Image Format Control Category; Image Format Control Feature Description - Teledyne Linea 2K CL User Manual

Image Format Control Category

The Linea CL Image Format controls, as shown by CamExpert, groups parameters used to
configure camera pixel format, image cropping, and the binning function, Additionally a feature
control to select and output a camera internal test image simplifies qualifying a camera setup
without a lens.
Parameters in gray are read only, either always or due to another parameter being disabled.
Parameters in black are user set in CamExpert or programmable via an imaging application.
Features listed in the description table but tagged as Invisible are usually for Teledyne DALSA or
third party software usage—not typically needed by end user applications.

Description
Output image pixel coding format of the sensor. < RO >
Mono Monochrome format.
Indicates the type of color filter applied to the image. <
RO >
None No filter applied on the sensor.
Selects the type of test image output by the camera.
Off Image is from the camera sensor.
Ramp Image is filled horizontally with an image that goes from
the darkest possible value to the brightest.
A5 Alternating values. For 12-bit output, pixel values
alternate between 1381 (0x565) and 2746 (0xABA). For
8-bit output, pixel values alternate between 86 (0x56)
and 172 (0xAC).
Each_Tap_Fixed 8 pixel cycling pattern. For 12-bit output, the pattern is
0x120|0x020|0x130|0x030|0x140|0x040|0x150|0x050.
For 8-bit output, the pattern is
0x12|0x02|0x13|0x03|0x14|0x04|0x15|0x05.
All_1365 Fixed Grey Value. For 12-bit output: pixel value = 1381
(0x565). For 8-bit output: pixel value = 86 (0x56).
All_1 Fixed Grey Value. For 12-bit output: pixel value = 32
(0x20). For 8-bit output: pixel value = 2 (0x2).
Number of vertical photo-sensitive cells to combine
together. This increases the intensity of the pixels but
reduces the vertical resolution of the image.
Number of horizontal photo-sensitive cells to combine
together. This increases the intensity of the pixels but
reduces the horizontal resolution.
Horizontal image flip function.
