Page 64: General Features
When decimation is chosen, only every n-th pixel is used to create the output image. For example, with a 2x1 vertical skipping, every odd number line is used and every even number line is skipped, resulting in an image with half its original vertical resolution. Skipping is a faster downsampling mode, but also introduces more aliasing effects. XIMEA Technical Manual, Version: v240920... -
Page 65: Image Data Output Formats
When using Transport Data Format, the Image Processing block from XiAPI Image Data Flow is skipped and therefore the Transport format is the most effective data format in terms of CPU and RAM usage. Table 54: Image data output formats XIMEA Technical Manual, Version: v240920... -
Page 66: Acquisition Modes
Unlike in the free-run, each image exposure can also be triggered with an input trigger signal. In this mode, the sensor waits in stage until the trigger signal arrives. Only then, the exposure of first frame is started, which is followed by the data readout. XIMEA cameras supports several triggered modes along with single image exposure after one trigger. -

Page 72: Exposure Time
The gain value influences the analog-to-digital conversion process of the image sensor pipeline and acts as a multiplier of the output signal. Using gain values greater than 0 will increase the pixel intensities but may also increase the overall noise level. For some camera models the gain can be set in discrete steps only.

This list is then used for the correction of acquired images during operation. The correction is inactive by default, but can be turned on by the user if a non-processed output is required. XIMEA Technical Manual, Version: v240920... -
Page 74: Hdr
To use this kind of HDR method the user has to define two pairs of parameters: (T1, SL1) and (T2, SL2). T1 and T2 define portions of the total exposure time and the length of the three timing phases SL1 and SL2 define portions of the sensor saturation, so called kneepoint1 and kneepoint2 XIMEA Technical Manual, Version: v240920... -

Page 76: Hdr Approx Logarithmic Saturation Curve
As a result, darker pixels can be integrated during the complete integration time and the full sensor sensitivity can be exploited. Brighter pixels are limited at the knee points and lose a part of their integration time. Figure 60: HDR approx logarithmic saturation curve XIMEA Technical Manual, Version: v240920... -

Hardware requirements The XIMEA USB3 cameras are compatible with USB 3.1, USB 3.0 and USB 2.0. Please note, that the highest performance can only be achieved by using high performance USB 3.1 or USB 3.0 ports. Using a USB 2.0 port will lead to a limited frame rate. -
