4.2.4 Setting Camera Parameters
Setting and getting parameters: Using these functions, you can make settings for the camera and
for image capture and preprocessing.
The DCxCamera's automatic image control features allow automatically adjusting image
brightness and image color to changing ambient conditions.
Image preprocessing: These functions specify e.g. how color images are processed after image
capture.
Querying the camera status: With these functions, you can query additional useful information on
the camera status.
Using the camera EEPROM: All DCx Cameras have a non-volatile EEPROM where you can
save the camera settings or any other information.
4.2.4.1 Setting and Getting Parameters
Capture parameters
This set of functions specifies the camera's image capture parameters, such as exposure, pixel
clock and frame rate:
is_ColorTemperature()
Sets the color temperature
is_Exposure()
Returns the adjustable exposure range.
is_GetFramesPerSecond()
Returns the current frame rate in live mode.
is_GetFrameTimeRange()
Returns the adjustable frame rate range.
is_PixelClock()
Returns the adjustable pixel clock range.
is_SetAutoParameter()
Enables/disables automatic imaging functions.
is_Blacklevel()
Turns black level correction on / off.
is_Exposure()
Sets the exposure time.
is_SetFrameRate()
Sets the frame rate.
is_SetGainBoost()
Sets additional sensor hardware gain boost.
is_SetGamma()
Sets the gamma value (digital post-processing).
is_SetHardwareGain()
Enables the sensor hardware gain.
is_SetHWGainFactor()
Sets the sensor hardware gain factor.
is_PixelClock()
Sets the pixel clock frequency.
is_ResetToDefault()
Resets the camera parameters to its default
values.
Image geometry
This set of functions lets you influence the image geometry for image capture, e.g. the area of
interest:
is_ImageFormat()
Sets a predefined image size
is_AOI()
Sets the size and position of an area of interest
(AOI) or of a reference AOI for auto imaging
functions.
is_SetBinning()
Sets the binning modes.
is_SetRopEffect()
Makes real-time geometry changes to an image
