Do not use benzene, thinner, alcohol, liquid cleaner or spray-type cleaner. • 5.2.7 Adjusting the C-mount (mvBlueFOX3-2xxx-1xxx) The mvBlueFOX3-2xxx-1xxx does not support back focus adjustment. However, with the four screw locks at the front of the lens holder, it is possible to rotate the C-mount ring. Warning: In combination with mvBlueFOX3-2089 and mvBlueFOX3-2124 the C-mount lens holder has to look upwards during the adjusting.

ÂµPD720202 or ÂµPD720200A. 7.3.2 Installing the mvGenTL-Acquire driver To use the mvBlueFOX3 camera within Linux (grab images from it and change its settings), a driver is needed, consisting of several libraries and several configuration files. These files are required during run time.
Page 49: Connecting The Camera
"/etc/udev/rules.d" directory exists, which may contain several different files, each defining the behavior of a system device. In the specific case of the mvBlueFOX3 camera, if the camera has been installed through the respective installation script install_mvGenTL_Acquire.sh , a suitable set of rules has been installed automatically.

Save the file(s) and exit your editor Note: The above 52-U3V.rules file provides the necessary access priviledges not only for mvBlueFOX cameras, but also for U3V-compliant cameras of any other vendor.

So to call a function expecting a string and an integer value you e.g. might enter "testString 0" into the edit control left of the method.

Page 179 18 Use cases Figure 2: Image corrections: DefectivePixelsFilter Note: Repeating the defective pixel corrections will accumulate the correction data which leads to a higher value in "DefectivePixelsFound".

The following figure shows the principle of an incremental encoder:...

Page 221 18 Use cases Figure 1: wxPropView - Logic gate principle You can set this sample in wxPropView. E.g. the sensor makes 22.7 frames per second in Continuous Mode. This means that the sensor needs 44 ms to output the complete image. --------- = approx.
Page 222 18 Use cases Figure 2: wxPropView - Logic gate setting Note: Because there are 4 counters and 2 timers you can only add one further exposure time using one counter as a timer.

Page 234: Compensating Delay Of Strobe Or Flash
18 Use cases Be sure that the illumination fits with the movement of the device under test. Bright illumination and careful control of exposure time are usually required. To compensate blur in the image, short exposure times are needed. Alternatively, you can use flash with short burn times. For this, you can control the flash using the camera.
