The image sensor of the daA1600-60uc/um delivers 10 bits of data per pixel.
If you set the daA1600-60uc/um for a 12-bit pixel format (Mono 12 or Bayer 12),
the camera will output 12-bit image data based on 10-bit sensor data.
You can find detailed information about the mono and color pixel formats in the Pixel Format
Naming Convention, Version 1.1 and above. The document is available from the Automated
Imaging Association (AIA).
You can set the PixelFormat parameter value from within your application software by using the
Basler pylon API. The following code snippet illustrates using the API to set the pixel format to
Bayer GB 12:
// Set the pixel format to Bayer GB 12
