Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ TAcquisitionField

enum TAcquisitionField

Defines which field triggers the start of the acquisition (deprecated.

Deprecated: Beginning with the release of 3.0.0 of Impact Acquire everything specifically related to frame grabber boards will be considered as deprecated and might be removed without further notice!

Enumerator

afOdd	Only odd fields will be digitised. Deprecated Beginning with the release of 3.0.0 of Impact Acquire everything specifically related to frame grabber boards will be considered as deprecated and might be removed without further notice!
afEven	Only even fields will be digitised. Deprecated Beginning with the release of 3.0.0 of Impact Acquire everything specifically related to frame grabber boards will be considered as deprecated and might be removed without further notice!
afAny	Odd and even fields will be digitised. Deprecated Beginning with the release of 3.0.0 of Impact Acquire everything specifically related to frame grabber boards will be considered as deprecated and might be removed without further notice!

◆ TAutoControlMode

enum TAutoControlMode

Defines valid auto control modes.

Enumerator

acmStandard

The standard auto control mode.

acmDeviceSpecific

A device specific auto control mode.

mvBlueFOX specific: For mvBlueFOX devices of type 202b and 202d the operation in device specific AEC/AGC mode is limited in (non continuous)triggered-modes. AEC/AGC only works while the trigger signal is active. As these sensor types only support the trigger modes ctmOnHighLevel and ctmOnLowLevel 'active' means that the required signal level for that mode(either high or low) is present.

When this signal level is no longer present AEC/AGC will stop working and gain and exposure will be set to a static value. This is due to a limitation of the sensor chip. Effectively this means that for single frame triggering requiring short active pulses AEC/AGC is not possible.

Note: This mode is not available for every mvBlueFOX camera.

bfstLowSmearLineSkip

This mode is not available for every mvBlueFOX camera.

◆ TBlueFOXTransferSize

camUser	Use a user defined AOI window.

◆ TCameraBinningMode

enum TCameraBinningMode

Defines valid binning modes for the camera.

Note: Binning might be available for color sensors that do not support color binning. This will result in incorrect color information when the data is converted from a Bayer sensor. However under some circumstances this feature might be useful (e.g. when taking image in a very dark surrounding or at night where almost no color information will be contained in the image anyway thus resulting in useful images again). Therefore this feature has deliberately left available.

◆ TCameraExposeMode

enum TCameraExposeMode

Defines recognized camera sensor expose modes.

Enumerator

cemStandard

Standard sequential mode.

In this mode the sensor first is exposed and then afterwards the image readout is performed.

cemOverlapped

Overlapped mode, expose during image readout.

This only affects the behaviour of the acquisition in TCameraTriggerMode is set to ctmContinuous.

In this mode the flash output should NOT be used. In any case the flash output will NOT work like in cemStandard but only a short pulse will be sent to the output.

cemNoShutter

'No shutter' mode, switch off exposure control.

This only affects the behaviour of the acquisition in TCameraTriggerMode is set to ctmContinuous. In this case the shutter of the camera is never closed. Thus the exposure time in this mode is equal to the reciprocal value of the current frame rate.

◆ TCameraTapsYGeometry

enum TCameraTapsYGeometry

Multi-tap cameras can transmit data in different ways. This enumeration can be used to define how the camera transmits the lines of pixels.

Enumerator
cltyg1Y	Lines from top to bottom.
cltyg1Y2	Two neighbouring lines are transmitted during one FVAL.
cltyg2YE	One line from top and one line from bottom are transmitted during one FVAL.

◆ TCameraTestMode

enum TCameraTestMode

Defines valid transmission modes for the camera.

Enumerator
ctmOff	The 'normal' camera image will be transmitted.
ctmGreyRamp	A grey gradient will be transmitted by the camera.
ctmMovingColor	A color test image with some moving components in it will be displayed.
ctmWBTest	A raw white Bayer image will be transmitted.

◆ TCameraTriggerMode

enum TCameraTriggerMode

Defines valid camera sensor trigger modes.

Enumerator
ctmContinuous	Don't wait for trigger. In this mode the camera continuously exposes images with the current settings. However images are not transferred to the host system automatically in this mode, so NO CPU load or whatsoever is produced in this mode when the driver isn't asked for images by the user. This mode is recommended for most applications and will be available for every image sensor. When the user requests an image the image AFTER the next frame start will be returned. In applications that need fast but NOT continuous image transfer the ctmOnDemand therefore might be more interesting.
ctmOnDemand	Start frame expose when the software asks for an image. Here without image requests by the user the image sensor will not expose images. An exposure and image transmission will start immediately after at least one images has been requested by the user. When e.g. a camera in free running mode captures 30 images per sec. and the user needs an image every 40 ms (25 fps) this mode might be more suitable than ctmContinuous as in the continuous mode when asking for an image every 40 ms the user might need to wait for the next frame start which at 30 Hz in the worst case would result in a capture time of (1/30Hz)2 = 66.6 ms when an image start has just been missed. In ctmOnDemand* however the image exposure will be started immediately after the request reaches the camera thus no delay will be introduced. Note In applications where the capture time can be disregarded because either the transfer time is much higher or the capture frequency is very low the difference between the ctmOnDemand and the ctmContinuous can be disregarded as well. However in this case ctmContinuous is recommended as this mode will be available for every sensor type and is more universal.
ctmOnLowLevel	Start the exposure of a frame when the trigger input is below the trigger threshold. Each time an image is requested and the trigger signal is below the trigger threshold a image will be captured.
ctmOnHighLevel	Start the exposure of a frame when the trigger input is above the trigger threshold. Each time an image is requested and the trigger signal is above the trigger threshold a image will be captured.
ctmOnFallingEdge	Start the exposure of a frame when the trigger input level changes from high to low.
ctmOnRisingEdge	Start the exposure of a frame when the trigger input level changes from low to high.
ctmOnHighExpose	Start frame expose when the trigger input level rises above the trigger threshold and expose while the trigger input level remains above this threshold.
ctmOnLowExpose	Start frame expose when the trigger input level falls below the trigger threshold and expose while the trigger input level remains below this threshold.
ctmOnAnyEdge	Start the exposure of a frame when the trigger input level changes from high to low or from low to high.
ctmFramerateControlled	Start the exposure of a frame when the trigger input level changes from high to low or from low to high. This mode is behaves like ctmContinuous but allows the FPS-Rate to be controlled directly.

◆ TDeviceAdvancedOptions

enum TDeviceAdvancedOptions

Defines valid advanced options.

These enums may be 'ored' together.

Enumerator
daoOff	No advanced option selected.
daoLowLight	Put camera in low light mode. This is a special feature offered by some sensors. Typically this will enable an additional analogue gain that will increase both the luminance and the noise of the resulting image. This feature can not be configured any further and there also is no additional information available on this topic.
daoEmbeddedImageInfo	Embed sensor specific info into the image readout buffer.
daoImageAverage	Calculate the average intensity value of the image and return as part of the request.
daoPipelinedGainExposeControl	Enable pipelined Gain/Exposure control. This will result in a changed exposure or gain value becoming active not with the next frame but the one after that. Changing Gain/Exposure will be faster in pipelined Gain/Exposure control mode. Since 2.1.3
daoOnDemandTriggerPreShot	Enable on demand trigger pre-shot option. This will trigger an internal image capture cycle on the sensor prior to the user requested frame. Can be used to remove variations in image quality when working with unstable frame rates. Since 2.5.0
daoLowFrameRateOptimization	Enable low frame rate optimization. This will result in a much reduced variation in the offset signal when changing the sensor frame rate or running the sensor at low frame rates. The offset will change slightly if switched on and the signal response is slightly reduced.
daoEnablePerChannelOffsetCorrection	Enable per channel offset correction. Allow per channel offset correction in non auto offset mode for sensors with a Bayer (RGGB) based analog path. The per channel offset value will be added to the master offset (Offset_pc).
daoUseRawSensorGain	Enable raw sensor gain. Use mathematical correct gain for sensor setting. Thus increasing the gain by 6 dB will actually result in a factor of 2. However with this option enabled the gain range will include values so low that the pixel saturation charge will be with in ADC digitizer range thus an over-saturated image will contain pixels that do NOT contain the maximum value for the given pixel format. Since 2.5.6
daoTriggerSensorColumnCalibration	Trigger sensor column correction. When switched on this triggers a single column correction calibration process when requesting an image. To do it again switch it off and on again. This should be done while no acquisition is running. Changing gain or AOI could make such a recalibration necessary.

◆ TDeviceDigitalOutputMode

enum TDeviceDigitalOutputMode

ddomDigitalSignalPassThrough	A signal connected to a digital input is passed through to this digital output.
ddomDigitalSignalPassThroughInv	A signal connected to a digital input is inverted and passed to this digital output.
ddomInternalVD	An internal VD sync. signal will be passed to this digital output. In case of a camera this e.g. might be the cameras internal VD signal. This then can be used to synchronize two or more cameras.
ddomRealTimeController	The digital output is controlled by a Real Time Controller.
ddomExposureAndAcquisitionActive	When there is at least one outstanding request the digital output will change its state during the active exposure period of the image sensor and will switch back to its initial state again once the exposure period is over.
