11.6 Status Line and Image Information

There are camera properties available that give information about the acquired images, such
as integration time, ROI settings or average image value. These properties can be queried by
software. Alternatively, a status line within the image data can be switched on that contains all
the available image information.

11.6.1 Image Average Value

The average image value gives the average of an image in 12 bit format (0 .. 4095 DN),
regardless of the currently used grey level resolution. Note that the 12-bit format was chosen
to be compatible with other Photonfocus cameras

11.6.2 Status Line Format

If enabled, the status line replaces the last row of the image with camera status information.
Every parameter is coded into fields of 4 pixels (LSB first) and uses the lower 8 bits of the pixel
value, so that the total size of a parameter field is 32 bit (see Fig. 11.12). The assignment of the
parameters to the fields is listed in Table 11.2.
The status line is available in all camera modes.
