6.2.6 Get feature list of camera

A list of all features of the Photonfocus G2 cameras in HTML format can be found in the
GenICam_Feature_Lists sub-directory (in Start -> All Programs -> Photonfocus -> GigE_Tools).
Alternatively, the feature list of the connected camera can be retrieved with the PF_GEVPlayer
(Tools -> Save Camera Features as HTML...).

6.3 Pleora SDK

The eBUS package provides the PureGEV C++ SDK for image acquisition and the setting of
properties. A help file is installed in the Pleora installation directory, e.g. C:\Program
Files\Pleora Technologies Inc\eBUS SDK\Documentation.
Various code samples are installed in the installation directory, e.g. C:\Program Files\Pleora
Technologies Inc\eBUS SDK\Samples. The sample PvPipelineSample is recommended to start with.
Samples that show how to set device properties are included in the PFInstaller that can be
downloaded from the Photonfocus webpage.

6.4 Frequently used properties

A property list for every camera is included in the PFInstaller that can be downloaded from the
Photonfocus webpage.
The following list shows some frequently used properties that are available in the Beginner
mode. The category name is given in parenthesis.
Width (ImageFormatControl) Width of the camera image ROI (region of interest)
Height (ImageFormatControl) Width of the camera image ROI
OffsetX, OffsetY (ImageFormatControl) Start of the camera image ROI
ExposureTime (AcquisitionControl) Exposure time in microseconds
TriggerMode (AcquisitionControl) External triggered mode
TriggerSource (AcquisitionControl) Trigger source if external triggered mode is selected
Header_Serial (Info / CameraInfo) (Visiblity: Guru) Serial number of the camera
UserSetSave (UserSetControl) Saves the current camera settings to non-volatile flash memory.

6.5 Calibration of the FPN Correction

The following procedures can be most easily done with the PF_GEVPlayer.

6.5.1 Offset Correction (CalibrateBlack)

The offset correction is based on a black reference image, which is taken at no illumination
(e.g. lens aperture completely closed). The black reference image contains the fixed-pattern
noise of the sensor, which can be subtracted from the live images in order to minimise the
static noise.
Procedure to achieve a good correction:
