4 If the camera should strobe when it is not in production mode, select the
Enable strobe offline checkbox. This is necessary if, for example, the camera
is used together with a strobe light. This setting applies only to Gigabit
Ethernet cameras.
5 If the selected camera is a color camera and will be used together with the
color video format, it is necessary to calibrate the white balance of the camera
using this procedure:
a Put a white sheet of paper under the camera. The sheet must cover
the entire field of view.
b Adjust the light settings so that the image looks medium gray. Use
either the camera aperture or the exposure time.
c In the White balance part, click Calculate. This will calculate the white
balance calibration parameters.
d Click Apply. This will modify the camera's internal settings.
e Click Save on camera. This will store the settings in the camera.
For more information about color vision, see
6 If needed, adjust Exposure, Brightness, and Contrast and click Apply in
the Camera settings part.
Adjust the exposure to achieve the best image possible. The exposure
together with the camera aperture defines the focus depth and possible
motion blur. These two parameters must be suitably adjusted depending on
the type of objects to look for and the speed of the conveyor.
