Operation with the IDS NXT cockpit: IDS NXT

With the button you can determine the automatic gain value once if you do not want to use the

"Continuous" option.

To determine the gain value, the trigger mode is briefly changed to "Software" and then reset to the original

value. No moving objects should be used for the determination, otherwise the correct execution cannot be

guaranteed.

Extended gain settings: In this area, you can set the red, green and blue gain separately for color models.

The sliders are disabled if automatic white balance is enabled.

Only for color models: With the button you can execute the automatic white balance once. For

white balance, first the gain value is determined and then the white balance is performed.

To determine the value, the trigger mode is briefly changed to "Software" and then reset to the original

value.

6.1.2 Image settings

In the "Image" area, you can rotate or save the image. You can also display a histogram.

Fig. 5: Image settings

With the button you rotate the image 90° counterclockwise. This function is only available within

the IDS NXT cockpit.

With the button you can save the current image in JPEG, PNG or BMP format.

Using the "Histogram" option, you can display a histogram below the image view. The histogram graphically

shows the frequency distribution of the color values in the image.

6.1.3 Image acquisition

6.1.3.1 Trigger type "Freerun"

In "Freerun" mode, the device captures and processes an image. After processing, the next image is

automatically captured. Since the processing time can vary for each image, the interval between two images

in this mode is not always equal, and therefore the frame rate is not deterministic.

Fig. 6: Trigger type "Freerun"

You can use the freerun mode if you want to adjust the device by the live image and still work without a

continuous trigger signal. There are no other settings in this mode.
