Basler scout GigE 325
12.19 Camera Feature Set
After the camera is powered on, pylon software processes a camera description file to make the
camera features available for use. The camera description file is included in the camera and
describes the camera features in accord with the GenICam specification.
scout GigE cameras include two camera description files that are used alternatively. The camera
description files represent partially different combinations of features (feature sets).
To obtain the desired feature set for use you must select the related camera description file by
setting the CameraFeatureSet parameter value and restarting the camera (see below).
You can use either one of the following camera description files:
The "Full" camera description file provides the complete feature set. All features will be
available.
The "Basic" camera description file provides all features except the following ones:
Matrix color correction (see Section 10.3.3 on page 185)
Color adjustment (see Section 10.3.4 on page 189)
Sequencer (see Section 12.5 on page 241)
Accordingly, the features listed above will not be available.
Processing the selected camera description file takes some time. The time depends on the number
and nature of the included features. Accordingly, the different camera description files require
different periods to elapse until the camera features are available for use.
The CameraFeatureSet parameter setting persists when the camera is switched
off and on. Accordingly, the current camera description file will serve as the default
camera description file whenever the camera is powered on, until the other
camera description file is selected.
The camera features are sooner available when you use the Basic camera
description file.
If you will only use the smaller feature set, we recommend to leave the
CameraFeatureSet parameter value at the "Basic" factory setting. This will make
the camera features sooner available.
