Linea CL Series Camera
Camera Control Category
The Linea CL camera controls, as shown by CamExpert, groups sensor specific features. This group
includes controls for line rate, exposure time, and so forth. Parameters in gray are read only, either
always or due to another feature being disabled. Parameters in black are user set in CamExpert or
programmable via an imaging application.
Features listed in the description table but tagged as Invisible are usually for Teledyne DALSA or
third party software usage—not typically needed by end user applications.

The following table describes these features along with their view attribute. Additionally the
Standard & View column will indicate which feature is a member of the custom DALSA Features
Naming Convention (indicated by DFNC), versus the GenICam Standard Features Naming
Convention (SFNC not shown).
