3.3 Modifying Camera Registers
The camera modes and functions are set and stored by internal camera registers. The
internal registers are initialized during power-up or by the software. During power-up,
the contents of the EEPROM are copied to the registers, after which, the camera is ready
to use.
The camera is factory-preset to operate in free-running mode with an 8-bit resolution and
a linear response. The corresponding values in each camera may be different from the
factory values due to the fine-tuning of each module.
To avoid problems with modified presets and to ensure the restoration of original
values, we recommend that you save the factory presets to an external storage media. To
save and restore the values, use the PFRemote.exe. Refer to Saving and Loading
EEPROM Settings on page 31 for further information on the PFRemote.
We also recommend that you do not alter the custom calibration settings available
through the calibration dialog box (Camera
→
Calibration). Consult DALSA support at
support@dalsa.com before altering calibration values.
The basic settings of the camera can be modified and stored (in the EEPROM) by the user.
The user can modify all parameters via the PFRemote software interface. After testing the
new parameters, they can be stored in the EEPROM. We recommend that you store your
parameters in the same way as the factory presets.
To modify camera registers:
1. In PFRemote, open a connection with the camera. For details on opening a connection
with your camera, see Opening PFRemote on page 30.
