Sensor Control Feature Descriptions
The following table describes these features along with their view attribute and device version. For each feature the device version may differ
for each camera sensor available.
When a Device Version number is indicated, this represents the camera software functional group, not a firmware revision number. As Genie
Nano capabilities evolve the device version will increase, therefore identifying the supported function package. New features for a major
device version release will be indicated by green text for easy identification.
The first column indicates whether a feature applies to monochrome or color camera models via a symbol. No symbol indicates a common
feature. Additionally the description column will indicate which feature is a member of the DALSA Features Naming Convention (indicated by
DFNC), versus the GenICam Standard Features Naming Convention (SFNC tag is not shown).
