7.9.10 WhiteBalanceOffsetY 

| RW | E |

 

Color Only 

0 to SensorHeight-2 
Increment: 1 

Vertical offset, relative to OffsetY, for the “white balance region of interest”, 
the region that is used for white balance calibration. (in pixels). 

 
This feature is automatically updated if any of the following features is changed: 
OffsetY 

7.9.11 WhiteBalanceCalibrate 

| WO | E |

 

Color Only 

Command 

Start the white balance calibration in the “white balance region of interest”. 
A gain value for red, green and blue are calculated to obtain the right white 
balance. These gains are automatically set. 

 

If the acquisistion is active, an image from the stream is used for the calculation. If the acquisition is 
inactive, the camera automatically starts an acquisition of one image. 

7.9.12 WhiteBalanceStatus 

| RO | E |

 

Color Only 

WhiteBalanceIdle 

No white balance related information is available. Waiting for white 
balance functions to be executed. 

WhiteBalanceStarted 

The calibration of the white balance has been started. 

WhiteBalanceCalibrateOk 

The white balance calibration has successfully finished. 

WhiteBalance_SensorTooDark  The sensor is too dark to perform a reliable white balance calibration. 

WhiteBalance_ColorClipped 

One of the color gains has clipped during calibration. 

 
This feature is automatically updated if any of the following features is changed: 
WhiteBalanceCalibrate 

7.10 Sensor 

Settings in the sensor chapter directly control sensor related settings. 
 

NOTE: 

For each SensorBitDepth and ProgrammableGainAmplifier configuration option a different dark field and 

bright field set is selected due to a change in sensor characteristics. Each set can be recalibrated to optimize for 
the environmental conditions. 

7.10.1 SensorBitDepth 

| RW | E |

  

Resolution_8_Bit 

Set the sensor resolution in 8 bit. 8 Bit is required to achieve 187 fps. 

Resolution_10_Bit 

Set the sensor resolution in 10 bit. 

 

This function controls the sensor ADC bit depth which is selectable between 8 and 10 bits per pixel. It is 
necessary to select 8 bit per pixel if a frame rate higher than 150 fps is required at full resolution. In the 8 
bit resolution the maximum achievable frame rate is 187 fps. When 10 bit per pixel is selected the image 
quality is slightly better as compared to 8 bit ADC mode. For the 187 fps at full resolution also the 
PixelFormat needs to be set to 8 bit.
