5.6. Camera Control

The camera configuration parameters may be interactively changed by opening the camera
settings dialog box. The user may set the camera in play mode and adjust the parameters.

Exposure Time
Use the f-stop buttons to select a new exposure value. The value is in microseconds

Rate
The current camera rate is updated any time a parameter changes.

Contrast and Brightness
Use the spin buttons to select new values of brightness and contrast. The range is from -100
to 100.

Binning
Use the Binning drop-down list to select a new value from 1x1 to 4x4. Pixels may be grouped
to form a larger pixel, which results in added SNR and sensitivity. When this parameter is
changed, the Region of Interest (ROI) is reset. The control is disabled when the camera is in
live mode.

Pixel Format
Use the Pixel Depth drop-down list to select from the following options: 8-bit (Gray 8) or 10-bit
(Gray 16) for monochrome cameras (12-bit for 1500-EX camera model). The control is
disabled when the camera is playing.
