3DPIXA
CD40131 Version 1
35 / 99
The 3DPIXA camera can be operated with 2 different encoder modes (see chapter 0, p. 86):
Encoder mode
Description
Line trigger mode
(classic mode)
In line trigger mode each encoder pulse (1) triggers one scanning
line output:
The pulse distances (2) must be larger than the integration time of
the camera, i.e., they depend on the selected image resolution.
If the line trigger reduction is used, the transport resolution is reduced
by the line trigger reduction factor (see chapter 7.6.7, p. 90).
Encoder mode
(advanced mode)
In encoder mode a defined number of encoder pulses (1) trigger one
scanning line output:
Even fractional numbers of encoder pulses are possible.
If the line encoder reduction is used, the transport resolution is
reduced by the encoder reduction factor (see chapter 0, p. 86).

4.10 Setting concept
The camera parameters are set, using the CST software supplied with the 3DPIXA cameras.
For a CST software description refer to the following manuals:
CP000470 models: allPIXA manual
CP000520 models: allPIXA pro manual
18 different settings can be stored in the 3DPIXA camera and are selectable by short
commands. This allows the user a quick change of the camera settings for different products.
The camera starts up with setting no. 1.
The write-protected setting no. 19 is reserved for the factory settings. The factory settings may
be used as a template for creating new settings.
Refer to the allPIXA (pro) manual for information on saving and loading settings.
