AW00097603000 Standard Features
Basler aviator GigE 151
10 Standard Features
This chapter provides detailed information about the standard features available on each camera.
It also includes an explanation of their operation and the parameters associated with each feature.
10.1 Sensor Digitization Taps
The camera can be set to four tap or to one tap sensor digitization.
With four tap digitization, four separate electronic circuits (taps) are used to read out pixel
values from the sensor after a frame has been exposed. The main advantage of four tap mode
is that it reads out the sensor very rapidly and can result in higher maximum allowed frame
acquisition rates.
With one tap digitization, a single electronic circuit (tap) is used to read out pixel values
from the sensor after a frame has been exposed. The main advantage of one tap mode is that
it can produce a more uniform image. A disadvantage is that in single tap mode, the maximum
allowed frame acquisition rate will be significantly reduced.
For more information about sensor digitization taps, see Section 4.1 on page 23.
Setting the Sensor Digitization Taps
You can use the pylon API to set the sensor digitization taps from within your application software.
The following code snippet illustrates using the API to set the exposure mode:
// Set the digitization taps to 4
Camera.SensorDigitizationTaps.SetValue( SensorDigitizationTaps_Four );
// Set the digitization taps to 1
Camera.SensorDigitizationTaps.SetValue( SensorDigitizationTaps_One );
You can also use the Basler pylon Viewer application to easily set the parameters.
For more information about the pylon API and the pylon Viewer, see Section 3 on page 21.
