4 Configuring the Camera

L800 cameras come with a factory set of parameters that will work properly for most applications
k
with only minor changes. For normal operation, the following parameters are usually configured
by the user:
• Video data output mode
• Exposure time control mode
• Exposure time (for ExSync programmable or free-run programmable exposure modes)
• Line Period (for free-run exposure modes)
To customize operation for your particular application, the following parameters may also need to
be configured:
• Gain
• Offset
• Area of Interest
• Stamp
The camera is programmable via the RS-644 serial connection in the Camera Link interface
between the frame grabber and the camera. Two methods can be used to change the camera's
parameters. The first and easier approach is to change the parameters using the Camera
Configuration Tool Plus (CCT+). See Section
You can also change the parameters directly from your application by using binary read/write
commands to set values in the camera's registers (see Section 4.2).
