Configuring The Camera - Basler A202K Manual

4 Configuring the Camera

The A202 comes factory-set so that it will work properly for most applications with only minor
k
changes to the camera's settings. For normal operation, the following settings are usually
configured by the user:
• Exposure time control mode
• Exposure time (for ExSync programmable mode or free-run programmable mode)
To customize operation for your particular application, the following settings can also be
configured:
• Gain
• Offset
• Digital Shift
• Area of Interest
• Binning
• Mirror Image
The A202 is programmable via the Camera Link serial port on the frame grabber. Two methods
k
can be used to change the cameras's settings. The first and easier approach is to change the
settings using the Camera Configuration Tool. See Section 4.1 and the configuration tool's on-line
help file for instructions on using the configuration tool. You can also change the settings directly
from your application using binary commands. Section 4.2 lists the binary commands and
provides instructions for their use.
