Line Acquisition Modes
Basler sprint Mono Cameras 39
3 Line Acquisition Modes
This section describes the line acquisition modes available on the camera.
3.1 Introduction
Several different methods can be used to acquire (capture) lines with the sensor in the camera.
Each of these different methods is referred to as a line acquisition mode. The line acquisition modes
include:
„
Single Line [Max 70 kHz]
„
Dual Line [Max 140 kHz] - Line A First (spL2048-140km and spL4096-140km only)
„
Dual Line [Max 140 kHz] - Line B First (spL2048-140km and spL4096-140km only)
„
Vertical Binning
„
Time Delayed Line Summing - Line A Delayed
„
Time Delayed Line Summing - Line B Delayed
„
Line Averaging
„
Time Delayed Line Averaging - Line A Delayed
„
Time Delayed Line Averaging - Line B Delayed
The line acquisition modes are described in detail from Section 3.2 on page 40 through Section 3.5
on page 51 .
To understand the line acquisition modes, you must be aware of the architecture of the sensor.
Refer to Figure 7 on
page 14 for 2k and 4k cameras, and to Figure 11 on page 18 for 8k cameras.
When you examine a figure, notice that the sensor contains two lines that are adjacent to each other
and are oriented along the center line of the camera. Also notice that one of the lines is designated
as line A and the other is designated as line B.
Horizontal Binning
A feature called horizontal binning is also described in this section. Horizontal binning is not a
discrete line acquisition mode. Rather it is a function that can be used together with any of the line
acquisition modes described above. For more information about horizontal binning, see Section 3.8
