You can combine vertical and horizontal binning. This, however, may cause objects to appear dis-
torted in the image. For more information on possible image distortion due to combined vertical and
horizontal binning, see the next section.
Setting Binning
You can enable vertical binning by setting the Binning Vertical parameter. Setting the parameter’s
value to 2, 3, or 4 enables vertical binning by 2, vertical binning by 3, or vertical binning by 4 respec-
tively. Setting the parameter’s value to 1 disables vertical binning.
You can enable horizontal binning by setting the Binning Horizontal parameter. Setting the param-
eter’s value to 2, 3, or 4 enables horizontal binning by 2, horizontal binning by 3, or horizontal bin-
ning by 4 respectively. Setting the parameter’s value to 1 disables horizontal binning.
You can use the pylon API to set the Binning Vertical or the Binning Horizontal parameter value from
within your application software. The following code snippet illustrates using the API to set the
parameter values:
// Enable vertical binning by 2
Camera.BinningVertical.SetValue( 2 );
// Enable horizontal binning by 4
Camera.BinningHorizontal.SetValue( 4 );
// Disable vertical and horizontal binning
Camera.BinningVertical.SetValue( 1 );
Camera.BinningHorizontal.SetValue( 1 );
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.
