4 Configuring the Camera
The
L301
kc
comes factory-set so that it will work properly for most applications with minor changes
to the camera configuration. For normal operation, the following parameters are usually
configured by the user:
• Exposure time control mode
• Exposure time (for ExSync programmable mode or free-run programmable mode)
To customize operation for your particular application, the following parameters can also be
configured:
• Spatial Correction
• Gain
• Offset
• Area of Interest
• Digital Shift
The
L301
kc
is programmable via the Camera Link serial port on the frame grabber. Two methods
can be used to change the camera’s settings. The first and easier approach is to change the
settings using the Camera Configuration Tool Plus. See Section
4.1 and the configuration tool’s
on-line help file for instructions on using the configuration tool. You can also change the settings
directly from your application using binary commands. Section
4.2 lists the binary commands and
provides instructions for their use.
