AW00089317000 Image Acquisition Control
Basler ace GigE 155
If you are working with an acA750-30 camera:
Use the Field 0 or the Field 1 field output mode instead of the Concatenated New Fields or the
Deinterlaced New Fields field output mode. With the Field 0 or the Field 1 modes, you can get
approximately twice the frame rate, but you will be getting half height frames.
If you are working with an acA2000-50 or acA2040-25 camera:
Using the stacked zone imaging feature increases the camera’s frame rate.
For more information on the stacked zone imaging feature, see Section 10.6 on page 219.
If you are working with an acA1600-60 camera:
On the initial wake-up after delivery the Basler acA1600-60gm/gc cameras have default
transport layer settings that do not allow to reach the specified maximum possible frame rate.
If you want to obtain the maximum possible frame rate, change the values of the default
transport layer parameters in pylon Viewer as indicated in Table 43 on page 349.
For more information about
AOI settings, see Section 10.5 on page 216.
the packet size and inter-packet delay settings and about the settings that determine the
bandwidth assigned to the camera, see Appendix B on page 343.
An important thing to keep in mind is a common mistake new camera users
frequently make when they are working with exposure time. They will often use a
very long exposure time without realizing that this can severely limit the camera’s
maximum allowed frame rate. As an example, assume that your camera is set to
use a 1/2 second exposure time. In this case, because each frame acquisition will
take at least 1/2 second to be completed, the camera will only be able to acquire
a maximum of two frames per second. Even if the camera’s nominal maximum
frame rate is, for example, 100 frames per second, it will only be able to acquire
two frames per second because the exposure time is set much higher than
normal.
