Overlay Category

The Calibir Overlay category, as shown by CamExpert, groups parameters used to enable and

configure a graphic overlay in the output image. Each overlay can be individually set active

allowing multiple overlays at the same time.

Figure 38: Overlay Category

Overlay Feature Descriptions

Table 17: Overlay Feature Descriptions describes these parameters along with their view attribute.

Additionally the View column indicates which parameter is a member of the DALSA Features

Naming Convention (denoted by DFNC), versus the GenICam Standard Features Naming

Convention (SFNC tag is not shown).

Overlay Global Mode

overlayGlobalMode

Sets the enable state of the display of overlays. This

globally enables/disables the display of all currently enabled

overlays in the image.

Beginner

DFNC

Black background

graphBlackBar Black background. The black background can be used to

ensure that graphic overlays are visible regardless of the

image scene.

Reticle

graphReticle Reticle (crosshair) graphic overlay. By default, the reticle

position is in the center of the image (320, 240).

ROI

graphROI Displays the corners of a 30x30 ROI. By default this

position is centered around the reticle (if enabled). The top-

left corner is used to specify the ROI position.

Color map

graphColorMap Displays the range of possible pixel colors in the image as a

rectangular graphic (10 pixels high), increasing intensity

from left to right. By default, the color map position in the

bottom right (370, 470).

Frame Counter

textFrameCount Frame counter graphic overlay. By default, the frame

counter position is in the bottom left corner (0, 465).

Overlay Mode

overlayMode

Sets the enable state of the selected graphic overlay.
