Chunk Features
250 Basler scout
10.2 Making the "Chunk Mode" Active
Before you can use any of the camera’s "chunk" features, the "chunk mode" must be made active.
To make the chunk mode active:
Set the Chunk Mode Active parameter to true.
You can set the Chunk Mode Active parameter value from within your application software by using
the pylon API. The following code snippet illustrates using the API to set the parameter value:
Camera.ChunkModeActive.SetValue( true );
Note that making the chunk mode inactive switches all chunk features off.
Also note that when you enable ChunkModeActive, the PayloadType for the camera changes from
"Pylon::PayloadType_Image" to "Pylon::PayloadType_ChunkData".
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 the pylon Viewer, see Section 3.1 on page 43.
