4 Configuring the Camera
The A102 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:
• Video data output mode (single 8 bit or single 10 bit)
• 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
The A102 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 CCT+. 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.
The CCT+ will become available during the summer of 2002. Until then, you can use
the CamReg tool to set the parameters on your camera. Please contact your local
dealer to receive the CamReg tool. Once the CCT+ is completed and tested, it will be
made available for download from the Basler web site www.basler-vc.com.
