12.9.4 Auto Function Profile
If you want to use the gain auto function and the exposure auto function at the same time, you must
also set the auto function profile. The auto function profile specifies whether the gain or the
exposure time will be kept as low as possible when the system is making automatic adjustments as
it attempts to reach the target average gray value.
To use the gain auto function and the exposure auto function at the same time, carry out the
following steps:
1. Set the auto function profile to specify whether gain or exposure time will be minimized during
adjustments.
2. Set the gain auto function to the "continuous" mode of operation.
3. Set the exposure auto function to the "continuous" mode of operation.
You can set the auto function profile from within your application software by using the Basler pylon
API. The following code snippets illustrate using the API to set the auto function profile. As an
example, Gain Auto is set to be minimized during adjustments:
// Use the gain auto and exposure auto features simultaneously
Camera.AutoFunctionProfile.SetValue( AutoFunctionProfile_GainMinimum );
Camera.GainAuto.SetValue( GainAuto_Continuous );
Camera.ExposureAuto.SetValue( ExposureAuto_Continuous );
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.
