To clearly explain the camera features the structure as described below is used throughout this chapter.
Section
headings indicate the group to which the features belong.
Subsection
headings indicate the
feature name
in bold and the
accessibility
and
visibility
in normal font.
For example:
7.5.2 Width

The possible accessibility and visibility values are given in respectively Table 7-1 and Table 7-2.
Table 7-1: Possible values for the accessibility level of a feature.

Table 7-2: Possible values for the visibility level of a feature.
Visibility level
Abbreviation
Description
Beginner
B
Features that should be visible for all users via the GUI and API. The
number of features with “beginner” visibility is limited to all basic features
of the devices so the GUI display is well-arranged and is easy to use.
Expert
E
Features that require a more in-depth knowledge of the camera
functionality. This is the visibility level for all advanced features in the
cameras.
Guru
G
Advanced features that might bring the cameras into a state where it will
not work properly anymore if it is set incorrectly for the cameras current
mode of operation. The guru parameters mainly have use in debugging.
Invisible
I
This is a special visibility level. It is applied to features that are required for
proper operation of the camera or for specific factory settings. Not all
frame grabbers make these features really invisible to the user. However
Adimec advises to not use these features
. For this reason they are not
explained in this manual. The features set to invisible are listed at the end
of this Chapter.
The features will mostly be described in a two column table in which the left column gives the possible
input/output values and the right column a short description of the feature or specific feature value. This general
presentation structure is visualized in below table.
