maximum frame rate with the current camera settings. If you gradually decrease the setting for the
Packet Size parameter, you will eventually find that the value of the Resulting Frame Rate Abs
parameter will also decrease.
If you are operating a single camera on your IEEE 1394b bus, you would ordinarily leave the Packet
Size parameter set at the maximum. However, if you are operating multiple cameras on a single
IEEE 1394b bus, you will probably need to change the Packet Size parameter so that the cameras
can effectively share the available bus bandwidth.
You can set the value of the Packet Size parameter and read the current value of the resulting
Frame Rate parameter from within your application software by using the pylon API. The following
code snippet illustrates using the API to work with the parameter values:
// Set packet size
Camera.PacketSize.SetValue( 4096 );
// Get resulting framerate
double resultingFps = Camera.ResultingFrameRateAbs.GetValue();
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 using multiple cameras on a single bus, see Section 11 on page 263.
