Edge Enhancer, Color Enhancer
This camera is equipped with an edge enhancer function for enhancing the contrast of lines or
edges within images and a color enhancer function for enhancing specified colors.
Edge enhancer function
The edge enhancer function is enabled when EnhancerEnable[Edge] is set to True. Four
enhancement levels are available: Low, Middle, High, and Strong.
*) For SP-12401C-PGE, This function is valid only when PixelFormat is RGB8,
RGB10V1Packed, RGB10p32.
Color enhancer function
(SP-12401C-PGE only)
The color enhancer function is enabled when EnhancerEnable[Color] is set to True. Set a
value from 0 to 1 (0.1 steps) for ColorEnhancerValue[ColorEnhancerSelector] to set the
enhancement to one of ten levels (0: no enhancement; 1: approx. x2 the color level of the
original data) Six colors can be specified in ColorEnhancerSelector: Red, Cyan, Green,
Magenta, Blue, and Yellow.
*) This function is valid only when PixelFormat is RGB8, RGB10V1Packed, RGB10p32.
CounterAndTimerControl Function
This camera supports only the counter function.
The counter function counts up change points in the camera’s internal signals using the
camera’s internal counter, and reads that information from the host side. This function is
useful for verifying error conditions via the count value using internal camera operations.
Four counters are available on the camera; Counter0, Counter1, Counter2, and Counter3.
The functions that can be counted are fixed for each counter.
Counter0: Counts the number of FrameStartTrigger instances.
Counter1: Counts the number of ExposureStart instances.
Counter2: Counts the number of SensorReadOut instances.
Counter3: Counts the number of FrameTransferEnd instances.
When a problem occurs in a system that includes this camera, comparing the values from
multiple counters allows you to verify the extent of normal operability and can be useful when
investigating the cause of the problem.
