The Data Output Format; The Data Channel Assignment Dc0, Dc1 And Dc2 - Automation Technology C2 Series User Manual

The Data Output Format

The image and 3D data output is performed by selecting the data channel DC0-DC2 (node Camera Controls→DataOutput). Depending on the
algorithm the data can be acquired by enabling the corresponding output Data Channel (DC). Every DC is saved in a new image row. The bit depth
of output data depends on the selected algorithm. In 3D mode the camera outputs data with 16 bit. In Image mode the camera can output 8 or 16
bit data. When in 8 bit Image mode, the DC0 delivers the 8 most significant bits of the 10 bit intensity data.
