Ranger E Parameters
Figure 7.1 – A profile from the Image component contains one row of the sensor image.
The image component for the ColorRanger E has the ability to also display the high-
resolution rows.
 Data from the high-resolution rows is placed in the first profiles of each buffer.
 The ColorRanger E only sends data from every other column of the Hi-Res rows, so that
the length of each profile is the same for all profiles in the buffer.
 The data from the Hi-Res rows are repeated in multiple profiles, and empty profiles
(where all values are 0) are inserted to represent the areas between the rows. This is
done to maintain the aspect of the sensor in the resulting sensor image:
Hi-Res Gray (row 512) Repeated 3 times (profile 1, 2, and 3).
Area between Hi-Res Gray
and Hi-Res Color Repeated 3 times (profile 4, 5, and 6).
Hi-Res Color, blue (row 514) Repeated 4 times (profile 7, 8, 9, and 10).
Hi-Res Color, green (row 516) Repeated 4 times (profile 11, 12, 13, and 14).
etc...
The following parameters can be set for the Image component:
Parameter Description
Edit while
measuring
Enable Used for backward compatibility.
Should always be set to 1.
Measurement ROI
overlay
Specifies whether or not the ROIs for each component in
the measurement configuration should be shown in the
image. Default value 0.
0 = Do not show ROIs
1 = Show each measurement component’s ROI
x
Start row The first sensor row to acquire data from.
Values: 0–511. Default value: 0.
Number of rows Number of rows to acquire data from.
Values: 1–512. Default value: 512.
Show hires (ColorRanger E only)
Specifies whether or not to include data from the high-
resolution rows on the sensor of a ColorRanger E cam-
era.
0 = Do not include Hi-Res rows
1 = Include data from Hi-Res rows
Exposure time Time in microseconds during which the sensor is ex-
posed to light.
Values: 10–200 000. Default value: 10 000.
x
Gain Factor to amplify the analog sensor data before AD
conversion.
Values: 1, 3, 4. Default value: 1 (No amplification).
x
Image speed Upper bound on the data rate in Megabit/second
Values: 5-400, Default value 100.
