Acquire Image

This is what the TWAIN
dialog box looks like for
the SC30 camera.
Live image You will find your camera's live image in the left side of the TWAIN dialog box.
Click this button to open the TWAIN dialog box for the image acquisition.
Before calling up the command, select the image buffer into which the image is
to be stored. If it already contains an image, then the next image buffer will be
reserved for the image.
Description of the TWAIN dialog box
The live image enables you to comfortably align, illuminate, and focus on the
object, as well as the possibility to optimally set your camera's settings.
Camera
The Camera field shows you the selected cameras with their serial numbers.
Resolution
The Resolution list enables you to select which XY-resolution is to be used for
acquiring the image. A lower resolution results from combining numerous neigh-
boring pixels ("binning") or from partially reading out the pixels ("subsampling").
That depends on the camera type. The frame rate is increased both for binning
and for subsampling. In addition the camera is more sensitive for binning. The
SC30 type camera is able to use resolutions of 2048 x 1532, 1024 x 768, 680 x
512 and 508 x 384 pixels, for example.
Exposure time
You can set the exposure time in the Exposure time group.
