Displayed Frame Rate
Fig. 14 View Reduce Displayed Frames
The option
Reduce displayed frames
defines what frame rate is used to display the image. Typically,
the specification is in Hertz (Hz, images per second). The maximum frame rate of the imager depends on the
camera model you’re using. It is recommended to use the default parameters of 20 Hz.
The camera supplies the software with all images at the whole time. When you using a lower display frame-
rate you have to decide what should happen with the rest of the pictures. Under
Mode
you have several
options:
Off
The displayed frame rate correlates to the max. frequency of the camera.
Skipping
It skips so many pictures that the set display frame rate results.
Average
The pixels are averaged out of a sequence of images. This weakens the detector noise.
Minimum
From a sequence of images, the smallest value is displayed for each pixel.
Maximum
From a sequence of images, the highest value is displayed for each pixel.
Ext. Averaging Is a combination of average and skipping and is used at very low display rates. The
averaging time indicates how many percent of the set frame time should be averaged. In
the remaining time, the frames are skipped (e.g., if the display frequency is 1 Hz and the
averaging time is 10%, then 100 ms is averaged and 900 ms are skipped).
Therefore, please adjust the displayed frame rate according to your application as well as to the performance
of your computer.
> A reduced frame rate means a less loaded computer in terms of data processing.
