Api Tab - Broadcom AFBR-S50 Quick Start Manual

AFBR-S50 User Guide Evaluation Kit Quick Start Guide

2.5.1 API Tab

In general, the API tab is organized into three categories: Generic API, Configuration API, and Calibration API. All
functions and accessible parameters shown in this section provide an overview about the interoperability with an AFBR-S50
sensor. As indicated in Figure 33, applicable settings have a Get button or a Set button (or both) on the right side to either
retrieve the current parameter setting from the sensor (Get) or send a new target setting to the sensor (Set).

Generic API
When a connection to the evaluation board is established, the Generic API section is populated with important information
about the device, such as the API and Explorer version number, module type, and chipID.
Configuration API
In this category, users can modify basic sensor settings, such as the measurement mode, frame rate, dual frequency mode,
and shot noise monitor mode, and can also optimize the Pixel Binning Algorithm settings. However, because all predefined
settings are based on empirical data for best sensor operation, there is no need to change these settings unless there is a
known reason.
