that if the Anti-Flicker feature is enabled, the Exposure Time Limit parameter setting:
- must be 1/50 s or greater when the anti-flicker setting is 50 Hz.
- must be 1/60 s or greater when the anti-flicker setting is 60 Hz.
Exposure Time - When automatic exposure time control is disabled (see Exposure Mode above),
the Exposure Time parameter sets the exposure time for the captured images.
Note that if automatic exposure time control is enabled, the Exposure Time parameter will be read
only and will indicate the current exposure time value as set by the automatic control.
