Basler racer Camera Link 97

Pixel Format Interaction with the Sensor Bit Depth

The camera’s sensor can capture image data at 12 bit depth. There is an interaction between the

Sensor Bit Depth setting and the Pixel Format setting as described in Table 16.

By selecting a pixel format, you determine the format (layout) of the image data transmitted by the

camera. This section provides detailed information about the available pixel formats.

Setting the Pixel Format

You can use the pylon API to set the PixelFormat parameter value from within your application. The

following code snippet illustrates using the API to set the parameter value:

// Set pixel format to Mono 8

camera.PixelFormat.SetValue(PixelFormat_Mono8);

// Set pixel format to Mono 10

camera.PixelFormat.SetValue(PixelFormat_Mono10);

// Set pixel format to Mono 12

camera.PixelFormat.SetValue(PixelFormat_Mono12);

You can also use the Basler pylon Viewer application to easily set the parameter.

For more information about the pylon API and the pylon Viewer, see Section 3.1 on page 26.

 Set the value of the Pixel Format register to Mono 8, Mono 10, or Mono 12 as desired.

For more information about direct register access, see Section 3.2 on page 28.
