4.2.4.1 Setting and Getting Parameters
Capture parameters
This set of functions specifies the camera's image capture parameters, such as exposure, pixel clock and frame
rate:
is_ColorTemperature()
is_Exposure()
216
is_GetFramesPerSecond()
is_GetFrameTimeRange()
is_PixelClock()
294
is_SetAutoParameter()
is_Blacklevel()
170
is_Exposure()
216
is_SetFrameRate()
is_SetGainBoost()
is_SetGamma()
332
is_SetHardwareGain()
is_SetHWGainFactor()
is_PixelClock()
294
is_ResetToDefault()
Image geometry
This set of functions lets you influence the image geometry for image capture, e.g. the area of interest:
is_ImageFormat()
267
is_AOI()
159
is_SetBinning()
310
is_SetRopEffect()
is_SetSensorScaler()
is_SetSubSampling()
Processing image data
The following set of functions refers to the further processing of image data in the PC:
is_GetColorDepth()
is_GetTimeout()
256
144
: Using these functions, you can make settings for the camera and for image
144
: These functions specify e.g. how color images are processed after image capture.
148
: With these functions, you can query additional useful information on the camera
148
: All DCx Cameras have a non-volatile EEPROM where you can save the camera
