Basler racer Camera Link 94
If for example a post-divider of 2 is selected only every other signal received from the multiplier
module is passed out from the divider module and, accordingly, the frequency is halved. If a
post-divider of 1 is selected every signal received from the multiplier module is passed out un-
changed from the divider module.
Setting the Frequency Converter
You can configure the frequency converter module from within your application software by using
the Basler pylon API. The following code snippet illustrates using the API to set the parameter
values:
// Values for FrequencyConverterInputSource that might be available
// (from _Basler***CameraParams.h where *** == ‘GigE’ or *** == ‘CameraLink’
//
//enum FrequencyConverterInputSourceEnums
//{
// FrequencyConverterInputSource_CC1,
// FrequencyConverterInputSource_CC2,
// FrequencyConverterInputSource_CC3,
// FrequencyConverterInputSource_CC4,
//};
cam.FrequencyConverterInputSource.SetValue(FrequencyConverterInputSource_CC1);
cam.FrequencyConverterPreDivider.SetValue(4);
cam.FrequencyConverterMultiplier.SetValue(17);
cam.FrequencyConverterPostDivider.SetValue(1);
cam.FrequencyConverterPreventOvertrigger.SetValue(false);
// Values for FrequencyConverterSignalAlignment that might be available
// (from _Basler***CameraParams.h where *** == ‘GigE’ or *** == ‘CameraLink’
//
//enum FrequencyConverterSignalAlignmentEnums
//{
// FrequencyConverterSignalAlignment_RisingEdge,
// FrequencyConverterSignalAlignment_FallingEdge
//};
cam.FrequencyConverterSignalAlignment.SetValue(FrequencyConverterSignalAlignment
_RisingEdge);
You can also use the Basler pylon Viewer application to easily set the parameters.
You can use the frequency converter to multiply the original signal frequency by a
fractional value. Basler recommends multiplying the frequency by the enumerator
value using the multiplier module and dividing the resulting frequency by the
denominator value using the post-divider module.
