7 Camware Features
PCO’s renowned software for camera control, image acquisition, and
archiving of images in various file formats.
You will find an online help under the common Help menu.
Note: There are some features explained in the online help that are not
applicable for this camera version.
7.1 If no camera is connected
When Camware is started, it automatically recognizes the camera type of
the connected and running cameras.
If Camware is started with no camera
connected to the PC or with cameras
switched off, it starts in demo mode.
In this mode all image processing
features are available. The user only has
to tell Camware which type of images
will be opened. For that purpose, the
"Demo Mode Setup" window opens
and asks for the corresponding input.
Need Help? If this window pops up
because you have trouble running the
camera, please see instructions in
appendix A6.
Resolution
The drop down list offers the existing image sensor spatial resolutions of all
PCO camera systems. Please select the specific resolution and bit depth of
the images to be opened! If double shutter images have been recorded and
should be opened, “Double Shutter Mode” should be checked.
Color
With the radio buttons, the user can specify whether the image type is
monochrome (b/w) or color.
Alignment
These two radio buttons adjust whether MSB aligned ("upper") or LSB
aligned ("lower") images have been stored (see page 34, “File Settings”).
