Pixel Data Formats
108 Basler pilot
Details of the monochrome formats are described in Section 9.2 on page 109 and details of the
color formats are described in Section 9.3 on page 115.
You can set the Pixel Format parameter value from within your application software by using the
pylon API. The following code snippet illustrates using the API to set the parameter value:
Camera.PixelFormat.SetValue( PixelFormat_Mono8 );
Camera.PixelFormat.SetValue( PixelFormat_Mono12Packed );
Camera.PixelFormat.SetValue( PixelFormat_Mono16 );
Camera.PixelFormat.SetValue( PixelFormat_YUV422Packed );
Camera.PixelFormat.SetValue( PixelFormat_YUV422_YUYV_Packed );
Camera.PixelFormat.SetValue( PixelFormat_BayerGB8 );
Camera.PixelFormat.SetValue( PixelFormat_BayerGB16 );
For detailed information about using the pylon API, refer to the Basler pylon Programmer’s Guide
and API Reference.
You can also use the Basler pylon Viewer application to easily set the parameters.
For more information about the pylon Viewer, see Section 3.1 on page 29.
