Main Function Description 

This  chapter  mainly  introduces  function  parameters  related  to  industrial  camera.  Please  refer  to 

"Properties" interface in MV Viewer for details of parameter information. 

 

 

Industrial camera supports three user levels which are Beginner, Expert and Guru. The parameter 

items in corresponding property interface of each level are slightly different. Please refer to No.9 in 

Sheet 4-1 for user level selection. 

 

The  parameter  items  displayed  in  black  indicate  that  the  parameter  can  be  changed  or  set.  The 

parameter items displayed in gray indicate that the parameter does not support change or setting in 

the current operating mode.
