Binning Control via Sapera LT or GigE Vision Compliant Applications
Genie Sapera parameters for Binning:
BinningHorizontal = {Disabled = 1, 2 pixels = 2}
BinningVertical = {Disabled = 1, 2 lines = 2}
In CamExpert, these parameters are available under the “Sensor” tab.
See "Accessing Features with + LT" on page 83.
XML features for Binning:
BinningHorizontal = Number of horizontally binned pixels (1=no binning,
2=binning of 2)
BinningVertical = Number of vertically binned lines (1=no binning,
2=binning of 2 lines)
Trigger Modes
Genie image exposures are initiated by an event. The trigger event is either the camera's
programmable internal clock used in free running mode, an external input used for
synchronizing exposures to external triggers, or a programmed function call message by the
controlling computer. These triggering modes are described below.
•
Free running (trigger disabled): The Genie free-running mode has a programmable
internal timer for frame rate and a programmable exposure period. Frame rate is 0.1 fps
to the maximum supported by the sensor. Exposures range maximum is also dependent
on the current frame rate. This always uses Synchronous mode where exposure is
aligned to the sensor horizontal line timing.
•
External trigger: Exposures are controlled by an external trigger signal. External
signals are isolated by an opto-coupler input with a time programmable debounce
circuit. See "General Inputs" on page 59. The following section provides information on
external trigger timing.
•
Software trigger: An exposure trigger is sent as a control command via the Ethernet
network connection. Software triggers can not be considered time accurate due to
network latency and sequential command jitter. But a software trigger is more
responsive than calling a single-frame acquisition (Snap command) since the latter must
validate the acquisition parameters and modify on-board buffer allocation if the buffer
size has changed since the last acquisition.
