4.5.46 is_SetPixelClock
USB 2.0
USB 2.0
Syntax
INT is_SetPixelClock (HIDS hCam, INT Clock)
Description
Attention
This function is obsolete and should not be used anymore. We recommend to use the is_PixelClock()
function instead (see also Obsolete functions ).
is_SetPixelClock() sets the frequency used to read out image data from the sensor (pixel clock frequency).
Due to an excessive pixel clock for USB cameras, images may get lost during the transfer. If you change the pixel
clock on-the-fly, the current image capturing process will be aborted.
Note
Some sensors allow a higher pixel clock setting when if binning or subsampling is activated. If you set a higher
pixel clock and then reduce the binning/subsampling factors again, the driver will automatically select the highest
possible pixel clock for the new settings.
Attention
Changes to the image geometry or pixel clock affect the value ranges of the frame rate and exposure time. After
executing is_SetPixelClock(), calling the following functions is recommended in order to keep the defined
camera settings:
is_SetFrameRate()
is_Exposure()
If you are using the DCx Camera's flash function: is_IO()
