Taps – sets the number of image taps used in the current
configuration. These are CCD taps, not output taps. In some
camera the tap selection is not available:
1. Single – only one CCD tap is used, the CCD has only one
tap, or one tap operation is available for dual tap CCDs.
2. Dual – two taps CCD operation, the CCD must support dual
tap operation.
Format – sets the output data format, i.e. the number of output
taps used and mapped to the camera link output. A graphical
visualization of the selected output data format is shown in the
center of the window:
1. 1 Tap Single – the output data is mapped to one tap only.
2. 2 Taps Interleaved – the output data is mapped to two taps in
interleaved order.
3. 2 Taps Sequential – the output data is mapped to two taps in
sequential order. This feature is optional.
4. 3 Taps RGB – the Bayer pixel output when color CCD is
used is converted to 3x8 bit RGB format. This feature is
optional.
Speed – controls the camera speed and frame rate. All camera
features are available in both (Slow and Fast) modes.
1. Normal – normal camera operation.
2. Overclock – over-clocked camera operation. The camera
speed (frame rate) significantly increases while preserving
the image frame size noise and overall performance.
FVAL – selects the size of the FVAL signal (valid lines in a
frame) and provides “Full size” or “active size” options. Two
sizes (camera dependent) are available for selection.
LVAL
– selects the size of the LVAL signal (valid pixels in a
line) and provides “Full size” or “active size” options. Two sizes
(camera dependent) are available for selection.
Image – converts the image from positive to negative.
Bit Depth: Sets the camera bit depth, and which bits to be used in the data
output.
Depth – sets the bit depth of the camera output to 8, 10, 12, or 14
bits. All internal camera processing is done in 14 bits. 14 bit
output is available ONLY in 1 Tap Single data format.
