Parameter Description

Together with Camera, this parameter defines a coherent set of camera properties.

Parameter Description

The parameter complies to the following syntax: <Scan>xx<CamMode><SyncMode>[_<VerticalSyncMode>] where:

  • Scan designates the scanning method:
    • I: Interlaced scanning
    • P: Progressive scanning
  • CamMode designates the main camera operating mode:
    • R: Asynchronous Reset operating mode. The camera initiates an exposure/readout sequence when it gets a "Reset" signal from the frame grabber
    • S: Synchronous operating mode. The camera is free-running and delivers permanently video data
  • SyncMode designates the synchronization mode:
    • A: Analog Synchronization mode. The frame grabber uses the analog video signal to synchronize on the camera timing.
    • camera.
    • M: Master synchronization mode. The camera is synchronized on the frame grabber timing using HDrive (and eventually VDrive) signals delivered by the frame grabber.
  • VerticalSyncMode designates the vertical synchronization mode, this field omitted when the vertical sync mode is identical to the horizontal sync mode:
    • A: Analog Vertical Synchronization mode. The frame grabber uses the analog video signal to synchronize vertically on the camera timing.
    • D: Digital Vertical Synchronization mode. The frame grabber is synchronized vertically on the camera timing using the Vsync digital signals delivered by the camera.

Parameter Description

The parameter complies to the following syntax: <Imaging>xx[xx]<CamMode><Exp>where:

  • Imaging designates the type of imaging device:
    • L: Line-scan imaging device
    • P: Progressive area-scan imaging device
  • CamMode designates the main camera operating mode:
    • R: Asynchronous Reset operating mode. The camera initiates an exposure/readout sequence when it gets a "Reset" signal from the frame grabber
    • S: Synchronous operating mode. The camera is free-running and delivers permanently video data
  • Exp designates the exposure control method:
    • C: The exposure is controlled by the camera
    • G: The exposure is controlled by the frame grabber
    • P: The camera sensor has no exposure control .It is exposed permanently.
