DCx Cameras
6.4 uc480 Parameter File (ini file)
Using the is_ParameterSet() function, you can save the currently set DCx camera parameters to a file in the ini
format (*.ini) or load an ini file.
Attention
Only camera-specific ini files can be loaded.
The ini file you want to load has to match the paired camera model.
When loading an ini file, make sure that the image size (AOI) and color depth parameters in the ini file match those
in the allocated memory. Otherwise, display errors may occur.
uc480 parameter files can also be created and edited manually. The following table shows the structure of the
parameter file. The entries in square brackets [] indicate sections. If a section does not exist in the ini file, the
corresponding camera parameters will not be modified when you load the file.
Hint
You can use wildcards in the ini file:
If you specify * as first character, then the highlighted characters will be interpreted in the camera name only, e.g.
*DCU224C. Thus this string applies for DCU223C and DCU224C.
