5 Functionality
5.7 Crosshairs
5.7.1 Functionality
The crosshairs inserts a vertical and horizontal line into the image. The width of these lines is
one pixel. The grey level is defined by a 12 bit value (0 means black, 4095 means white). This
allows to set any grey level to get the maximum contrast depending on the acquired image.
The x/y position and the grey level can be set via the camera software. Figure Fig. 5.32 shows
two examples of the activated crosshairs with different grey values. One with white lines and
the other with black lines.
The 12-bit format of the grey level was chosen to be compatible with other
Photonfocus cameras.

DR1 models: The crosshairs might be slightly distorted in the DR1-encoded im-
age.
